When most people think of Oktoberfest, they picture giant beer steins, Bavarian music, pretzels bigger than your head, and crowds dressed in lederhosen and dirndls. But this iconic German festival is about more than just tradition ā itās about celebration, connection, and having fun. And what better way to elevate your Oktoberfest drinks than by adding a sparkling twist with Twinkle My Drink edible glitter?
This year, while millions gather in Munich or host Oktoberfest parties at home, you can make your drinks stand out with a shimmer that shines as bright as the festivities themselves.
What Is Oktoberfest?
Oktoberfest is the worldās largest beer festival, held annually in Munich, Germany, running from late September to early October. It dates back to 1810, originally celebrating the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria. Today, it has grown into a global phenomenon, inspiring Oktoberfest events from South Africa to the U.S., all paying homage to German culture, food, and, of course ā beer.
At the heart of the festival are the famous beer tents, lively brass bands, hearty Bavarian food, and drinks that flow for two whole weeks. Whether youāre attending in Munich or throwing your own themed celebration at home, drinks are central to the Oktoberfest experience.
Drinks Youāll Find at Oktoberfest
šŗ MƤrzen ā The Classic Oktoberfest Beer
The official Oktoberfest beer is MƤrzen, a smooth, amber-colored lager with malty flavors and a touch of caramel sweetness. Traditionally brewed in March (āMƤrzā in German) and stored until fall, itās strong enough to warm you on a crisp Bavarian evening but refreshing enough to keep the party going.
⨠Try pairing MƤrzen with our Warm Orange GlitterĀ to amplify its golden tones ā your stein will glisten like liquid autumn.
š Radler ā Light & Refreshing
A popular choice for those who want something lighter, the RadlerĀ is a mix of beer and lemonade (or citrus soda). Itās fizzy, zesty, and incredibly refreshing after hours of dancing to Bavarian folk music.
⨠Our Metallic Red Glitter turns this everyday mix into something festive, with sparkling ruby tones that tie perfectly into the German flag.
š„ German Wine & Sekt (Sparkling Wine)
Not a beer lover? Oktoberfest also serves crisp German wines and bubbly SektĀ (sparkling wine). Rieslings are a local favorite, offering fruity and floral notes that pair beautifully with pretzels and sausages.
⨠Add a pinch of orange glitter for a golden glow or metallic red for a celebratory sparkle that makes your glass photo-ready.
š¹ Modern Twists: Cocktails & Mocktails
While beer reigns supreme, many party-goers today enjoy cocktails or alcohol-free options. Think spritzes, fruity mixes, or sparkling mocktails for those who want the Oktoberfest vibe without the buzz.
⨠These are perfect canvases for glitter: a citrus spritz with orange shimmer, or a berry mocktail topped with metallic red sparkle. Your guests wonāt just sip their drinks ā theyāll photograph them, post them, and remember them.
Food Pairings for a Glittering Feast
No Oktoberfest is complete without hearty food. Pretzels, bratwurst, roast chicken, sauerkraut, and pork knuckles are festival staples. The rich, salty flavors are made to be enjoyed with a refreshing drink.
Adding glitter to your drinks doesnāt just make them beautiful ā it makes them the centerpiece of your feast. Imagine serving golden beer alongside a shimmering roast chicken spread, or ruby-sparkling spritzes paired with giant pretzels. Your table will feel like Oktoberfest stepped straight into your home.
