Other hosting tips
An at-home bar is fancy enough, but it doesn’t take much to make a homemade cocktail feel like a luxury. Give guests that luxury holiday experience by making easy holiday cocktails with flair.
- Garnish the cocktail. After all, a huge part of the holidays is the atmosphere. The cocktail will still taste delicious, but an added garnish provides something extra to the drink and makes it look amazing for holiday pictures. Not only do we have fun rimmers, but we also outline which garnishes work best with each cocktail.
- Use the right glassware. We offer glassware for all our cocktail pods. The right glass makes for a classic cocktail and keeps them cool and well-balanced all night long.
- Let the Bartesian do the work. You can make all these cocktails by hand and find all the ingredients you need, or you can use the Bartesian cocktail maker to pour the perfect holiday cocktail every time.
Making the holidays easier with cocktail pods
The holidays are already filled with cleaning, cooking, baking, and planning, regardless of which holiday you celebrate. Don’t let bartending be an added stressor. Bartesian offers all kinds of cocktail pods so you don’t have to find and store various ingredients for every cocktail you intend to make.
Once a cocktail pod is inserted into the Bartesian cocktail machine, the cocktail is immediately identified via barcode and suggests the proper glassware on the user interface touchscreen. The Bartesian cocktail machine lets you customize the pour strength of the drink ranging from mocktail to strong, then simply press Mix, and all of your holiday worries disappear.
