Coffee and hot Chocolate Must-Haves!
- Hot Coffee – you can serve it out of a carafe like this one, and not worry about if it stays hot! It will! Make sure it’s strong coffee!
- Hot Milk & Cold Milk – you’re extra, so go over the top with both temperatures of milk!
- Ice Cubes – This is great for iced drinks, but also if you have kiddos making their own drinks. You could also put out vanilla ice cream! Just to be super fancy!
- Almond Milk – for dairy-free people!
You’ll also want to keep a cocktail shaker and extra martini glasses on deck! I love having these glass mugs out too, they’re so festive. Inside my Amazon Storefront, you’ll find other options for a fancy martini glass, perfect for your friend who likes to be *extra!*
