The Fresh Bartender's Guide to
Healthy Parties & Festive Juicing
Chapter 7
Party Occasions & Themes


“I thought my life would seem more interesting with a musical score and a laugh track.” - Bill Watterson

When planning a Fresh Party, choose an occasion that won’t interfere with typical junk food events, like birthdays (cake and ice cream) and the Super Bowl (pizza and beer), although I have included a nutty birthday cake recipe, for those who are game. Instead, focus on introducing new traditions to your circle of family and friends. Consider options from this chapter and personalize them according to your tastes, interests and location.

Besides the suggestions for Fresh Party occasions on the following page, you can easily create a Theme Party using the drink and food recipes in this book. Consider one of these:




  • Planting Party – gather your friends together to create a garden

  • Fruit Party – choose a specific fruit that comes into season for a short time, like strawberries, cherries, peaches, figs, etc.

  • Harvest Party – focus on apples and pears, and plan it in October to include a pumpkin carving contest

  • Garden Party – when your flowers bloom, celebrate!

  • TV Event – rather than a rowdy occasion, choose an inspiring event like the Olympics, or a marathon or tennis tournament

  • A Housewarming or Birthday celebration for yourself or another friend who’s excited about juices and won’t miss the junk food


  • Spa Day – invite someone to give facial treatments, massages or foot soaks to your Fresh Party guests

  • Kombucha or Cider Making – teach your guests something new and send them home with a tasty gift

  • Wine Tasting – get an expert to talk about wines, or get a wine book for beginners and learn the lingo together

  • Support Local Music – invite a local musician to serenade your guests

  • Psychic Party – tarot, palm and skull readings are especially fun

  • Guided Meditation – relax your guests and get them in the spirit of a Fresh Party with an inspiring visualization

  • Game or Tournament – consider lawn games, like croquet, as well as card or board games, including a tournament

  • Picnic or Beach Party – natural settings can inspire people to en- joy fresh and raw foods even more
