BEVERAGES CATERING

Beverages Catering Menu

At Green Apple Catering and Events, we understand that beverages do more than quench thirst—they help define the rhythm of your event. From energizing morning brews to evening signature mocktails, every drink we serve is selected with the same care as our food. Our beverage menus are designed to match the mood, enhance the meal, and reflect the spirit of New York sophistication. Our approach to beverage catering isn’t about stacking bottles or offering generic options. It’s about working hand-in-hand with you to create drink pairings that elevate your entire event experience. Whether it’s an intimate rooftop brunch or a full-scale corporate launch, our beverage curation mirrors your event’s tone—fresh, local, and unmistakably NYC. We source ingredients seasonally, lean into thoughtful presentation, and design drink menus that feel intentional. Sparkling waters infused with herbs, freshly pressed juices, and locally roasted coffee blends are just the start.

ONLY MENUS

Morning Events: Breakfast Beverage Pairings

Morning events require more than just coffee—they deserve a refined touch. We offer handcrafted beverage options that suit breakfast gatherings, whether you’re hosting an early board meeting or a weekend celebration. Seasonal juices, herbal teas, and slow-drip coffee are all part of the experience. We often pair these selections with rotating seasonal breakfast offerings available on our breakfast menu to bring a complete early-day spread.

All-Day Drink Stations for Corporate Catering

When planning a full-day conference or corporate gathering, beverages need to flow consistently and pair well with a changing menu. That’s why we design all-day drink stations to include hot coffee, cold brew, iced teas, sparkling water, and more—served in polished displays that suit the occasion. These setups work hand-in-hand with the full range of service packages outlined in our corporate catering options, giving your team the refreshment they need without interruption.

Custom Pairings with Lunch Buffets

Lunch events come with variety, and your drinks should reflect that. We provide custom beverage combinations that align with your buffet selections—whether it’s artisanal lemonades, fruit-infused water, or a light herbal iced tea. Our flexible options are best when paired with seasonal mid-day selections like those found in our build your own lunch buffet package, creating a balanced and approachable spread.

Elevated Evening Beverage Service

Evening events offer the chance to go beyond basics. That’s where our curated drink services really stand out. From warm seasonal drinks during colder months to cool, refreshing mocktails in the summer, each element is chosen to pair perfectly with your dinner service. This level of attention is especially impactful when matched with full-service meals such as those offered in our dinner buffet catering. Today’s guests have diverse preferences and dietary needs, which is why we include gluten-free, vegan, and sugar-conscious drink options. We believe inclusive catering should extend to every glass served. We often integrate these offerings into more personalized catering setups like our individual entrées catering, making sure every guest has a drink that fits their lifestyle.

Balanced Options with Light Catering

Not every event calls for a full meal. For wellness events or lighter affairs, we offer refreshing and functional beverages that promote hydration and clarity. Think cucumber water, antioxidant-rich teas, and natural juices. These pair beautifully with light food-focused offerings such as our build-your-own salad menus—ideal for fitness-focused or midday sessions. Whether you’re planning a winter celebration or a rooftop summer party, beverages can set the tone. We craft seasonal drink packages with ingredients that match the mood—like mulled cider in the winter or lavender lemonade in spring.
Our special buffet options often inspire the flavor profiles we use in beverages, allowing for a seamless event design from table to toast

Dessert Pairings & Beverage Finale

An event’s final course deserves just as much attention as its opening moments. At Green Apple Catering, we treat desserts and beverages as a thoughtful pair, not an afterthought. After the main course has been cleared, we bring out finishing beverages that complement the flavors of your dessert table. Our team curates options like house-made cold brew, espresso, herbal teas, and warm spiced drinks—each one designed to enhance sweets like fruit tarts, rich cakes, or seasonal pastries. These offerings are ideal when coordinated with selections from our desserts catering menu, creating a full-circle culinary experience that ends your event on a high note.

Grain Bowl & Wellness Events

Catering for health-forward events means more than offering “lighter” meals. It’s about intentional pairings that keep guests refreshed and energized. That’s where our wellness beverage options come in. For events featuring grain bowls, build-your-own nourish stations, or plant-based spreads, we offer drinks that support the same clean, thoughtful style—like infused waters, unsweetened iced teas, kombucha blends, or low-sugar juices. These beverages complement our grain bowls catering service, which is a favorite among corporate clients hosting wellness retreats or lunchtime seminars that focus on both flavor and nutrition.

Casual Gatherings with Local NYC Classics

Not every catered event calls for formal table settings or plated courses. Sometimes, it’s about capturing the energy of the city in a more laid-back way. For those moments, we turn to casual drink selections that reflect NYC culture—think specialty sodas, sparkling waters, and refreshing lemonades served in glass bottles or carafes. These are often paired with familiar crowd-pleasers like our heroes by the foot, which offer bold, classic flavor in a format that’s perfect for relaxed team lunches, casual receptions, or family-style gatherings.

Warm Comforts with Italian-Inspired Menus

There’s something timeless about Italian food, especially when it’s paired with warm, comforting beverages. When we cater events with baked pasta, rich sauces, or roasted vegetable dishes, we often recommend finishing the meal with espresso, cappuccino, or even an Italian soda. These drinks support the heartiness of the menu and create a satisfying transition into dessert or final remarks. Our hot Italian pasta catering is frequently chosen for winter events, corporate dinners, or any occasion where guests want that deep, satisfying comfort food feel—supported by thoughtful beverage service.

Beverage Kits for Boxed Meals & Drop-Offs

For events that don’t require full setup or staffing, our boxed catering solutions provide flexibility without sacrificing quality. We offer pre-packaged beverage kits that are ideal for offices, on-location productions, or events requiring fast, efficient service. These kits may include bottled cold brew, natural sodas, or wellness shots—paired neatly with lunch offerings to keep the meal feeling cohesive. Our lunch box catering service makes this kind of execution easy. We ensure that every boxed meal has a curated beverage component, helping your event feel thoughtful even when it’s on the go.

A Unified Catering Experience

What sets Green Apple Catering apart in NYC isn’t just the quality of our food—it’s our attention to the full picture. Beverages are never an afterthought in our service model. They’re part of the planning process from day one. Whether we’re designing a formal dinner or a relaxed team lunch, we think about how the drinks serve the experience, not just the menu.
Our goal is simple: create a smooth, integrated experience where every part of your catering—from flavor to flow—feels purposeful. With Green Apple Catering and Events, you’re not just getting food and drink. You’re getting a creative partner who understands how to build events that feel distinctly yours, down to the final sip.
