Must Have Refreshments for Your Dinner Party

by Kevin Smith Author

When planning a dinner party, don’t forget about the most important part: the refreshments. You want everyone at your party to have a good time, while preventing a situation where someone ends up crashing on your couch. As the host, it is your job to set the tone of the evening by offering fun, exciting drinks, and avoiding a large abundance of cheap alcohol that will remind your guests of their college years. No matter the taste, keep a couple things in mind when you find a local liquor store in Gainesville, GA, to purchase the following. 

Beer

There is a lot of beer out there to choose from, and when buying for others the tendency may be towards the bland, light beers that have been around forever. Avoid these beers. Instead, go for mix and match packs that allow you to purchase a variety of different kinds. Often the uniqueness of the beer can become a topic of conversation, and sharing your favorites with your friends can bring you closer together. If people are coming from out of town, purchase local beer to give them a taste of the area.

Wine

Though you should avoid cheap wine that will lead to headaches, you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a decent bottle. Wine is a great drink to have during dinner, so match the style of wine with the meal. For red sauces or steak, try dry red wines, and for fish or creamy sauces, choose a white wine. Though it is always useful to have both a red and white option on hand, as well as both a dry and sweet option. 

Liquor

Similarly to wine, avoid cheap liquor that will not only taste bad but will lead to hangovers. You want your guests to have fond memories of your party, not be hurting from the evening. Consider having one or two higher end options that can be taken out after dinner, or mixed with chasers before the meal.

Non-Alcoholic

Don’t let anyone feel left out by not having a variety of non-alcoholic beverages. If you know some of your guests don’t drink alcohol, or are pregnant, you can show consideration by asking in advance what their drink of choice is. A few sodas are great to have around, but specialty virgin cocktails will get your non-alcoholic drinkers to feel they are part of the fun. Club soda mixed with juices and lime is an easy favorite, as well as a virgin bloody mary with a non-alcoholic beer chaser.

When stocking up for your next dinner party, make sure to find a local liquor store in Gainesville, GAIf you run into problems or have questions, many stores will help you make decisions and point you in the right direction.
