At Your Service: Cocktails and Appetizers
One idea for a memorable 21st birthday is to hire a few key people who can make the night extra special.Don't worry, we're not talking about a male dancer - think more along the lines of a bartender, sommelier, driver and room service.

- You've likely had a few drinks before your 21st birthday, but you might not have paid much attention to the specifics of what you were drinking.
- Since college tends to be more about mixing whatever you have in your fridge with the cheapest bottle of liquor at the store that doesn't card, it's time to develop an appreciation for the fine art involved in crafting cocktails.
- Use your local Craigslist and hire a bartender who can come over and teach the party a few bartending tricks, tips and impressive drink recipes.Then keep him (or her) around for another hour to mix up delicious creations for you and your friends.
