Whilst putting together a proposal for a summer party in London for a client (which is going to be held on a beautiful Thames Sailing Barge moored in St Katharine Docks – the perfect place for a summer party!) I had an interesting conversation with a supplier about which cocktails would be good for an event for 60 guests who would be predominantly male.  I had initially forgotten to mention this fact and the supplier had advised that the clients could choose from cocktails such as Cosmopolitans, Raspberry Mules and Strawberry Dacquiri’s for their Cocktail Making Event and I then wondered whether these would  go down well on the night? 

We then discussed taking out the fruity bits and providing just plain Dacquiri’s and Mules, as opposed to ones containing strawberry and raspberry, and going for cocktails swimming in spirits such as tequila – Margarita’s for example….a much more manly cocktail!

However, our MD eats so much fruit every day, so why would he dislike a cocktail containing his favourite fruit? Margarita is also my favourite cocktail and I am a girly girl… I think this is more complicated than I originally thought!
