3 Ways to Set Up a Beverage Station at Your Next Shindig

Party planning? We put together three crowd-pleasing drink bars perfect for any occasion — a cozy coffee bar, refreshing agua fresca bar and chic mimosa bar.

A gorgeous gourmet coffee station stocked with all the fixings is sure to be a hit at your fall or winter gathering, especially when paired with a DIY donut display. Read on to learn everything you need to style the coziest coffee bar, then snag some of our favorite party favor pairings.

For our cold-weather party, we served our favorite hot brew in a 30-cup, insulated electric coffee urn. But if you and your crew are lovers of iced coffee, set up a dispenser of cold brew, an ice bucket and paper straws nearby. Designer tip: Keep extra coffee on hand for when the dispensers run low.

Coffee is great, but flavored coffee is even better. Set up a spread of sweet syrups, mocha sauce, cream and milk (including non-dairy varieties) so your guests can customize to their hearts' content.
