The Cicerone in me is talking, and he says that every character has the perfect beer pairing that makes the character, or at least your tipsy portrayal of them, really shine. that doesn't seem right alcohol is definitely the best. OK, maybe alcohol doesn't have the power of characterization among its many assets, and I'm giving it too much credit here. No. It's possible they can pull some insight out the character you never thought of or even create a new nuance in their character's personality. If your guests know their characters ahead of time, let them think about it and bring whatever they think is right. What would they drink? The dainty princess drinks her Wine Spritzer (hurrah for anachronism!) and the dangerous outlaw drinks straight whiskey. Character DrinksĮvery character in every mystery has a distinct personality. Keep on the lookout for British browns to fill your castle, pumpkin beer for your Halloween, and Pilsner for your Polka party! If the drinks are there, your guests will drink them. At the very least, there is a beer somewhere in the grand spectrum of beers that exist that matches the theme of your mystery. Try setting out some different colored powdered drink mixes so your guests can customize their shiny beverage. Found a space themed mystery? Tonic water glows in the dark due the presence of quinine, so make a list of tonic based drinks and put up some black lights to lend your mystery that futuristic aura. Whiskey cocktails for a Wild-West mystery, Wine (and wine mixes) for the Medieval Royal Ball, and Champagne and Manhattans for the 20's Masquerade Dance are all great places to start. If you don't have imagination, then Google can spring board you straight into some perfect ideas.

One of the greatest things about the settings, places, and time periods that murder mysteries often take place in is that they leave ample room for your imagination to run free to come up with ideas for themed drinks. Every murder mystery has a theme. Sometimes they are set in the Wild West, sometimes in the Roaring 20's.
