Choosing Cups for a New Year's Eve Party

Video Transcript

"Three, two, one, Happy New Year. On behalf of Expert Village, my name's Matt Cail and I'm going to show you how to throw a New Year's Eve party. As drinks are one of the center pieces of your party, it's very important in terms of what you're going to serve them in. Yes, it's great to have paper plates, napkin, or you can also even use, you know, paper towels, if you don't want to go through tons of napkins too, although napkins are often more economic, but none of that is as important as making sure your guests something good to drink out of be it alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. So, let's kind of cover the gamut here. First off you can kind of go more like the low end which is like either the cheaper plastic or paper cups. These are good, often times they are very resilient, you don't have to worry about them breaking or shattering if somebody drops them. At the same time, if you're going to go in for a little more class and pizzazz for your party, well you kind of see how they look. So, if you want to go for a little more class, you can consider having more in the way of stemware glassware. Now, there's kind of like different levels of doing this. The first thing is I've seen people that put glasses out, hey it's glass, it's good, we're cool, it's great, we've even got some wine glasses, wow. Now, that's kind of cool, that'll get you through wine, you can put the mixed drinks in, you know, the rest of your other glasses, but if you really want to like, you know, take it up a notch, you can consider having more specialty glasses. For example, you know this glass for either like a martini or a margarita. You have, you know, the base then flails outward and this is a definite shaped glass, which is intended for different types of drinks. You'll find a lot of these out there. You have red wine glasses, you have white wine glasses, you'll have different types of mixed drink glasses, so if you really want to go down that route, consider it. You look at a lot of stemware stores you'll be able to find a wealth of information, so if you really want to go for more of like the high culture, flutie-booty, definitely think of having specialty glasses for your drinks."
