How to Host a Virtual Cocktail Night – Letterbox Style

Just because we’re not all huddled around the same table doesn’t mean we can’t raise a glass together. Virtual socials might not be quite as novel as they once were, but they’re still a brilliant way to connect—whether it's with far-flung friends, teammates at home, or family spread across postcodes. And with Letterbox Cocktails, hosting is as smooth as the drinks themselves.

Step one: Plan it in
Pick a date that works for your crowd, create a group invite (Zoom, Teams, FaceTime—whatever suits), and add a playful touch like a dress code or a themed background. Think “shaken not stirred” or “cabin crew chic”—whatever gets people in the mood.

Step two: Choose your drinks
Browse our range and pick a few favourites for everyone to try. You could go with timeless classics like Negronis and Margaritas, or build a themed line-up—zesty, floral, or even espresso-forward. We’ll deliver them directly to each guest in beautifully boxed packages, ready to pour.

Step three: Make it more than just a chat
Add a few extras to keep things lively. A quick trivia quiz, a “best garnish” competition, or a mix-along moment (with minimal shaking required) can give the night structure without being too rigid. It’s not about running a show—it’s about sparking a few laughs.

Step four: Deliver the goods
Once you’ve confirmed numbers and addresses, we’ll take care of the rest. No chasing, no mess, no panic buys. Just bar-quality cocktails landing through letterboxes in time for the big night.

Step five: Finish with a flourish
A shared playlist sets the tone (take turns picking songs or make one together in advance). And don’t forget a screenshot or two—bonus points for cocktail cheers and creative backdrops. You can even make a shared album for the memories.

So, if your group chat’s in need of a shake-up, or you’re looking for an easy win for your next work social, skip the spreadsheets and start with the spirits. Explore our menu and plan a night in that feels like a proper night out—minus the bar queue.
