How to organise the perfect Home Cocktail Party?

Well, well, well.
The time is coming. What for? Haven’t I told you?

So, tonight I will have a cocktail party. The husband’s workmates are going to come to our house to have discussions and share cocktails.

It sounds good. I’m glad to host such kind of party. Let’s have fun my dears.
Actually, I’m a good hostess. I always take care of my guests, that’s why I prefer to prepare everything in advance.

So, what do I have? The house is clean. Moreover I have improvised a bar in the living room. The guests will serve each other with drinks. What kind of drink? We will serve cocktails, martinis and wine.

I have prepared also finger foods which suits perfectly for a cocktail party. I have arranged them on several platters and have put them near the bar.
The house is full of smell. The smell is different: from food to alcohol. But, there is no time for complaints.

Well, I will tell you about the cocktail. It will be trendy. It will consist of 4 basic liquors: vodka, rum, scotch and gin. I will add also orange juice, coke, sparkling water and soda. I haven’t forgotten about olives for martinis. They are in the fridge already, waiting their appearance.

Wait, wait… How about the ice? I have a lot. I expect that the cocktail party will be very hot.

I doubt that my guests will not be surprised.

I have a problem. I can’t find a calm music which will not disturb the conversation between the guests. I think about “Sade” but I’m not sure. As you know calm music contains tension, maybe I will choose a calm one.

I will phone my husband and I will consult him. It’s a good idea. He knows his workmates better than me.

Time runs fast. I’m hearing even the voices of first guests. They are outside the door. They are tooting the ringer.

I put off the apron and go to the door. I open it and my smile welcomes them. Sara and Ben. They are always punctual.

“Hi, my dears. Welcome to my house”
