Here are Blake Shelton’s & Smithworks Vodka three must have holiday entertaining tips.
1. Know your guests taste preferences
When you invite a group over for a holiday party, make sure that you know people’s likes and dislikes. For example, if no one likes red wine, don’t let that beverage be the only cocktail served. According to Shelton, he knows that a lot of his friends enjoy lemon lime soda. His holiday signature cocktail uses that particular type of soda.
2. Add a touch of personality to everything that you
From a signature look to a favorite phrase, everyone has a spark to his personality. At any holiday gathering make sure to add some of that vibrant personality. From a little garnish to a signature color, the added touch doesn’t have to be elaborate. Just make sure that everyone sees that special part of you in the holiday event.
3. Raise a glass to family and friends
The holidays are about friends and family. Why not celebrate those special people and those special moments over a cocktail. Once everyone arrives, propose a toast to family and friends. The words don’t have to be extremely eloquent. The sentiment is what matters. Toast to the memories, the laughs and the holiday cheer.
