Quenching your customers’ thirst has never been so fabulous!
Whether you’re going all out with your buffet, or simply organizing a beverage station as a perk for your soon-to-be satisfied customers, you’re probably thinking about how you’ll design your station to shine. The more aesthetically pleasing your beverage station is, the more attention and use it will draw.
To help you set up your beverage station for success and to encourage your customers to serve themselves, while still feeling like they’re getting the 5-star bar treatment, we’ve curated a list of some of the most exciting, creative beverage station design ideas out there. You’re welcome.
Craft beer station
Your customers will feel grown up – and a little risque, when serving themselves from craft beer taps. Mount your taps on a cork or wooden backdrop, and creatively scrawl each brew’s name in paint or marker, to give off a fun, informal feel. Ideal for hoe-downs, game nights, club lounges, bachelor parties and other grown-up events.
Cookies and milk station
Nothing says comfort quite like cookies and milk, making it the ideal beverage-snack duo for any event. From brunches, hotel breakfast buffets and baby/bridal showers, to kiddie parties, community events and more, a cool glass of milk and a soft or crunchy cookie can pretty much secure your catered event’s success. Serve several types of milk in jugs placed in ice coolers, with cookies displayed in baked goods cases to preserve their freshness.
Step-by-step beverage station
Get your customers actively involved in their beverage preparation by creating a simple, easy-to-follow prep process. For example: Step 1 – grab a pre-garnished glass; Step 2 – fill with ice; Step 3 – select your favorite beverage from the row of transparent, clearly marked beverage dispensers; Step 4 – whet your whistle. Works great with cocktails, mocktails, fruit smoothies and milkshakes.
Old fashioned lemonade and ice tea station
There’s something so refreshing about sipping lemonade or ice tea on a warm day. And the sweet and tangy flavors are beloved by people of all ages. That’s why filling your beverage dispensers with these two drinks is ideal for your outdoor garden party, classy morning or afternoon event, or even a snazzy partner to a late night dessert. You can decorate your beverage station with old fashioned tchotchkes or floral arrangements, to add an air of femininity and class. Be sure to properly label your drinks, to avoid lemonade being confused for lemon ice tea.
Rainbow beverage station
Want to inject some serious color into your display? Try putting out a row of fresh fruit juices, lined up according to their coloring, and paired with a bowl of similarly colored cut up or bite-sized fruits. Your customers will be able to see, smell, taste and experience one magically delicious and nutritious rainbow at your next event.
Fruit water station
What’s healthier, tastier and more aesthetically pleasing than water? Fruit water – water infused with the flavors, aromas and nutrients of freshly sliced fruit (herbs and cucumbers also work well). Add some colorful slices of lemon, lime, berries or other treats to your clear beverage dispensers and watch your customers go ga-ga for good old H2O.
