Entertaining properly requires some flair. For your next gathering, consider dispensing with the full bar (beer, wine, liquor, mixers, garnishes, etc.), and prepare a signature drink instead. This will do several things for your party-throwing cred. First, your drink helps set the tone for your affair: casual, formal, or themed. Secondly, a novel beverage establishes you as an ahead-of-the-curve host who curates cocktails as carefully as you curate a guest list. And finally, especially if you give one of these gorgeous fall cocktails a whirl, you'll be known as an entertaining innovator who introduced new flavor combinations to your guests.
