If you’ve seen some of the parties I’ve styled before, it’s probably no surprise that I love a little sparkle, a dash of citrus, and a great signature drink! So when BACARDI® Mixers offered to have their mixologists create a personalized signature drink for me recently, how could I not accept, right!? ;)

They sent over some questions regarding taste and party style, and said they’d develop the drink recipe based on my answers. I really didn’t know what to expect at that point, but ended up LOVING the drink recipe they sent over, right down to it’s name: the “Glitz Spritzer“! It’s fruity, refreshing, and easy to whip up for a crowd.

Pink & Gold Cocktail Party

Now it was my turn to do the creating, so I dreamed up a playful little after-work cocktail party for the girls at HWTM, designed to match this fun new signature drink from BACARDI® Mixers! Inspired by the bright pink hue, fruit flavors and sparkling bubbles in the recipe, I decided to go for a look that was glitzy & pink with a citrus splash… perfect for a everything from a girlie birthday celebration to a casual summer get-together with friends. Glitz Spritzers with festive drink flags, a few pieces of sparkly decor, and simple appetizers were all that I needed for this fun & easy party. I’m already planning to use this theme again for a party next month!
