  • Unless you are hiring a bartender, I would try to limit the cocktails to about four distinctly different (with maybe an adjunct/variation or 2), otherwise it tends to be a hot mess. You will spend more time squeezing, cleaning, and just trying to manage everything instead of enjoying the night. It gets exhausting, especially when the liquor starts taking hold. Pre-batch what you can (Old Fashions, Negroni, Manhattans…). Keep in mind as the night goes on it will become increasingly difficult to make the drinks, so start with the more elaborate ones and have some batched ones on hand for later on. Super Juice is also worth considering (if using citrus and want to avoid squeezing at gametime), but definitely do a test run or 2 before to gauge the distinction from using fresh fruit.

    I would build the shopping list around the core drinks you intend to have, and not worry about going much deeper than that. Also, a couple printed cocktail menus can really be helpful and make for memorable time. Hope some of this helps. Cheers!
