First, brew some Luzianne Iced Tea or grab fresh brewed Luzianne Tea Gallons from the store (we have 4 kinds – Sweet, Unsweet, Extra Sweet, and Zero Sugar), then choose your teas, drinks and garnishes, and arrange it all like a party-perfect showpiece. These party-size tea recipes and tea bar presentation ideas are ready to roll out for any event.

Make a tea fountain the center of your party spread.

Offer all the flavors with glass tea dispensers.
Invest in a few glass beverage dispensers and you’ll forever have a fast way to serve a selection of teas and tea drinks. For options, think sweet tea, unsweet tea, decaf tea, a springtime tea spritzer or maybe a spirited tea punch.
Instead of cups, serve buckets!
Instead of disposable cups, buy these inexpensive 32-ounce deli buckets and some wide straws to use as fun, party-size iced tea and drink containers.
Punch bowls are a crowd favorite.
What’s a party without tea punch in a festive punch bowl? It’s a Southern party tradition dating to the early 1800s.
