How To Diagram A Winning Beverage Station
Avoid a bottle neck with these simple tips. Follow my tips to pull it off.
The Technique
Create a space on the deck or in one area of your tent specifically for ice cold beverages. Beverage carts, wagons & potting benches make wonderful options. Ice down drinks in party tubs or pull out the wheelbarrow for a bit of backyard charm. Organize plastic cups, tumblers & melamine glasses on trays for easy access. Have a separate ice bucket with a lid for fresh ice to cool down refreshments.
