Tips for Serving
Serving drinks at kids’ parties can be a fun and creative task. Here are some general tips to keep in mind:
- Variety: Offer a variety of drinks to cater to different tastes. This could include a mix of fruit juices, water, milk, and flavored drinks.
- Healthy Options: While kids might gravitate towards sugary drinks, it’s important to provide healthier options too. Consider serving water infused with fruits, homemade smoothies, or freshly squeezed juices.
- Allergies and Dietary Restrictions: Be aware of any allergies or dietary restrictions. For example, some children might be lactose intolerant or allergic to certain fruits. Always have an alternative available.
- Portion Sizes: Kids don’t need adult-sized servings. Smaller cups can help to reduce spills and waste.
- Self-Serve Stations: Depending on the age of the children, consider setting up a self-serve station where kids can choose their own drinks. This can also include a place where they can add their own ice or garnishes.
- Keep Drinks Cold: If the party is outdoors or on a hot day, make sure to keep the drinks cold. You can use ice buckets, coolers, or just keep refilling from the fridge.
- Hydration: If the party involves a lot of physical activities, make sure water is readily available to keep the kids hydrated.
- Preparation: Prepare as much as you can in advance to reduce stress on the day of the party. Many drinks can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
Remember, the goal is to keep the kids happy and hydrated while also making the drinks part of the fun of the party.
