Make Your Party Special with the Perfect Liquor

Cocktails are often a significant part of a get-together. However, there are different liquor choices that go best with a certain type of party. If you've got a special occasion coming up, Joe Canal’s of Lawrenceville, NJ can help you find the right liquor for the celebration.

Work Party

If your boss has invited you to a small gathering to celebrate a holiday or professional milestone, it's best to bring a bottle of quality wine to the party. If your workplace has a casual atmosphere or you've grown to have a friendly rapport with your boss, you can bring craft beer to the celebration since this is considered a step up from the beer you'd purchase at your local convenience store.

These alcohol choices are a safe bet for work parties since most people can enjoy them in moderation without becoming too intoxicated. Wine is also considered an acceptable gift for showing the party host that you appreciate their hospitality.

Housewarming/New Baby

If you're going to a friend's house for a housewarming celebration or to meet their new bundle of joy, it's perfectly fine to team up with some of your other friends and buy a large bottle of quality vodka or tequila. Even though this is an intimate gathering, it's a time of celebration, and your friend is likely excited about their new home or new addition to the family. If you're the party host, you can create a signature cocktail featuring the guest of honor's favorite ingredients, like pineapple margaritas if pineapples are their favorite fruit. Or, you can create pink or blue cocktails to celebrate the birth of the baby. If you're bringing liquor to a party celebrating the birth of a child, you may want to bring a casserole as well to save the parents a night or two of making dinner.

Christmas Party

A Christmas party with colleagues calls for a vintage bottle of wine. You can even bring wine that was bottled the year the company was established to get extra points with your boss. A red wine is seasonally appropriate, but you can bring white or sparkling wine if there will be an array of desserts at the party. For a holiday celebration with family and friends, bring high-quality vodka; it's the perfect ingredient for making White Christmas or cranberry martinis to make the season a little brighter.

Cinco de Mayo/Backyard Party

Cinco de Mayo takes place in the spring when the weather is warming up, which means you could have your party indoors or outside. Tequila is the natural choice for a Cinco de Mayo celebration since it is the liquor most often associated with Mexico. Tequila is also a great choice for an outdoor party if your guests love margaritas. However, you can select vodka as well if you're going to make a citrus-based punch for everyone to enjoy.

Birthday Party

If you're planning a birthday party for a friend or loved one or you've been invited to a birthday celebration, think about the time of year, such as rum for the fall or winter to make a warm, hearty cider.

You may also want to think about the theme of the birthday party. If the theme is summer fun, bring along some tequila to make tequila sunrises or stick with rum for refreshing mojitos. It's also best to think about the guest of honor's personality when choosing the right alcoholic beverage to bring to the birthday party. If your friend is especially sophisticated, champagne may be a suitable choice since it goes great with cake or cupcakes.
