Some Hen Night Cocktail Ideas
Every cocktail masterclass is designed to be a bit of craic and also a little bit customisable, that’s the real beauty of it! Here we’ve listed some popular ideas that can add that unique twist to your event:
- Think About Themes; Match your drinks to the theme of your hen party, whether it's giving a tropical vibe, a low-key 1920s speakeasy, or something more elegant, regal and classy.
- Signature Cocktail Creation: Each guest can create their own cocktail to represent the bride (or the group), adding a personal touch to the event – you could even wheel the drink out at the wedding, as long as it’s not absolute rocket fuel!
- Cocktail & Food Pairing: Some venues can offer up some pairing experiences, where cocktails are matched with tasty snacks or canapés for the ultimate bougie experience.
