On Day 16 of #churchhouseadvent we turn our attention to Christmas drinks. A sure way to get a party off to a good start begins with arrival drinks as guests are welcomed to the reception.
We have asked our Sales & Marketing Team to let us know their suggestions for a drinks reception. Find out what festive cocktails you’ll find Marina Papadopoulou, our Business Development Manager and Elana Kruger, our Marketing Manager, mixing, shaking and stirring up when Christmas comes around.
