Planning a cocktail to go with the theme of your evening is a fun way to get your get together started. Everyone can arrive to a welcome cocktail, have a little appetizer and get ready to enjoy an evening together. Plan your dinner menu first, then your appetizers if you are having them. Then, your cocktail. There are so many options when it comes to cocktails. Think about what glass you will serve it in. Set up a little area with your cocktail ingredients, garnishes, cocktail napkins, stirrers, sparkling water, still water, and a few nibbles. Think olives and nuts.

This margarita can be made as a batch cocktail, making it the perfect welcome drink for when your guests arrive. Set out your glasses, a bucket of ice, and garnishes for your guests to help themselves. Festive and so good! Speaking of batch cocktails, my White Christmas Sangria is another cocktail that is great to serve during the holiday season.
You could even make a really big batch by mixing all of the ingredients in a glass drink dispenser, add some ice, lime slices and orange slices, and fresh cranberries. Set this out with your appetizers or at your bar area and your guests have a great cocktail to enjoy.
