Mad Hatter’s Cocktail Party
Halloween may be my favourite holiday, I absolutely love the surreal sense of fun that it engenders. My friend asked me to help organize a Halloween party for his work. This is the fun bit, he works for a graphic design team and they have their very own machine that does large format printing. I was completely inspired to play with scale and size to create optical illusions for a Mad Hatter’s Cocktail Party. I chose drinks that involved optical illusions and then did massive posters to hang on the walls and tiny menus to put in people’s pockets.
You can embrace the idea of crazy colours and optical illusions. You can pre freeze cocktail glasses in the freezer with a layer of either a coloured mixer like a dark red cherry juice or a white cream. You can empty a gallon jug, put inside a bottle of your favourite hard core tipple, then add a layer of water and flowers at the bottom, allow it to freeze, add a layer of coloured juice, allow it to freeze and then finally another layer of coloured juice. You will end up with these perfectly chilled drinks covered in completely crazy coloured ice sculpture
One option is to go for cocktails that look like tea, such as the Madhatter in the video above. You could also do a long island ice tea which has:
- 1 part vodka
- 1 part rum
- 1 part gin
- 1 part tequila
- 1 part triple sec
- top up with sweet and sour mix and coco cola
Then serve your cocktails up in the craziest tea pots and tea cups that you can possibly find. If you want to be a bit more traditional you can actually make real tea and serve it with some of these lovely boozy suggestions:
- Vodka and orange slices in black tea
- Baileys Irish Cream in English or Irish Breakfast Tea
