Keeping guests refreshed and engaged at corporate events requires more than just snacks and speeches – offering a thoughtful drink menu can boost energy, encourage networking, and enhance the overall experience. From energizing cold brews to creative non-alcoholic options, here are the best beverage choices to elevate your next corporate event and keep attendees energized and focused.
1. Cold Brew Coffee: A Smooth, Energizing Option for Busy Professionals
Corporate events often run all day, so a reliable coffee option is essential. But rather than the usual hot coffee, consider offering cold brew. Cold brew coffee provides a smooth, steady caffeine boost that’s perfect for keeping guests alert without the usual caffeine crash. Little Flask’s Classic Cold Brew offers a rich, bold flavor, while the Cold Brew Oat Latte and Cold Brew Oat Vanilla Latte provide creamy, dairy-free alternatives with a touch of sweetness.
Why Cold Brew Works for Corporate Events:
- Ready-to-Drink Convenience: Little Flask’s cold brew flasks are pre-packaged and ready to drink, so attendees can simply grab a flask and enjoy it as they move between sessions. No need for coffee carts or barista services – perfect for large events where time is limited.
- Keeps Guests Energized: Cold brew offers a natural caffeine boost that helps guests stay engaged and focused throughout the day, making it ideal for presentations, workshops, and networking breaks.
Set up a dedicated coffee station where guests can grab a Little Flask cold brew whenever they need an energy boost. It’s an easy, mess-free way to provide high-quality coffee without extra equipment.
2. Infused Water Stations for Refreshment and Hydration
Keeping guests hydrated is key to helping them feel comfortable and focused. Infused water stations are a refreshing, visually appealing option that encourages hydration. Set out large water dispensers with various flavor infusions, like lemon and mint, cucumber and basil, or strawberry and lime.
Benefits of Infused Water:
- Healthy and Refreshing: Infused water is a healthy alternative to sugary sodas and provides a refreshing break for guests.
- Customizable: Offer a few flavor options so guests can choose the one they like best.
Infused water stations are easy to set up, and they add a touch of elegance to any event. Simply arrange the dispensers at a central location, and let guests help themselves.
3. Kombucha Bar for a Trendy, Health-Conscious Option
For events where guests may appreciate a wellness-focused drink, a kombucha bar offers a trendy, health-conscious option. Kombucha is lightly caffeinated and packed with probiotics, making it a great choice for guests looking for an alternative to coffee or soda. Offer a few flavors, like ginger, berry, or citrus, to appeal to different tastes.
Why Kombucha Works at Corporate Events:
- Refreshing and Energizing: Kombucha provides a mild energy boost and is refreshing enough to enjoy all day.
- Health Benefits: Known for its probiotic content, kombucha supports gut health, making it popular among health-conscious attendees.
Set up a kombucha station with clear signage so guests can try different flavors throughout the event.
4. Sparkling Water with a Twist
Sparkling water is a great non-alcoholic option that feels a bit more special than still water. Provide a range of options, from plain sparkling water to flavored varieties like lime, grapefruit, and berry. Add fresh fruit garnishes for a fun, customizable twist that lets guests personalize their drink.
Why Sparkling Water is Ideal for Corporate Events:
- Elegant and Refreshing: Sparkling water feels festive and can be enjoyed throughout the day without affecting focus or energy levels.
- Easy to Customize: Set out garnishes like lemon slices, berries, or mint for a refreshing touch.
This low-calorie option appeals to a wide range of guests and is perfect for all-day hydration.
5. Fresh Juice Bar for a Nutrient Boost
A fresh juice bar offers a vibrant, healthy beverage choice that can help guests recharge and rehydrate. Consider offering a variety of cold-pressed juices, like orange, green juice, or carrot-ginger blends. For a simpler setup, individual bottled juices can provide the same benefits without the need for a juicing station.
Benefits of a Juice Bar:
- Vitamin-Packed and Refreshing: Fresh juice provides nutrients and hydration, making it a great choice for breaks and networking sessions.
- Appeals to Health-Conscious Attendees: Juice bars offer a nutritious option that feels energizing and light, perfect for guests who prioritize wellness.
A juice bar setup is especially popular at morning or brunch events, adding a bright, energizing start to the day.
6. Smoothie Station for a Filling, On-the-Go Option
Smoothies offer a filling, refreshing option for corporate events, especially for guests who may not have time for a full meal. Set up a smoothie station with a few pre-made options like berry, green, and protein-packed smoothies. Smoothies provide a quick way to refuel and keep attendees energized between sessions.
Why Smoothies Work at Corporate Events:
- Nutritious and Satisfying: Smoothies provide lasting energy, making them perfect for midday breaks.
- Customizable for Dietary Needs: Offer dairy-free or vegan smoothie options to cater to different dietary preferences.
Smoothie stations are especially well-suited for morning events or as a mid-day energy boost.
