Your attendees have a jam-packed day ahead of them full of meetings, speakers, and discussions. With all the busyness of the day, they will certainly need to relax, recharge their batteries, and refocus. How better to enter a favorable state of mind than with a cocktail? We suggest these 3 key ingredients to create an unique cocktail to get into the right mood:
Filled with potassium and natural sugars, the banana is the ideal cocktail ingredient to enhance the attention span and focus of attendees. A creamy Banana Daquiri, rum-free obviously, is a wonderful pre-meeting drink to serve your guests. To make this sweet and velvety cocktail, blend together a banana, lime juice, orange juice, ice and coconut milk. For an extra kick, add 1 teaspoon of any of these subtle spices: ground ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg. Your attendees won’t miss a thing!
After a long, dense session, attendees will want to recharge their minds and prepare for upcoming sessions. There is nothing better for this than a cocktail with coffee or tea! Surprise guests with a delicious Green Tea Mojito, which features hints of citrus, mint leaves, half a lime, and a spoonful of cane sugar, all served on crushed ice. For an oriental touch, switch the lime for aromatic Japanese yuzu fruit. This zesty drink will absolutely inspire and activate your attendees.
Okay, so this drink is not really a cocktail, but a smoothie! It is the exotic Indian Lassi, a creamy, yogurt-based drink that is the perfect way for guests to relax after a long day of meetings. The Lassi is known for its cooling effects, which will help attendees release tension, create an interesting environment and encourage networking. To concoct this smoothie, combine 2 cups cold plain yogurt with 1 cup chilled sparkling water. Add cinnamon, ginger and cardamom powder to boost the flavor. Simple yet yummy! For a fruity flair, add mango and honey. A true delight that will also work as an appetite inducer before a stunning temping break is served.
