Mixology Secrets

Professionals say that today the actual concept of the bar is based on homemade preparations - purees, tinctures, syrups. At home, when making cocktails, you can also use purchased syrups, but they must be of very good quality and rich taste. All the necessary ingredients, including tinctures, can still be prepared. For example, all tinctures on vodka, grappa, chacha or other strong drinks should be kept for about 3-4 days - on herbs, vanilla, citrus fruits; a week - on berries and fruits; two weeks - on pepper, ginger and cinnamon.
To make ice, which is used in most cocktails, it is better to use lightly mineralized or simply purified water. It should be completely transparent and without aftertaste.

There is such an event as a cocktail party. It is most often scheduled for five o'clock in the evening and lasts about four hours. Such a meeting, unlike real celebrations, has much less festive characteristics. The modern dress code of such parties for both women and men requires knowledge of some rules for the selection of clothes and accessories.

Very often, various presentations or exhibitions are held under the guise of cocktail meetings in our time. And in invitations to events of this kind, the concept of "dress code "Cocktail" is indicated.

"Cocktail" rules

Such a dress code includes certain requirements that must be observed by both men and women. If we take into account men, they are recommended to wear classic suits in exclusively dark shades.

The most popular are blue and black suits. You can wear brightly colored ties. Women need to come to such events in special cocktail dresses.

Types of similar events

Currently, there are three types of cocktail parties - business, classic and secular. And for each of them there is a dress code "Cocktail". First, let's talk about business-style parties.

These include various corporate evenings, which are usually intended for or discussion of business between business partners. Most often they are held within the walls of an excellent restaurant. At the same time, it is necessary to adhere to special strictness in your clothes.

The dress code "Cocktail" for women determines attending a party in a dress that is made in a simple style, without a deep neckline and below the knee. The color of clothing should be calm tones - beige, gray, black, it is better to avoid large patterns or sharp contrasts. With all this, a woman should not have bright and catchy jewelry. An exception may be a modest bracelet, neat earrings, a thin gold chain.

Shoes should also be strict style. A great example would be closed-type boats, made in the classic version. Shoes can be low or medium heels, stilettos are best avoided, platform or sports shoes are unacceptable.

Classic variant

An equally serious party is an event that is arranged in. Usually it is scheduled for eight to nine o'clock in the evening. In this case, the dress code "Cocktail" is presented in a more casual form. Open shoulder colors are allowed.

As for their length, it can be about ten centimeters above the knees, how much lower - at the discretion of the lady. Open shoes or attractive sandals should be used as shoes for such events. At the same time, in addition to clothes, you can take bright jewelry in mostly light colors. A great option would be expensive jewelry or classic jewelry. However, for example, rings with large diamonds will be superfluous.

The "Cocktail" dress code for men at these parties suggests the same suit, but loose cut, no jacket, and more liberal shades of clothing are allowed. As jewelry, you can use a pocket square, cufflinks and a watch.

social event

The third type of modern fashionable cocktail parties are. For such events, clothes in the form of attractive dresses up to the middle of the female knee are allowed, although ankle-length outfits are also allowed. Various necklines and trains, jewelry are welcome.

As for men, their dress code at such events is lighter and is represented by a tie, a suit, or just trousers and a shirt.

If the cocktail party is not formal, then a simple "Cocktail" dress code is welcomed. A photo of the clothes is shown below. In such cases, the use of a jacket by men is allowed. But the choice should be stopped on a fashionable item of loose cut, so that the attire is not in a business style. A representative of the strong half of humanity can wear expensive accessories - cufflinks, watches, genuine leather belts. Although most of all a man is decorated with expensive and chic shoes.

How to behave at a cocktail party?

It must be remembered that it is far from clothes that make a person beautiful. The main principle is the correct conduct of the event in compliance with all the rules, as well as those present. At present, as in previous years, the true and sincere adornment of any person is a smile.

What you can do: talk in semitones, joke, laugh softly, treat yourself to drinks and snacks culturally, dance if it is planned by the owners.

What you can’t: shout, swear, laugh out loud, raise political, religious or racial issues in a conversation.

Principles of cocktail parties

In modern society, the dress code "Cocktail" has gained great popularity. Such evenings are a convenient way to hold other events designed to meet specific people in a relaxed format. Modern cocktail parties have a semi-formal feel. At the same time, various drinks and all sorts of light snacks are served on them.

Each party participant must be familiar with certain issues in advance: the time of the event, the place of its organization and the purpose of staying at the party.

Dress code "Cocktail" depending on the venue of the party

If an event of this format is held at home, for example, in connection with obtaining a new position, then a more relaxed style of clothing is allowed. If the celebration will take place in a fashionable and expensive restaurant, then it is necessary to use the Business Cocktail dress code, which is distinguished by rigor and elegance.

There is one more small feature that will allow a person to determine the level of officiality of the celebration - this is the very invitation to it. If it was done over the phone, then you can relax and put on a simpler outfit.

If the invitation was issued in the form of a postcard or letter and received officially, then the party will be held at a high level. In this case, clothing should be chosen with all responsibility.

How can a woman choose an outfit?

With the help of a dress, an image is created, beauty is emphasized and figure flaws are hidden. Therefore, it must be carefully selected according to its parameters so that the outfit is combined with hair, shoes, accessories. To emphasize the individuality of the guest and at the same time meet the basic requirements of the dress code: elegant cut, adequate length, small neckline, soft color schemes.

It is clear that the dress code for "Evening Cocktail" will be different from the dress code for the afternoon party.

Moreover, dresses are selected depending on age.

Up to 25 years old, in the presence of a slender figure, a length of about fifteen centimeters above the knee is acceptable. Bright colors and unusual cuts are welcome. It is undesirable to wear a lot of jewelry to the dress.

25 - 35 years - you can use a different range of styles and colors. It is better to refuse the short length of the dress (the exception is the ideal figure). You also need to carefully choose bright colors like pink, lemon, salad. They should only be worn if they match the skin color very well.

After 35, you should pay attention to the length of the dress so that it is below the knee. Instead of a fluffy skirt, it is best to use a more modest style.

Dress code "Cocktail" for women in winter is no different from other seasons. The only thing is that dresses need to be selected in such a way that they are combined with winter clothes. Better with long sleeves and knitted, made of fine woolen fabric.

The traditional color of the dress is black. Nevertheless, other shades can be used - beige, golden, dark blue. Pink, light green and lemon shades should be abandoned, as they will be out of place at a serious event.

The dress can be complemented with various accessories - handbags, watches, jewelry. Even the use of small discreet hats is allowed. Also, it is a good idea to use long gloves or a bolero.

In modern society, in order to invite guests, it is not necessary to seat them at a table loaded with dishes with salads and with a change of dishes (especially if there are many guests). Cocktail parties can be held as a semi-formal reception, for example, for pre- or post-wedding congratulations, or just hanging out with friends.
Throwing an unobtrusive cocktail party is easy, you just need to stock up on cocktails, snacks and glasses and you can have fun with friends. The main thing is to carefully plan the reception in order to relax with the guests.
