Alcoholic drinks at wedding reception?!
Answers:
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
if you're hiring a bartender - you should have a few basic liquors on hand....
Rum - I like Bacardi, but a lot of people like Captain Morgan and Parrot Bay
Tequila - Jose Quervo Gold is popular, along with Sauza Hornitos, but my preference is Lunazul Blanco
Vodka - Absolute works well
Triple Sec (very important in margaritas) - Hariam Walker is fine (and cheap) - Cointreau is high class, and expensive, but well worth it.
Gin - Bombay Sapphire and Plymouth are awesome
Whiskey & Burbon - Jack Daniels, and Jim Beam, respectively
Cognac - Hennessey is the popular one, but I don't really like it.
Get some cordials, like:
Di'Sarono
Grand Marnier
Baileys Irish cream
These will let you make a good number of different cocktails. You should also have some mixers on hand, and ample supply; Coke, Diet Coke, Soda Water, Sprite, Lime Juice, Lemon Juice, Mint Leaves & Sugar (mandatory for Mojitos.
1. If you go to any liquor store, they have pre-made all ready mixed alcoholic beverages. Just unscrew the top and you're all set. Don't do Smirnoff mixed fake beer drinks, just go to any actually liquor store.
2. If you are serving chicken or fish go with any white wine, for beef go red. You don't have to buy the most expensive wine but I wouldn't go for Sutter Home or any supermarket variety.
3. Ask the head chef or manager who will be working in the kitchen at the wedding, pairing with booze is all part of being a good chef!
4. Have fun!

The first two responses are good, but I am just letting you know that some weddings just serve two-three different kinds of alcohol drinks to save the hassle. I've been to some receptions that serve: wine, Oberon, and bud light. So basically wine for the women, and a quality beer like Oberon, and then a cheap light beer like Bud Light.
People never complain. It is alcohol.
ok
