welcome drinks
Greeting beverages offered
Welcome drinks are complimentary beverages offered to guests upon arrival at a hotel, resort, wedding, or other event.
The gesture signals hospitality and sets a tone of generosity: The resort greeted us with welcome drinks in the lobby.
At weddings and formal events, welcome drinks occupy the period while guests mingle before being seated.
