DIY Garnish Bar: Make Guests Feel Fancy
Guests remember the little details. A DIY garnish bar makes drinks feel personal and gives people something to interact with. For more hosting ideas, see How to Host a Cocktail Night and Garnish Goals.
What to Include
Citrus wedges, fresh herbs, seasonal fruit and a couple of rim options (salt, sugar, Tajín). Keep it simple so it doesn’t look cluttered. For edible flowers, see 5 Edible Flowers.
How to Set It Up
Use small bowls or jars on a tray. Place it near the drinks so people can garnish as they like. Pair with seasonal recipes from 5 Easy Fall Cocktails or the Christmas Cocktails guide.
A garnish bar doesn’t need to be elaborate — it just needs to feel considered.
