Words to take to your supplier
An alcohol-free trio with distinct flavors Three concepts vary in color, garnish and glass shape: a green cooler, a berry fizz and an amber citrus drink. What I want to borrow: A small deliberate alcohol-free selection feels considered when the drinks have clearly different flavor directions. Matching glass quality and presentation gives the choices equal attention. Adaptation to discuss: Use the linked drink guide to build actual recipes and communicate ingredients. Confirm any syrups, bitters or other ingredients meet the alcohol-free requirement you intend; appearance cannot establish contents. Questions for our supplier: • Are the three drinks distinct in sweetness and acidity? • Which ingredients require an alcohol-content check? • Can the bar prepare the drinks at the expected order rate? Scope to confirm: Three clearly distinguished alcohol-free drinks, water and service vessels. Responsible people: Catering or bar service lead; confirm staffing, stock and collection in writing. Before confirming: Agree ingredients, adult-style presentation, replenishment and who handles dietary or alcohol-content questions. Working example (replace with actuals): List each drink, serving window and replenishment owner. Let the actual provider confirm quantities, ingredients and service requirements.
