I'm trying to finalize the liquor order and would appreciate some input.
Here's what I got thus far...
While me and most my friends could easily drink this or more, I don't anticipate most guests will have 10 drinks. So I adjusted down to 1.5 drinks/hour and got 840 servings total.
I currently have distribution as follows: 25% wine, 40% spirits and 35% beer.
Roughly this breaks down to:
Thoughts/comments? This seems like quite a bit to me but I'm worried about running out. Also the owner of the liquor store I am talking to has offered to buy back liquor we don't drink. The bar tender we hired is suggesting about half what I am proposing to order.
Am I stressing myself out over nothing?
Oh yeah, bonus points....
I see America drinking the fabulous cocktails I make.
Americans getting stinky on something I stir or shake.
The Sex On The Beach, the schnapps made from peach,
The Velvet Hammer,
the Alabama Slamma!
I make things with juice and froth: the Pink Squirrel, the 3-Toed Sloth. I make drinks so sweet and snazzy:
The Iced Tea, The Kamikaze, The Orgasm, The Death Spasm,
The Singapore Sling, The Dingaling.
America you’ve just been devoted to every flavor I got.
But if you want to got loaded,
why don’t you just order a shot?

Here's what I got thus far...
- Approx 160 RSVP'd guests
- Figure 70% will drink so roughly 112 drinkers
- Many of my friends can do some serious drinking & partying. I won't be partaking at that level but I anticipate they will.
- We plan on having two signature drinks. One a sweet tea vodka and another a green apple moscato sangria.
- Will have a cocktail hour before dinner, that will allow us to do photos
- Anticipate about 5 hours total for the reception

Roughly this breaks down to:

- 9 handles (1.75L bottles) of spirits, spread using vodka, whiskey, tequila, rum & Jeremiah Weed sweet tea vodka
- 42 bottles (750ml) of wine
