A well-designed cocktail menu can help make any event shine. The mood is often more relaxed during an after-party event, and the cocktails should reflect that lighthearted feel. For an exceptional party, we recommend that you offer a selection of drinks that will keep guests enjoying themselves and impressed with the consistent style of the event. As one of South Florida's leading luxury event companies, Thierry Isambert is here to present some of our original craft cocktails that many of our guests have loved over the years.
Pardon My Parisian
A champagne cocktail is a great choice for an after-party event because it's a fun, celebratory drink that isn't too strong to enjoy as the night wears on. The Pardon My Parisian is inspired by the vintage cocktail French 75, which was rumored to have been invented by American soldiers during World War I.
Pardon My Parisian is a refined take on this classic. We include equally high-quality ingredients to highlight the excellent quality of champagne, such as Veuve Cliquot. A mix of St. Germaine liquor, lavender simple syrup, and gin is added to the champagne. The result is a complex and refreshing cocktail, with the mood-lifting effect of champagne turned up a few levels.
Spring and Summer in a Glass
Provencal Sour and Watermelon Cooler bring fresh flavors in sophisticated ways for a bright, warm-weather feeling.
A Provencal Sour lightens bourbon whiskey with the bright tang of fresh lemon juice, then layers it with a sweet, gentle hint of lavender. This cocktail is like a fresh spring breeze.
For a drink that captures the best of summer, try our Watermelon Cooler. We start with freshly squeezed watermelon juice, then mix in simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, Dolin Blanc, and orange bitters, and finish with the fresh, woodsy aroma of a sprig of rosemary as a garnish. Our guests have reported that a Watermelon Cooler is almost as fun to look at as it is to drink, with its bright hue from ruby red watermelon.
Liven Up Classics with Fresh Flavors
Some cocktails are classics for a reason. Although there is always a place for these tried-and-true drinks, adding a new flavor can create something exciting and new, making them the perfect choice for the informal feel of an after-party event.
You can only beat a simple gin and lime if you elevate it with the intoxicating aroma of basil. A Basil Smash takes gin and fresh lime juice, sweetening it with a dash of simple syrup, and adds a whiff of basil to create something unexpected. Garnished with a small bundle of emerald green basil leaves, this cocktail is simple and perfect.
For a new take on a classic, a Pineapple Mojito adds a dash of pineapple rum, creating the mojito you never knew you were missing. With rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and a garnish of lime and mint, this cocktail is attention-getting and fun. For a mojito you'll love to drink, we find it essential to keep it from being too sweet so the layers of flavor can shine.
Caliente is a cocktail that brings a spicy kick without being overwhelming. Starting with Don Julio, a high-quality tequila, we add Ancho Reyes, an authentic chile liquor made in Mexico. Our method aids in balancing the bite with a splash of lime juice, simple syrup, and strawberry.
