Looking for a cooler, more convenient and stylish way to drink alcohol? We have found the Most Trendy Alcohol Ideas of 2022, that will be sure to fuel you and your friends at any event.

Cocktails are trending straight through into 2022, so we looked at what exactly that means for any party host looking to cater for an alcoholic affair. We have some interesting information, recipes, and tips we found along the way to share with you below.

Pitchers are Back

Yes, you heard it. Pitchers are back and they are better than ever. Right now, cocktails are back at the top of the popularity charts, and party hosts are creating batches of booze-filled punch to entertain their crowds. Everyone loves the idea of a tropical burst of flavors and freshness when engaging in a fiesta, not to mention pouring it from a pitcher straight into a cup with the hard work already done for you. By pre-making batches of cocktails, you simply save money, time, and a lot of work, leaving you able to enjoy your party.

Punch is Perfect

If you’re not focusing on being fancy, but you want to get the booze flowing, punch is the smartest move. It’s also not a particular cocktail recipe, so you can play around a little with the ratios and ingredients. Just choose your favorite juice, add sugar syrup and alcohol, it’s that easy. The common rule of pouring is two parts alcohol to three parts punch.

It’s also important to decide the right bowl for your guests to congregate comfortably around and serve themselves. Maybe add some snacks to keep them even more satisfied. When serving punch in a large bowl or pitcher, use larger blocks or rings of ice. This is especially essential if your punch will sit out for an extended period of time. The block will melt slowly, keeping the punch chilled without diluting it too quickly.

Whatever you present to your guests, remember that a punch bowl is a great ice-breaker for less familiar guests to engage with each other, doubling up as a fantastic tool for networking and communication.
