We’ve not really gathered for drinks in a long time, and now that we are again, everyone is extra aware of the risks of spreading germs. (We are still making our way out of a global pandemic after all.) No one wants to pick up the wrong wine or cocktail glass because they don’t want to get sick, or they just want to drink their own drink. Understandable.
One great way to make sure everyone only drinks from their own glass is by picking up a set of drink markers. These markers take various forms, but their job is to make sure that each drink is identifiable. Whether this is via a charm or an actual marker that you write with, the same job is done — the glasses are easy to identify, and often, the method of IDing is rather adorable!
If planning a holiday cocktail party, this is a fantastic time to stock up on a few sets of wine and cocktail markers.
