Because my bar cart vignettes have been so fun to set-up and serve guests, I wanted todo “his” and “hers” Thanksgiving cocktail stories today and tomorrow to inspire you for your upcoming Holiday entertaining!
Today is geared towards the gals {for those of you hosting a “Friendsgiving” this is a great one to whip up!}. It is light and refreshing, leaving you plenty of room for all that turkey and stuffing! Plus I love to drink champagne on pretty much every holiday as a little celebration, and the elderflower liqueur makes it feel perfectly festive. Then paired back to chic and sleek decor on a bar cart, it is elegant enough to place right alongside your Thanksgiving or dessert table!
Today make the presentation a bit more elegant I used my new gorgeous gold-rimmed wine glasses by Mark & Graham which have a “G” engraved for my last name. I also used my monogramed ice bucket from Mark & Graham which say “FH” and comes with an ice scoop. I always like to leave extra champagne on ice for guests to help themselves {here I chose Le Grand Courtage Champagne, which is the prettiest white bottle}.
I complimented my cocktails with white and gold details from fresh white peonies, to a sweet pumpkin that says “Give Thanks” from LHCalligraphy, a beautiful futura vase, and cheers coasters {shop the full look below!}.
