Single Serve or Pitcher?
Whether you’re outside in a group or inside at a small table one of the best ways to share a BBQ cocktail is to use a pitcher.
If there are a few people it makes it easy to get every drink at the same time. You can also all have the same experience at the same time which allows for great conversation.
It’s easy to make pitchers look great too. A few slices of fresh fruit can make a cocktail pitcher come to life.
The best way to serve the cocktail pitcher is to add the ‘soda’ element at the end to reduce watering down the drink and letting it melt too quickly.
