Is it Okay to Serve Cocktails and Mocktails During a Hibachi Outdoor Party?
Alcohol has been a part of Japanese culture since immemorial, and a perfect Hibachi Outdoor experience wouldn't be complete without it. As such, serving cocktails and mocktails can easily elevate your event to a new level.
However, when serving alcohol outdoors, it's always important to remember that drinking alcohol in a warm environment will make you get drunk faster. Make sure designated drivers have plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and encourage moderation. Furthermore, drinks spilling near the hibachi grill is a potential safety risk. Consider setting aside a specific space for non-alcoholic drinks.
To have a better experience outdoors, it’s best to have enough ice to chill drinks. If you need ice or a portable cooler, consider renting one. You can also create an area for serving and mixing drinks. This could be a table, a mobile bar cart, or even a unique cooler with already-made drinks.
Our Top Picks of Cocktails and Mocktails

3. Yuzu Cocktail
Yuzu Cocktail is a straightforward recipe with a delightful combination of vanilla's subtle sweetness and gin's bold flavor. It's the perfect beverage to unwind with on a spring day or after a long day on the job.
4. Sparkling Sakura (Mocktail)
If you're looking for a refreshing and appetizing mocktail then this drink is for you. To balance the sometimes fragrant scent of Sakura, lychee offers a pleasant, tropical flavor.
Make a colorful infusion by steeping hibiscus blossoms in hot water; the result is Sparkling Sakura Fizz. Combine carbonated water, lemon juice, and a hint of honey for a lovely flowery treat.
