Colleagues and Cocktails: What to Drink at Happy Hour

The after-work happy hour usually ends a day that went something like this: You had a cup of coffee on the way to work, stuffed your face with a mini-muffin before the morning status meeting, barely touched your lunch because you were talking up a potential client, and grabbed a handful of peanuts from the conference room before heading to the bar. By the time the waiter comes to take your cocktail order, you've had a grand total of 35 calories the entire day.

Or, even if you were able to get in two square meals, the happy hour precedes a long night of work as you empty your inbox and prepare for tomorrow's board meeting.

The point is this: You’re not in college anymore , and you may need to re-think your drink of choice. You should look for a drink that is delicious, won't get you instantly hammered, is not a beer (stress + empty stomach + beer = increased chance of belching in boss's face mid-sentence), and isn't something you would normally imbibe at a bachelorette party.

Need ideas? Try one of these:

Classic Go-To Cocktails

What it says about you: I'm sophisticated, and I'm probably wearing white and don't want to risk staining my blouse with something colorful.

Vodka Soda with a Splash of Cranberry

What it says about you: Hey, I like a little fruitiness, and that’s okay. I may put a Splenda in this drink when you're not looking. Deal with it.

(Variation: For something a little sweeter try a flavored vodka like Absolut like Citron or Raspberry)

Greyhound (Vodka and Grapefruit juice)

What it says about you: I have enough mental capacity to remember the name of a drink that has nothing to do with its actual ingredients. I've been here before. I enjoy a cocktail, but I'm not a lush.

What it says about you: I am a responsible person and will be driving myself home later, thus I am choosing a cocktail with a mild liqueur and a non-alcoholic mix.

Trendy Go-To Cocktails

What it says about you: Sex and the City and the Cosmopolitan are so seven years ago, and don't I know it. I'm not afraid to hold something that comes with a cherry garnish, but I'm not going to order a daiquiri and sip it through a two foot straw on Girls Gone Wild.

Anything with an Unexpected Plant Ingredient, Like Basil or Cucumber

What it says about you: I'm adventurous and assertive, and I demand that my traditionally feminine cocktail has a forward-thinking twist. Muddle, bartender, muddle!

Example: Tom Collins (Gin, Lemon Juice, Soda, Sugar)

What it says about you: I watch Mad Men. In a past life I may have operated a speakeasy, which accounts for my entrepreneurial spirit .

Cocktails to Avoid

Cocktails Named After Body Parts: Fuzzy Navel, Buttery Nipple

Cocktails that Reference Sex or Unsavory Historical Events: Sex on the Beach, Slow Comfortable Screw, Irish Car Bomb, Kamikaze

Cocktails that Destroyed You in College: Long Island Iced Tea, Mind Eraser, anything you set aflame

This Bar Has 100 Cocktails on Its Happy Hour Menu. Is It the World’s Craziest Happy Hour Menu?

Contributed by Kara Newman Posted on Oct 11, 2017

Most happy-hour menus trot out a handful of drinks to lure people through the door during those quiet moments before the real drinking starts. But at NYC’s Suffolk Arms , the oversize laminated menu contains more than a hundred different cocktails. And yes, they’re all marked down until the clock chimes 7 p.m. Proprietor Giuseppe Gonz á lez explains his thinking behind this most unusual phenomenon.

What’s the deal with your happy hour?

I don’t drink anymore, but when I used to drink, I would avoid happy hours like the plague. It’s often a reflection of a bar at its worst, even a bar I know to be great otherwise. It can inspire irresponsible drinking, the energy at the bar is lower, and the bartenders aren’t interacting with people.

Jersey Kilt (image: Noah Fecks)

I have the same problem that bar owners around the world have: From 7 to 9 p.m., we’re busy. Before 7, not a lot of people are coming out.

I said, Instead of 30 happy hour drinks, we’re going to do 100. It’s a good number—people remember it. And not just two-for-one Margaritas —come on, show some imagination. I said, Let’s pick 100 cocktails that people should drink.

Old Pepper (image: Noah Fecks)

So what’s on the menu?

These are drinks I make all the time. The Jersey Kilt, one of my favorite Islay cocktails, was at Pegu ; now it’s at Goto . The Old Pepper, A Charles Baker cocktail, is a savory whiskey drink. The Jungle Bird. The Gunshop Fizz, with two ounces of Peychaud’s bitters. It gets people excited about the drink, even cocktail people. And that’s kind of the point. I’m not worried about the price. I’m more worried about showing my bar at its best.

Instead of making it easier, happy hour here is harder. Luckily, I have seasoned bartenders, who can handle getting an order with 20 different cocktails—a few shaken, stirred, frozen, rocks. It’s not easy.

