Wine & Cheese evening
Must have barware items:

3 piece corkscrew set
Wine aerator
Bottle stoppers
Double walled ice-bucket
Wine cooler

A few tips:

Fresh strawberries, melon and apple make great palate cleansers in between tasters. Serve them in bowls in between your cheese selection.
It’s always a good idea to have variety when it comes to the strength of your cheese, anything from a mild gouda to a strong gorgonzola.
Have water readily available

Cocktail evening
Must have barware items:

8 piece cocktail set
Manual ice crusher

A few tips:

Stick to one or two signature cocktails and theme your party around it
Have ready made cocktails available for guests and also leave some ingredients aside so that guests can make there own and have a ‘cocktail-off’
Finger foods are best for a cocktail evening – provide a range of simple snacks that friends can munch on while they socialize

Whiskey tasting evening:
Must Have barware items:

Soapstone chilling stones
Double walled ice-bucket

A few tips:

Have water and ice readily available
Have each friend bring a bottle of their choice and decant each one into tasting glasses. Number each glass and have guests choose their favourite without knowing the brand.
Serve whiskey inspired food – bourbon glazed ribs, or snack sized steak rolls with whiskey sautéed mushrooms

Hosting a fun evening doesn’t start and stop at the drinks. Going the extra mile, and having the right tools, accessories and tasters will have your guests talking about your parties for months to come!
