What better way to kick off the holiday season than with a little bar cart hop!? I’ve teamed up with some of my favorite bloggers to bring you a little holiday inspo! One of my favorite places to get inspiration is from these talented bloggers & I can’t even tell you how many fun decorating ideas and decor hacks I’ve learned from them! I’ll list everyone at the end so you can hop around and gather some of your own holiday inspo!
Pretty in Pink with a Pop of Plaid
This year I’m bringing back all of my blush, rose gold, & copper Christmas decor & I’m starting with my bar cart. By now you guys know I LOVE my bar cart & pretty much always have one ready for any occasion. I love being able to decorate it with the seasons & come up with fun drinks to serve! Plus I get to actually use all of my pretty barware I’m addicted to buying! Whenever I’m choosing a theme for the holidays or season I always start small with either a tray or in this case a bar cart and go from there. Consider it my visual mood board! Then I can kind of play with some of the items I have and see how they work together on a smaller scale without dragging the whole decor closet (garage) out! So this year you’ll see a lot of my previous decor and all I’ve added in are my dark green ornaments and some plaid green ribbon!
And you know how I love an excuse to use my pretty barware, well this decanter is my absolute favorite!! It’s from The Crystal Wonderland, which is where I get most of my gorgeous crystal you see in my home! The shop is a family owned business and they have the most beautiful collections I’ve ever seen.
Isn’t she a beaut!?!? OBSESSED!
Signature Drinks
One way I love to keep entertaining simple during the holidays is to come up with a few signature drinks & then always keep those ingredients on hand to put together an entertaining evening or party on the fly! This year I’ve chosen, an Old Fashioned, Rosé, & Spiked Egg Nog! The little Old Fashioned mixer you see on my cart is a steal from Target and makes 16 cocktails! All you need is whiskey and ice! I told you my recipes would be simple! Hosting during the holidays can get hectic so having some things already pre-planned makes life SO much easier! Here is the super easy Old Fashioned recipe & it’s also printed on the side of the bottle from Target!
- 1 Part Old Fashioned Syrup
- 3 Parts Whiskey
- Ice
- Orange (optional)
- Bourbon Cherries or Maraschino Cherries (optional)
- Pour over ice. Garnish with cherry & an orange twist.
Rosé is always a go-to for any holiday in my opinion & as for the spiked eggnog, well all you need is eggnog with a splash of whipped vodka! It is DELISH!! I stored both of those on the bottom tier along with any bar utensils you may need, wine glasses, & the cutest little ice bucket!
Cheers Friends!!
