Signature drinks have been common at events for some time.
Making these with your non-alcohol drinking guests in mind is
a wise move. Whether you make them ahead of time, at your
bar or have a self-serve area with directions, ensure that if the
mocktail and cocktail options are similar, take care to have
different garnishes for each or serve in two different styles of
glassware. This way, as your guests mingle there is little risk of
confusing the two options.

Two options –
one inspiration:
The mid-2000s were the years of drink tags and wine charms.
They were everywhere and in every shape — for good reason.
At home parties, it's easy to mix up your glass. And while there is
no issue with your partner sharing your Chardonnay, there can be
an issue if a non-drinker picks up the wrong glass.

Bring on the drink
tags and markers:
TIP: Make it fun — choose cute tags or go full
artist with a glass marker. Writing a nickname
or picture can be a fun icebreaker too!
