How to host a Tiki Party

Summer house parties are a great way to bring friends together. Yet hosting an Aussie BBQ can get a bit dull. Stand out from the crowd and throw a Tiki Party! With minimal effort yet maximum style you can host a gathering that your friends and family will be raving about for years to come. What you will need:



A signature cocktail.  Who wants to be making drinks all night? Keep it simple by making a punch or favourite drink in bulk. My favourite is a Cointreau Blush.

Cointreau Blush Recipe

Start with a tall glass of ice
30ml of Cointreau
10ml of lime juice
60ml of pink grapefruit juice
top up with soda and add a lime wedge

Quirky details make the party. Add a mermaid pendant lamp, amp up your bar with flamingos, cocktail umbrellas, swizzle sticks & anodised cups for instant style.

Set the mood. Borrow your folks vinyl collection or stream a Tiki Lounge digital radio station for the evening. Dont forget to add fairy lights, candles and bamboo flares!

Break the ice with party games! Limbo anyone?

The hostess with the mostess always looks the part. Wear something outrageously stylish. Its not everyday you throw a party.  I highly recommend Hot Couture, they will have you feeling fabulous & effortlessly looking the part.

Outbound with the In Crowd

I am completely head over heels in love with the work of Artist, Shag. His brightly coloured retro inspired world is pure hedonistic fantasy. 

My taste in art has developed overtime but there is something cheeky in Shag's work that keeps me coming back.  One day I can only dream that he gets inspiration in the form of a bedazzled pineapple. Until then I will send him Jedi mind control thoughts.

If you are in Sydney (or Melbourne) check out Shag's latest exhibition, Outbound with the In Crowd at Outré Gallery.
