Sometimes, it’s the little touches that turn an ordinary party into something extraordinary. This roundup of creative ways to serve drinks was originally intended for brides planning outdoor weddings, but I think the ideas could easily be adapted to any sort of party.
The mason jar drinks are my favorite, but I’d be up for serving beverages in a canoe if I could get my hands on one! Click here to see the full list of ideas.
Here are some other great ways to serve drinks that we have collected to supplement the above list. We have personally seen some of these ideas at our friends weddings!

Inflatable Ice trough

When it comes to serving drinks at a wedding, there are plenty of creative ways to make your beverage station stand out and leave a lasting impression on your guests. Here are a few ideas to consider:
Signature Cocktails in Unique Glasses: Create one or two signature cocktails that reflect your personality as a couple, and serve them in unique glasses. For example, if you’re having a beach wedding, serve your drinks in cute tiki glasses
or seashell-shaped cups
.
Infused Water Station: Keep your guests hydrated with a refreshing infused water station. Set up a table with different pitchers of water, each infused with different fruits or herbs. Label each pitcher with the ingredients and let your guests serve themselves.
Champagne Wall:
If you’re looking for a show-stopping way to serve champagne, consider setting up a champagne wall. Create a wall made of acrylic shelves, each holding a single glass of champagne. As guests arrive, they can pluck their glass off the wall and enjoy.
Rustic Drink Dispensers
: For a rustic touch, consider using drink dispensers made of glass or metal. Fill them with your favorite beverages, such as lemonade, iced tea, or cocktails. Add fresh fruit or herbs to each dispenser for a touch of color and flavor.
DIY Cocktail Bar: Set up a DIY cocktail bar, where guests can mix and create their own cocktails. Provide a variety of spirits, mixers, and garnishes, along with recipe cards for inspiration. This interactive approach is sure to be a hit with your guests.
Boozy Popsicles: For a fun and refreshing twist, serve boozy popsicles as a dessert or late-night snack. Make your own or work with a local caterer or vendor to create custom flavors that reflect your wedding theme.
