The Importance of Beverages at Events
When it comes to planning the perfect event, the food often takes center stage—but the beverages you serve are just as important. At Catering by John Lowe, we believe that the right drink selection elevates your event from good to unforgettable. Whether it’s a warm welcome with hot apple cider, a refreshing Brazilian Limonada on a summer afternoon, or a perfectly crafted Irish Coffee, beverages play a key role in setting the mood and adding a personalized touch.
Cheers! Staying on Trend
Specialty drinks are more than just refreshments—they’re an experience, and beverage trends are constantly evolving. From zero-proof cocktails to globally inspired refreshments, the right drink menu can transform your event into something truly unique. At Catering by John Lowe, we stay on top of the latest beverage trends to bring fresh, exciting options to your guests.
2025 Beverage Trends We Love
1. Zero-Proof Cocktails
Non-alcoholic cocktails are taking the spotlight this year. Gone are the days of simple soda water and juice. Instead, complex, beautifully crafted zero-proof cocktails are being served with as much care as their alcoholic counterparts. Options like our Irish Coffee (Non-Alcoholic) and Mulled Wine allow guests to enjoy rich, layered flavors without the alcohol.
2. Global Inspirations
Travel may be limited, but your taste buds don’t have to be. Globally inspired drinks are trending, with flavors from around the world making their way into local events. Our Brazilian Limonada and Orange Ginger Spritzer are perfect examples of refreshing beverages with a worldly twist.
3. Warm Comforts for Cold Weather
Hot drinks are becoming more than just a winter staple—they’re a mainstay for fall weddings and chilly spring evenings, too. Trendy options like Hot Buttered Rum (Non-Alcoholic) and Gingerbread Hot Chocolate are perfect for guests to sip while enjoying outdoor celebrations.
4. Mocktail to Cocktail Flexibility
Versatility is key for event planning, and offering the ability to upgrade a mocktail to a cocktail is a growing trend. At Catering by John Lowe, we make it easy for your guests to customize their drinks to their liking—whether it’s a touch of whiskey in their Pumpkin Spiced Latte or a splash of vodka in their Watermelon Raspberry Lemonade.
5. Fruit-Forward Refreshers
Fresh, fruit-based beverages are everywhere this year, celebrated for their bright flavors and beautiful presentation. Our Strawberry Mango Lemonade and Liquid Poached Pear are perfect examples of how vibrant ingredients can enhance both taste and aesthetics.
