Style advice

Warm welcome

Make guests feel at home. Leave out an open bottle of bubbly they can pour, crackers to pull and bitesize snacks they can easily help themselves to.

Mix it up

Give your set-up character with an eclectic selection of glassware. Different-sized glasses and accessories from various eras adds interest – mix an antique decanter with the latest trends from your fave high-street shop.

Improvise

If you don’t have space for a cocktail cart, display your bottles on a stylish tray, or on the lower level of a side table.