Jungle Bird (image: Noah Fecks)

Why would you want to make happy hour harder for your staff?

What sold me on the happy-hour menu is I have this ongoing problem: getting bartenders to think critically about cocktails. I don’t like training robots.

This approach gives me bartenders who know cocktails better. Over time, it gives bartenders the experience I need them to have. You have to be able to work off-menu. Milk & Honey always had that down: They solved the problem by not having any menu, so you have to talk with the bartender to get a drink.

Gunshop Fizz (image: Noah Fecks)

I do it with a large menu—same effect. The bartender has to know how to navigate the menu, has to know the cocktails, the flavors. How do you get your bartenders to develop their style and not stick to a script? It comes from talking and engaging, and the more you do it, the more you benefit.

The drinks aren’t organized on the menu by spirit or by style. Is that intentional?

I had them organized once. I said, That’s way too easy. People only looked at one part of the menu. This way, it’s a forced interaction but also a natural forced interaction. I just presented something to you that you will not be able to peruse perfectly. There’s no order to it— vodka there, gin there. The bartender has to help you pick options. And the less the guest communicates with you, the more likely it is that they’re having a bad experience. It’s like a bad date. And I always want people to have an incredible experience.

It’s counterintuitive. You think that if it’s easier, you’ll be happier. But you need a little push.

(image: Noah Fecks)

That’s a lot of drinks to offer at a happy hour discount.

Price shouldn’t mean diminishing quality. I try to figure out how to give people more for their money. It’s something my grandfather used to do. If you make it accessible, people will go there.

What inspired this idea?

I was inspired by Kenny Shopsin . Have you seen his menu ? It’s a complete clusterfuck; it’s representative of his mind. I remember thinking, This is wonderful, it’s beautiful, it’s overwhelming, it’s cluttered, there’s no connection between the food items. You come in thinking you want one thing, but then you order something different. I thought, This is what I want.

The Ultimate Wedding Cocktail Hour Guide

It's early in the evening and all your loved ones are together in a stylish and romantic atmosphere, complete with your favorite drinks, food and music. There's really nothing better. Here's what you need to pull off a fabulous cocktail hour at your wedding.

Knockout Signature Cocktails

Whether it's a classic or totally new, you can match your signature cocktail to your color scheme, let it reflect your personalities (as a couple or individual) or honor your favorite hometown or cultural flavors. Maybe your go-to sip is whiskey lemonade, while your fiancé's is gin and tonic. Feature both cocktails on the menu and give them creative names to reflect your personalities. And why stop at just one? Name drinks after your bridal party or serve favorite cocktails from both sets of parents.

Comfortable Seating

You'll want to give people room to mingle easily, so don't crowd the room with chairs. Instead, provide enough seating so your older guests have a comfy place to rest and anyone who's wearing high heals can take a break. A combination of low chairs, coffee tables and higher tables with bar stools will give your cocktail hour a different feel than your sit-down reception dinner. Want a cozier vibe? Build a virtual outdoor living room with armchairs, rugs and vintage end tables.

Mood Music

Since you're not at the dance party yet, keep the volume turned down and the vibe mellow so people can chat with ease. This doesn't mean you have to play cheesy elevator music, but matching your music to the mood is a good idea. Maybe you've planned a lively DJ to keep you dancing throughout the reception, but for the cocktail hour, slow it down. Hire a jazz trio, quartet or acoustic guitarist to set a distinct mood.

Stylish Setting

Sure, you've spent ages choosing your reception décor, but don't let the cocktail hour go by the wayside, especially if it's in a separate space. Small centerpieces and extra votive candles can be a great way to finish off the room. For example, if your cocktail hour's outside, but your reception will be inside a ballroom, don't be afraid to vary the décor. Take advantage of the natural foliage and string wide ribbons and colorful banners with lights from the tree branches, or set up floral installations near the entrance.

Décor Theme

Your centerpieces and table settings will set the theme for the reception, but if the cocktail hour is held in a separate room or outside, maybe try something different. You don't need to make your guests wear leis and Hawaiian-themed shirts, but you could serve tropical cocktails out of coconuts, and chips with fresh papaya and mango salsa. Take your theme to the next level by expanding it to your music and décor. Hire a mariachi band and set up handmade guacamole and churro stations. Or have a jazz pianist and singer perform and decorate with art deco–style chandeliers and a bold black-and-white color palette.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: Having a cash bar at your wedding is not a good move. If you're on a tight budget, skip pricey liquor and serve only beer and wine, or simply offer one signature drink. Looking to liven things up? Set up a specialty bar, like a cognac, microbrew, bubbly (with sparkling wines) or tequila bar. Ask your caterer about keeping an expert on hand during cocktail hour to give suggestions and tasting tips.

