Summer arrives with a cocktail flavor, refreshing, fragrant, attractive. A unique and fun gastronomic experience is to organize a meal with cocktail pairings, a format that is gaining popularity. According to some experts, this type of drink enhances the flavor of the dishes and highlights the subtleties of the different delicacies that will have been prepared. Cocktails have also been a source of inspiration for many figures in world literature. 

Many renowned writers have seen mixing as a way to feed their creative horizon and free their reason. Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner or Zelda Fitzgerald to name a few of them. Good reasons to bring friends together. But with this unusual idea, we will have to be creative in how the table receives our guests.

The images show how we can dress the table for this special occasion, in which we will have to display different drinks and dishes. A good formula is to arrange all the drinks at one end of the table and then place the different dishes that have been prepared distributed along it…. a few “shots” of gazpacho, different types of salad, a fish cake, a plate with different cheeses to finish at the other end of the table with the fruit and sweets. 

With the idea of ??also giving a slightly different touch to the floral decoration, some original “strawberry vases” from the Barcelona florist Zinnia have been arranged in an intense red color, as well as a bouquet of carnations in the center. Something special has also been provided as a tablecloth: some placemats designed by the artist Lulú Figueroa Domecq from Matarranz, a century-old firm where the best raw materials for fabrics for the home are found. A good way to start the summer of the 24th.
