Subject: Bottle Party!! Good idea or bad?
From: Jerry
Posted: Thu Dec 9. 2004, 04:54 UTC
Hi Pros,
I've been talking to a couple friends about having a bottle party. Everyone 
invited brings a bottle. One will bring juices, one apple pucker, one gin, and 
so on.
I figure 30 - 50 people, so the bottles should make close to a full bar with 
extras, like vodka and ice.
Here is question number one:
Have any of you done this? How did it turn out?

So, at this party, I make the 50 most popular drinks.
Here is question number two:
What are the 50 most popular drinks? I work at an upper-class steak house and 
it's all manhattans, martinis, cosmopolitans, old fashions, you know, the 
"traditional" drinks. I've made one captain coke and one kamakaze since I've 
been there (about 2 months). The age group will be from early 20's to late 
40's, so the range of drinks could go from "traditional" to "shooters".

I mentioned I would compile a list from the bartenders in the forum and we 
would pick 50 from that list.
Most of the invites are going to my "inner circle" of friends, with a few I 
don't know, so "security" isn't going to be an issue. All keys are collected 
at the door upon arrival. Yes, it's going to be a sleep-over. NO ONE LEAVES 
AFTER EVEN ONE DRINK!!!!
I know a few musicians and I'm thinking of having a "live" band. They're not 
the best, but it's all for fun (and they're free!).

The reason for this "bottle party", is to gain experience making alot of 
drinks "now" and making them fast.

Have any of you tried this before?
Am I crazy for this idea?
Am I missing anything?
What are the 50 most popular drinks?
You don't have to give the recipe, just the name of the drink. I'll look up 
the recipe (if I don't have it or know it) on the webtender.
Thanks for the info, ideas, help and support.
Jer
