Drink Party: How to Create the Coolest Summer Party? The Ice Drink Party: the frozen trend that’s melting July

 

 

“Summer is hot. Too hot. What if, this year, you turned the temperature down with a completely icy idea? Ditch the classic aperitifs and say yes to the Ice Drink Party: a fresh, ultra-stylish, and 100% fun-filled celebration. Savory ice creams, frozen cocktails, and eye-catching decor… this is the cool idea that will electrify your evenings.
Spoiler: your guests will be talking about it until Christmas.”

Cristal d'Arques Glasses

The chic detail that changes everything: Cristal d’Arques glasses

You’ve got everything planned, except for one detail that changes everything? The glasses, of course! Easy: serve everything in Cristal d’Arques Paris glasses. Their sparkle, their refined design, their sublime shapes… they transform a simple mojito into a gala cocktail. And since they’re available for every beverage, you can shine at every level: soft drinks, whiskey, granitas, spritzers… there’s a glass for every craving!

Ice Cream Festival, savory AND sweet (yes, both)

Salty ice creams: a frosty slap for your taste buds

“Say goodbye to bland chips. And hello to totally amazing savory ice creams. We’re thinking outside the box!

  • Avocado-lime ice cream in an Architecte whiskey glass.
    Smooth, tangy, and enhanced with a little olive oil and lemon zest. Served in a Cristal d’Arques Paris whiskey glass, it’s a fusion of fine dining and class—it’s as beautiful as it is delicious!”
Tomato Basil Sorbet Swirly Stemmed Glass
  • Tomato and basil sorbet served in a Swirly stemmed glass. Guaranteed to create a frosty gazpacho effect. Fresh, fragrant, irresistible… especially in an ultra-chic stemmed glass.”

Sweet ice creams: for big kids with flavor

  • Mojito granita in a Lady Diamond champagne flute. Mint, lime, rum, crushed ice. Blend everything together, serve in a Cristal d’Arques Paris champagne glass, and there it is… magic! It’s classy, ​​it’s delicious, it’s ultra Instagrammable.”
  • Rosé-raspberry popsicles in Swirly Spring cups. Rose-flavored ice cubes, a few fresh raspberries, a wooden stick… and voilà, these are adult popsicles. Ultra-trendy in Cristal d’Arques cups, of course.”

Frozen cocktails: the ultimate weapon against the heat

Alcoholic Slushies: Mix strawberries and tequila, lemon and vodka, cucumber and gin… and… you get slushies that awaken the taste buds and refresh the atmosphere. It’s the cocktail that wakes up summer!

Non-alcoholic cocktails: Try the pineapple-mint, lemon-watermelon, or orange-raspberry combinations. A festival of flavors!

Decorating Ideas: The Magic of Ice (Without Breaking the Bank)

The ice cream bar: fun, chic and completely DIY

Set up a table filled with Cristal d’Arques glasses, toppings galore (fruit, sprinkles, syrups, herbs, etc.), a few funky spoons, and let your guests create their own frosted masterpieces. It’s fun, beautiful, and it makes a statement.

Pastel colors & polar energy

Raspberry pink, ice blue, mint green… Make it a statement! Add a few LED string lights, frosted flowers, ice cubes with fruit inside… and your decor will be transformed into a Pinterest scene IRL.

Atmosphere and games: we don’t just sip (even if we love it)

The Mystery Perfume Game

Basil-strawberry? Mango-cilantro? Avocado-dill? There’s laughter, there’s debate, and above all… it creates memories.

Frosty Playlist: Hits to Melt Hearts

Tropical chill + 2000s hits + summer essentials = dream vibe. Because an Ice Drink Party without music is like a mojito without mint: it doesn’t work.

Cristal d’Arques: glasses for every ice cream

Whiskey glasses for salty ice creams, flutes for granitas, tumblers for popsicles, verrines for foodie experiments… Each size has its own style, each style has its own glass. And each Cristal d’Arques glass has that certain something chic that changes everything.

Tips for a stress-free (and sweat-free) evening

  • Prepare the ice cream the day before (or cheat with ready-made versions)
  • Take out the Cristal d’Arques glasses and hand-wash them for maximum shine
  • Add small labels to label cocktails and flavors (pro effect guaranteed)
  • Place blankets and pillows on the table to chill out

In short? Bring on the Ice Drink Party!

This summer, ditch the grill and chips. Throw an Ice Drink Party everyone will remember. Original, fun, refreshing, and ultra-stylish. Your friends will melt with delight, your photos will shine, and your summer will officially be legendary.
