SPONSORED | Influencers share their summer party planning tips
Tristian, who as an interior architect has created some of SA's most impressive spaces, counters that there'll be little need for additional décor if you find the right venue serving the right cuisine.Now that you have the venue, guest list and décor sorted, it’s time to plan the food. While all three influencers suggest having the occasion catered, their individual tastes come through in their recommended menu choices.
Fhatuwani would keep things simple with wraps and kebabs, while Tristan would opt for light, healthy and tasty Asian-inspired fare. Melody is a fan of keeping her guests comfortable by serving “easy food” that people enjoy, will immediately recognise and that isn't overly complicated.When it comes to drinks, all three influencers agree that Courvoisier’s Gala and French Twist cocktails should take centre stage.
Fhatuwani and Melody favour The Gala. A twist on a 1950s classic, this drink is a zesty mix of Courvoisier VSOP or VS Cognac and citrus tonic, served long over ice. If you don’t have citrus tonic, use Indian tonic and add grape fruit juice to taste. Courvoisier pairs perfectly with anything citrus.Courvoisier Gala. Picture: SUPPLIED/COURVOISIER
Tristan’s choice is the French Twist, which is part Courvoisier VSOP Cognac and part Orange Curaçao or Triple Sec, syrup and lemon juice. Strained over crushed ice and lengthened with club soda, this cocktail is garnished with lemon and raspberries.No party is complete without some great music.
