Make your cocktail menu stand out and you will get a lucrative amount in this business! Continue reading if you’re having some challenges on getting started with your menu:
1. Set Up Your Design
A good way to start putting content on your cocktail menu is by deciding the overall design and appearance. Plan out where the photos, logo, and what the color scheme of it is going to be. Think of the outline of your menu’s content. Figure out the font you’ll choose for the text and the positioning of the words and graphics. Choose whether the menu’s background is a solid color or an image. You need to make sure it will have a memorable design. Once you are done planning them all out, making it will be easier from here on.
2. Pour Some Photos
Most menus used to keep it simple, but modern menus incorporate photos to bring their menus to life and giving their customers a visual of what they are selling. To make yours more memorable you may add photos of the cocktails. With our templates’ features, you’ll be able to incorporate it into Illustrator without any hassle. Be careful about the placement of the images in case they overlap on some of the words and make it unreadable. And finally, make sure the photos/graphics aren’t too large or they’ll grab the attention of the reader more than the written text. Keep all this in mind, and your customers will marvel at your wonderfully made menu.
3. Aesthetics and Themes
If your business has an event coming or a theme, then you can incorporate it into your menu as well. If your bar has a minimalist look, you can extend that theme to your menu with a simple design. And if it has an upcoming event plan, say a Halloween party, then you can change it up a bit and edit your menu with a cool design for the night. Incorporating these aspects to your menu will make customers find them visually appealing and memorable, which in turn will help strengthen your brand.
4. Mix the Descriptions In
Adding the description of the drinks in your layout lets your customers know what is in their drink and give your customers an idea of what they would like to order. For example, if you serve the cocktail Tom Collins, you can add a description of it being made from gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and serve with ice. This can make your bar drinks list a fun read for your customers as well while they browse through the menu. Take note though, no one likes a menu with a lot of words, so try to be short and concise!
