HOW TO THROW THE PERFECT PICKLEBALL COCKTAIL PARTY

Pickleball is a fun and fast-paced game that’s perfect for parties. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, graduation, or just a fun summer day, hosting a pickleball party can be a great way to get your friends and family together for some friendly competition.

Here are some tips for throwing a successful pickleball party:

1. Invite your guests everyone: The great thing about pickleball is that everyone can play, so you can quite literally invite everyone you know to join the fun. Just let let them know that the party will be centered around pickleball and encourage them to bring their competitive spirit.

2. Set up the court: Pickleball requires a specific court size and net height, so make sure you have the proper equipment before your party. You can either purchase a portable pickleball net or use a makeshift net, such as a volleyball net or a string between two poles. Mark the court boundaries with cones or chalk.

3. Provide equipment: Make sure you have enough paddles and balls for everyone to use. If you don’t have enough equipment, ask your guests to bring their own.

4. Food and drinks: Pickleball can be a workout, so it’s important to provide some snacks and refreshments for your guests. Consider serving some light and healthy options, such as fruit skewers or veggie platters, as well as some heartier snacks like chips and dip. And, of course, no party is complete without a signature cocktail. Here’s a recipe for a refreshing pickleball-inspired drink:
