This drink was a conversation starter and left guests impressed! The best part? You can switch the vodka with tequila and enjoy the same drink as a paloma. Definitely a must try!
Timeless Sips That Never Go Out of Style
While trendy cocktails definitely had their moment, it’s clear that classics are classic for a reason. These beloved cocktails remained must-haves for guests looking for familiar flavors.
Old Fashioned: A whiskey lover’s dream with bitters, sugar, and a twist of orange peel. Classic, smooth, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Espresso Martini: This indulgent yet energizing cocktail was the perfect post-dinner pick-me-up with vodka, coffee liqueur, and brewed espresso.
These drinks prove that when it comes to cocktails, sometimes the oldies really are the goodies!
the rise of mocktails
2024 was all about inclusivity, and mocktails were front and center. These non-alcoholic options weren’t an afterthought, they were thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor.

Virgin Cranberry Mule - A bold, crisp mocktail that is packed with flavor.
Mocktails ensures everyone could raise a glass and celebrate in style!
