A warm-drinks welcome Ceramic mugs, a lidded insulated serving pot and a small tray of citrus and spice make an indoor warm-drinks station. What I want to borrow: A warm nonalcoholic welcome can give guests something to hold while they settle into a cool-weather celebration. Adaptation to discuss: Offer one warm drink and ordinary drinking water. Staff service can be simpler than asking guests to manage a heavy hot vessel. Questions for our supplier: • Who pours hot drinks and keeps the station supervised? • What ingredients and alternative drinks will be available? • Where can used mugs be returned without crossing the service queue? Scope to confirm: Drink recipe, cups, staffed service, water, power requirements and wash-up. Responsible people: Venue or caterer confirms equipment and hot-liquid service; guests are not asked to move the pot. Before confirming: Keep electrical equipment and hot surfaces within the venue’s approved service arrangement. Working example (replace with actuals): An indoor arrival station needs a return point for mugs, not just a display of clean cups. Reference: https://weddingideasnow.com/ideas/drinks-winter-warmers/

Three concepts vary in color, garnish and glass shape: a green cooler, a berry fizz and an amber citrus drink.

The bar counter handles prepared drinks while a nearby water point gives guests another place to help themselves.
