Top Tip No.1. Get Yourself The Mother of All Drinks Trolleys

At Rockett St George we think that drinks trolleys are a household essential!

Not just for Christmas, Drinks Trolleys can be repurposed throughout the year. So, as the name suggests fill it will drink and cocktail essentials! Alternatively, you can use it as an additional side table or surface in your living room. Place a lamp on top and fill the shelves with ornaments and plants. If your drinks trolley is found in the kitchen then it is most likely full to the brim with your favourite tipple. So, be sure to invest in one you will love for years to come.

For a Disco Diva Christmas and New Years Eve Party, there are a few easy things that you can do to repurpose your drinks trolley for the occasion.

  1. Move your trolley into a prime spot in your home at Christmas. Make sure it is accessible to all your guests by choosing your style spot. This may be in the kitchen, living room or dining room, but wherever you choose, create a party space for any potential guests to gather around.
  2. For New Year's Eve, having a drinks trolley means you have the perfect place to congregate when the bells chime for the New Year.  If you usually hang out in the Kitchen on New Years Eve then why not move your trolley into the kitchen? You can then be ready to be on hand to serve up your best boozy cocktails.
  3. Ultimately, however having a drinks trolley at your party means that guests, family and friends can help themselves to drinks leaving you more time to P.A.R.T.Y!

A New Years Eve Party wouldn't be complete without some delicious cocktails. As such, it's absolutely essential to stock up on plenty of barware, cocktail mixers, glasses and booze.

We love to create a make-shift bar on our drinks trolleys so here are our top ideas:
  1. Starting with the essentials, get your hands on some fabulous barware such as a quirky ice bucket, cocktail shaker plus bottle and wine openers. All of these pieces will add elegance and style to your drinks trolley whilst being fabulously functional.
  2. The glassware you display and present to guests at your party is imperative to a wonderful gathering. So, gloriously elegant or vintage in style, we have some glorious glassware choices for your party. Moreover, don't be afraid to mix and match your gorgeous glasses for a playful and eclectic look.
  3. Booze baby! Obviously, you can't forget the booze. Stockpile your favourite spirits and fizz and don't forget some non-alcoholic beverages for the non-drinkers. Sipsmith's does some lovely non-alcoholic liqueurs that taste just like the real deal.
