From Studio 54 to Your Bar: Disco Cocktails Ready to Get the Party Started
Hey party people! Your resident mobile mixologist is back, and this time, we're throwing it back to the era of bell-bottoms, fur, and disco balls! Are you ready to host a bash so legendary, your friends will be trading stories for weeks? If you’re throwing a Studio 54 themed party that's dripping with disco decadence, here's how to make dazzling drinks that'll get your friends shaking their groove thang.
Far Out Cocktail Presentation
Presentation is key when you’re having a themed soirée! Invest in some funky glassware – think coupes, fishbowls, and rocks glasses that scream "70s." Don't forget the garnishes! Disco ball stirring sticks, edible glitter, and elegant dried fruit are some ways you can make your drinks look foxy. Your menu design is another opportunity to set the tone before guests take their first sip.
Select Outta’ Sight Drinks
When choosing a drink menu, get inspired by the era. In the 1970s, soda guns were a bartender’s best friend for fast service at the bar. Traditional drinks were getting ditched for sexy, colorful offerings that would keep people out of lines and on the dance floor. Flash forward, we find our clients prefer a fresher take. We put a modern twist to popular drinks from the 70s by introducing fresh squeezed juices and higher end spirits.
Cater to Your Guest
We have learned over the years, that a great signature cocktail menu is balanced. By selecting drinks that are Tart, Light, Strong, Bright, you will have something for everyone. Don't forget the mocktails! Create equally dazzling drinks with vibrant colors and playful garnishes, simply leave out the booze. They'll feel just as included to get their groove on.
Disco-Era Cocktails That Still Shake It
Here's a sample cocktail menu that caters to every disco queen's taste:
The Brass Monkey (Tart): This vibrant cocktail blends Jamaican rum, bergamot vodka, and a touch of spiced port wine for a complex and tart flavor. It can be prepared in a classic punch bowl, ladled into punch glasses and finish with a float of wine, making it a perfect Welcome Drink.
Strawberry Spritz (Light): A refreshing mix of aperitivo, muddled strawberries, and a hint of rhubarb bitters. Served in a festive fishbowl goblet, it's perfect for those who want to feel light on their feet.
Empress Negroni (Strong): This one's for the bold. Butterfly pea gin creates a stunning blue hue, balanced by bitter bianco and dry vermouth. Served on the rocks with a big, beautiful ice cube, it's a sophisticated statement.
La Chona (Bright): Tequila, cucumber, jalapeño – a spicy concoction with a refreshing kick. Topped with seltzer and a playful grapefruit pizza slice garnish, it's a party in a glass.
With this bitchin’ cocktail menu, your Studio 54 themed party will be the talk of the town. Remember, it's all about the experience! So put on your dancing shoes, crank up the Donna Summer, and get ready to impress your friends with a night they won't soon forget. Now go forth, disco queens, and conquer the dance floor!