Scrumptious Bites

We know it's your menu, but make sure it's diverse enough so all of your guests can enjoy at least one appetizer. If you're at a loss for where to begin, touch on the major tastes: Serve something slightly salty, sweet, bitter and savory, and provide several dishes to complement to your signature cocktails. Don't forget to ask about any special diets or allergies ahead of time to ensure everyone has something to enjoy (and so anyone with allergies knows what to steer clear of). Something you might not have considered is to go ahead and give your guests something sweet before they even sit down to dinner. You don't want to spoil their appetite for what's to come (so save the chocolate ganache for later), but offering a seasonally sweet treat, like a fruit tart or lemon sorbet, could be the perfect palate cleanser before dinner. You can also forgo typical utensils entirely by offering all bites on edible spoons or in mini crispy cones.

Personal Touches

Little extras, like monogrammed napkins or barware, can go a long way in making your wedding feel totally personalized. Plus, stemless wine glasses with your wedding date or initials make an instant keepsake for guests. Fun tip: Don't wait until the end of the night to give out your favors. Instead, have a special wine or beer brewed ahead of time in honor of your wedding that you can serve during cocktail hour. Let guests sample it and then offer them each a bottle to take home at the end of the night, complete with a customized label.

Nonalcoholic Options

Make sure you've got a few drink selections for non-drinkers, especially if it's an outdoor summer wedding. For hotter months, try water infused with cucumber, melon and mint—with lots of ice. During cooler months, serve something cozy and seasonal, like hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks. Give guests more than just water and soda by having at least one mocktail on the menu. Work with your caterer or mixologist to come up with something inventive like a mix of grapefruit and orange juices, or a little coconut milk and a small scoop of orange sherbet on top.

Games and Activities

Give your guests something extra to do during the cocktail hour, even if it's just breaking out the guest book a little early to give them plenty of time to sign it. If your wedding is outdoors, set up lawn games like bocce ball, lawn croquet or a beanbag toss. These types of games are also a great idea if you'll be having lots of kids at the reception. You could also rent a photo booth and provide fun props for guests to pose with.

Happy Hour Menu

A retro-style cocktail supper combines the glamour of a bygone era with updated dishes for today's entertaining.

The late James Beard, considered by many to be the godfather of American cuisine, once noted that the cocktail party is "not a formal affair; it is as democratic as the subway." And Beard knew that better than anyone. Around 1940, he played a crucial role in making the cocktail party an American institution when he started his New York catering business and published his first cookbook, called Hors d'Oeuvre and Canapés. His timing was perfect. In the years following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, New York's social set threw about 250 cocktail parties a day in Manhattan's Upper East Side alone. Cocktail parties of that era continue to set the standard for glamorous, yet easy, entertaining.

We've taken tips from Beard's book and updated some of his recipes to create a selection of delicious appetizers that have nostalgic charm but still appeal to modern palates. And these recipes live up to Beard's timeless advice: "Nothing but the best is good enough for friends."

Because many cocktail foods can be prepared in advance, this is low-key entertaining at its best. A party featuring a variety of finger foods-enough to make a full meal-and drinks for a dozen guests is far easier to pull off than, say, a formal dinner for six.

Cocktail Supper (Serves 12)

Many of these recipes can be prepared in advance. For our Cocktail Supper Countdown guide, click here.

Happy Hour Tips

Beard's book, still in print, is loaded with solid advice on food and party-giving. Some of his wisdom seems dated today, such as his admonition to "have plenty of cigarettes, and not only your own brand." But many of his tips still ring true.

·Innovative finger foods, "which, with their savory qualities or salty tang . . . stimulate the taste buds of the tongue to a point that makes the succeeding courses seem much more enjoyable."

·Serve a mix of cold and hot dishes, contrasting temperatures are just as important as the interplay of different tastes and textures.

·For cold appetizers, choose deviled eggs, stuffed tomatoes, sliced meats, variously flavored cheese balls, and cornucopias of salami slices filled with cream cheese and Parmesan cheese.

·Canapés (with a bread or crust base) should be simply spread with flavored butter or meat paste, and topped with sardines, pieces of lobster, or diced meat.

·Hot appetizers included sandwiches, such as his mini "cocktail hamburger." Other hot appetizers were pastry shells or toast rounds baked with crab, shrimp, olive, cheese, or meat; vegetable or meat fritters; croquettes; pastry turnovers; and brochettes.
