DIY Flavoured Water Bar: Easy Ideas for Your Next Gathering

A flavoured water bar gives guests a choice without requiring a complicated drinks menu. Set out chilled water, a few Bolero flavours and clean glasses, then let everyone choose what they would like to try.

Choose a small selection

Offer a few contrasting flavours rather than every option at once. A familiar fruit flavour such as Watermelon or Mango can sit alongside Forest Fruits or a tea option such as Ice Tea Peach. Check that the products you choose are available and read the preparation directions for each one.

Prepare clearly labelled jugs

Use clean jugs and prepare each flavour separately according to its sachet directions. Label each jug with the product name and keep the packet nearby so guests can refer to ingredient information. Bolero ranges do not all have the same sachet weight or water yield, so avoid using one blanket measurement for every flavour.

Add optional garnishes

Place lemon slices, mint or ice in separate bowls. These are optional additions for guests who want them; the drink mix itself provides the flavour. Keep serving utensils separate and make sure guests can identify what is in each jug.

Offer a bottle option too

For guests who prefer to mix a single drink, leave sealed Sticks sachets beside a bottle of water. Standard Sticks fruit sachets make up to 1 litre each; follow the directions for the exact product. A larger Classic sachet may be more suited to a shared jug.

Keep the setup simple

Place the jugs on ice or refrigerate them before serving. Refill with fresh batches as needed, and store prepared drinks safely. For flavours and formats, browse Classic, Sticks and Ice Tea.
