As we bid farewell to the holiday season, it’s that time of the year when we nestle in, focusing on keeping warm and cozy. Hence this month’s theme: A Winter Cocktail Party! ❄️🍸
After the holidays, it’s sometimes hard to think of hosting again, but the colder days ahead require some love too! So, keep it simple. We love casual get-togethers, and you should too—no need to let a busy schedule get in the way of spending time with loved ones.
Ever heard of ‘cinq à sept’? It’s a French tradition, and it’s the inspiration behind our favourite way to socialize: cocktail parties. They’re light, simple, and perfect for those new to hosting. Plus, they’re the source of our most memorable evenings, filled with laughter and mingling.
The best part about cocktail parties? It is so easy to adjust the menu based on your guest count. No need for formal seating—whether in the backyard or the kitchen, we encourage party crashing. We also love inviting guests who don’t know each other. Cocktail parties are a fantastic way to make new friends. During introductions, a comment about shared interests helps conversations flow.
Seb’s tip? Signature cocktails add a touch of fun and unexpected elegance. Greet your guests with a specially crafted cocktail—it’s a warm welcome from the moment they step through the door.
So buckle in, because that’s what we’ll be diving into all the tips and tricks all month long. Cheers to hosting and happy New Year’s!
