My\u00a0clients frequently\u00a0ask\u00a0“how much liquor will I need for my party?”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It can depend on several factors including time of day, and how many hours\u00a0your party is going to last.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Whether you are throwing a party for friends or a\u00a0wedding reception, its always a good idea to choose a variety of beverages. Just remember if you are purchasing the alcohol you assume the liability for all your guests that evening. There are some\u00a0 insurance companies that provide one day home\u00a0owner liquor liability, that is based on how many guests are attending. I heard it can be quite costly, talk to your\u00a0agent about options.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You can figure on average that guests will drink 2 drinks the first hour and then 1 drink the next hour, \u00a0ect.<\/div>\n
\u00a0So based on 50 people you will serve around 250 drinks during the party. A 1.75L bottle of alcohol will serve around 32 drinks.<\/div>\n
When purchasing wine it’s more economical to purchase a case rather than by the\u00a0bottle.<\/div>\n
You\u00a0can figure around\u00a0 4 cocktail napkins per person, also remember to stock enough\u00a0glasses so that your guests can trade their used glass in for a fresh one more than once.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here is what you need based on 50 guests at a 4 hour party\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/div>\n
3-4 22lb bags of ice<\/div>\n
Lemons<\/div>\n
Limes<\/div>\n
Cherries<\/div>\n
Olives<\/div>\n
1- Bottle of triple sec<\/div>\n
1- Bottle of roses lime<\/div>\n
1- Case of white wine<\/div>\n
1- case of red wine<\/div>\n
1- 1.75L bottle of vodka<\/div>\n
( Small\u00a0bottles)<\/div>\n
!- Gin<\/div>\n
1-Bourbon<\/div>\n
1- Scotch<\/div>\n
1-Caniadian Club<\/div>\n
1-Jack Daniels<\/div>\n
1-Light Rum<\/div>\n
1- Spiced Rum<\/div>\n
4- Bottles of tonic<\/div>\n
3-4 Bottles of Diet Coke, Sprite<\/div>\n
5 – Cases of Beer.. 2 Light\u00a0, 2 regular, 1 imported<\/div>\n
2- Cases of bottled water<\/div>\n
Another option\u00a0for consideration is purchasing a few cordials, although this is more frequently done\u00a0 at wedding receptions. Check with the liquor store in your area to see if they sell on consignment basis, that way you\u00a0can return any liquor not used, ( all labeling needs to be intact).<\/div>\n
Of course if you would prefer to enjoy your party for a change you\u00a0should consider hiring a bartender to help you.<\/div>\n
