If you’re looking to add a touch of sophistication and a dash of sparkle to your next event, look no further than one of the most visually stunning and celebratory features you can include: a drink tower!
Why a Drink Tower?!
A drink tower is not just a means to serve your beverages; it’s a central showpiece that elevates the ambiance of your gathering. It’s a symbol of luxury, opulence, and celebration, perfect for weddings, anniversaries, galas, and any event where you want to make a statement. Not only does it provide an interactive experience for your guests, but it also serves as a fantastic photo opportunity, ensuring your event is remembered and talked about long after the last glass is poured.
Building Your Drink Tower: Step-by-Step
Toast to Success: Gather your guests around the tower, raise a toast to the night’s celebration, and enjoy!
Select the Right Glassware: A traditional drink/beverage tower is built with coupe glasses, which have a broad, shallow bowl. Check out our recommendations below for the perfect selection of glasses that not only look stunning but are designed to interlock for a stable tower.
Prepare Your Base: On a sturdy table, lay a white linen tablecloth for a classic look. Or…a mirror under the tower reflects the glasses beautifully! But the most important aspect for the base is that it must be able to withstand spills.
Start with a square formation of glasses at the base—this number will determine the tower’s height and width.
Layer with Care: Place the next layer of glasses centered over the four corners of the base layer glasses. Continue layering in this manner, reducing the number of glasses by one each time until you reach the top with a single glass.
Secure the Structure: Ensure each glass lightly touches the surrounding glasses. The rims should also be clean to prevent any sticking.
Pour with Precision: Begin pouring your drink of choice into the top glass and watch as it cascades down the layers, filling each glass below. Pour steadily and slowly to prevent spills and overflowing.
