Graduation season is around the corner, and there's no better way to celebrate your college graduate's achievement than with a memorable party featuring a signature cocktail. At Shake Stir Serve, we know that a well-crafted drink can elevate any event, and we're here to guide you in picking the perfect one for your celebration!

1. Consider the Graduate’s Personality and Preferences

Your graduate is the star of the show, so their favorite flavors should take center stage. Do they love fruity and tropical vibes? A mango mojito or a pineapple basil cooler might be a hit. If they prefer something sophisticated, consider a classic like an Old Fashioned or a French 75.

2. Match the Theme of the Party

Is the party all glitz and glamour, a laid-back barbecue, or a quirky college-themed bash? The cocktail should fit right in. For a summer soirée, think refreshing spritzers or frozen cocktails. If it's a more formal event, opt for elegant choices like a sparkling champagne cocktail.

3. Keep Guests in Mind

While the signature cocktail can highlight the graduate's preferences, be sure to offer something versatile that your guests will enjoy as well. A customizable cocktail base, like a build-your-own margarita bar, could be a crowd-pleaser. Don’t forget to include a delicious mocktail version for non-drinkers.

4. Incorporate School Colors or Achievements

Celebrate school pride by incorporating the graduate’s college colors into the cocktail. For example, if their alma mater boasts blue and gold, a blueberry and lemon fizz might be just the thing. You could also name the drink after their degree or a favorite campus memory for a personal touch.
