I recently came across this oldie but a goodie article from the New York Times. It tells the story of a couple who were moving and wanted to get rid of their extra liquor bottles. So, they threw a party and hired a bartender to mix drinks for their guests.
They were able to enjoy the party and impress their guest in a low key stress free envirement. Granted the couple had many bottles of liquor that allowed guest to choose what kind of cocktail they wanted to drink. Consider a bartender for your next party whether it be a birthday party, anniversary celebration, retirement party, or just your next housewarming. I've included a 3 tips from the article that you should consider when hiring a personal bartender for your next party:
1. Feature one or two specialty drinks so you don’t have to stock a full bar. It's always fun to host a theme party and a theme drink can make it extra special.
2. Stock up on seltzer, juice, and plenty of mixers. Also, make sure you have a shaker, a strainer, and a cocktail mixing glass.
3. Avoid serving strong drinks such as martinis or manhattans. You want your guest to last the whole night. Also remember to have a non-alchoholic option.
Whether you're serving wine and beer or complicated cocktails, having someone manage the bar at your party can help you relax and enjoy the party.
