Birthday Party Cocktails: Smoke, Mint and Non-Stop Vibes

The best drinks, the best crew, and non-stop vibes. This birthday asked for a bit of theatre, so the signature drinks came out under a cloud of smoke, next to a sharp green cocktail finished with mint. Guests queued for the show as much as the drink.

A menu with a show in it

Smoked cocktails, flaming garnishes and layered pours give a party a moment people film and share. Our bartenders pick the effects that suit the drink, so the theatre never gets in the way of the taste. It all comes from our cocktail catering set-up.

We bring the party to you

A birthday at home or in a hired space means the host usually ends up behind the bar. With a birthday bar hire the host stays with the guests: we bring the bar, the stock, the ice and the people to run it.

What birthday bar hire includes

• Bartenders who are RSA-certified, with a liquor licence and public liability insurance
• All stock, mixers, ice, glassware and bar tools; the branded physical bar is optional
• Arrival one to two hours before service for set-up and styling
• Pack-down, cleaning and responsible handling of beverage waste

Planning a birthday menu

Three to five cocktails, a beer and wine selection and a mocktail or two cover most parties. Smoked and layered drinks are the showpieces, so give them their own moment on the menu. For a milestone birthday at home, a bar set-up in the backyard or garage keeps the kitchen clear and the host out from behind the counter.

Questions people ask

Can you cater a small party? Yes, from intimate backyard gatherings to large celebrations.

What about guests who don't drink? Every menu carries mocktails and alcohol-free options, made with the same care as the cocktails.

How is it priced? By the drink selection, the hours of service and the set-up. Pay-per-cocktail, bottomless and pre-purchased drink counts are all available, and the quote is transparent.
