Tips for hosting with colored drinks

• Use clear glasses: Transparent serveware shows colors best and delivers the visual surprise.
• Test recipes ahead: Some ingredients (butterfly pea, lemon, dairy) react unexpectedly; trial runs avoid surprises.
• Label alternatives: Offer non-colored alternatives clearly so guests with dietary needs can choose easily.
• Consider edible decorations: Rim salts, sugared rims, or floating fruit slices enhance presentation.
• Timing is everything: Prepare neutral-looking bases and add the reveal ingredient or syrup at the exact moment.
