By Chris Carr


The whole reason MixYour Drink.com came into being, is to give people a place to find fantastic cocktail recipes, advice and tips on their favourite beers and spirits. We set out to give people an online portal to help them when it came to the what, when why and how of drinks. So a question we go asked recently by friends wanting to throw a party, was should they supply drinks for a party ? we wanted to take a look at that question:

MixYourDrink.com is an online portal that gives people an opportunity to find cocktail recipes, advice and tips on their favourite beers, wines and spirits.

There is a certain social expectation that some parties will be catered for.

Milestone Birthdays - Generally, are catered for on some level. Perhaps wine and beer would be provided to a certain amount: For an 18th or 21 st. some Spirits and beer could be supplied. There is the option to have BYO or to have a bar tab to a limit that is affordable. A lot of these options would depend on the actual location of the intended party.

Engagements and Weddings: Generally drinks are supplied at these functions. Beer and wine is the accepted beverage that is supplied. On occasions some spirits may be supplied, however often it is suggested that spirit drinkers buy their own at the bar.

Gathering of Friends: This is where you have options to suit the occasions and the friendships. Most people hosting an intimate dinner party supply the drinks to suit the menu. However it's a rare event that an intimate friend doesn't arrive armed with a bottle of wine or two. Some guests may prefer to bring their favourite beverage for their own consumption.

A friend and party rager - will almost always have an expectation of BYO.

Hosting a cocktail is another popular thing to do. Invite a few good friends and ask them to each bring a bottle of their favourite spirits and take turns mixing cocktail for the evening. If there are no recipes available, check out our recipe page for some exciting cocktails you are able to make. Otherwise there is an excellent selection of cocktail books available on the market.

As a drinks for a party idea, you could always throw a cocktail party, and ask your friends to bring a bottle of spirits each, then take turns in making cocktails. If you are struggling for cocktail ideas, you can either visit our drink recipe page, or buy a book on making amazing cocktails.

Supplying drinks for a party really is a personal choice, so never be offended when invited to a party if your are asked to bring your own. Whatever the occasion, having a few drinks with good friends can be a most enjoyable event.
