popular drinks at weddings?

Question

I was just hired to bartend at a banquet hall. I start tomorrow and want to be prepared so I am looking up drink recipes to memorize... what do you normall drink at weddings? It will be people of all ages

Answer 1

Most people just drink the normal cocktails. Burbon andd coke, screwdrivers, rum and coke, etc.

Answer 2

Ask the service or party that hired you if they would like you to prepare any special drinks (older folks have odd names faves you may want to know as well as any local sports bar faves) Standards are Gin and Vodka martini, Scotch and soda, G&T, 7&7, Belini (champagne cocktail) - it will really be dictated mor by what the bar is stocked with and what the age of the party goers are. For kids you can play with standard juice and soda combos and drw up a special wedding list for them (give them fun name like chocolate kiss for a chocolate syrup and soda water or angels wings for the vanilla version) Having a special coktail that reflects the happy couple is also a good tip builder for example if they love coffee have a coffee martini or if they are going to Hawaii have a honeymoon lei over and make a pineapple cocktail. The most important thing is to be quick and clean - if you aren't familiar with the drink ask the guest how to make it. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I don't think there are any typical drinks at weddings, it's all about the crowd who will be there. My wedding had tons of mixed drink drinkers. I recently went to a wedding where people where beer drinkers more than anything else.

Answer 4

At most weddings, they don't even try to offer a full range of drinks. They have scotch, bourbon, vodka, rum and gin - not even tequila. They have tomato juice, orange juice, 7-up, ginger ale, and coke for mixers. They have ice.

And they have wine, beer, and soft drinks.

It's a wedding reception, after all, not some tony bar.

Answer 5

Weddings are normally easy cause people aren't going to crazy.
Most bars with have the basics to work with...
-Red and White wine.
-A few basic beer choices, Budweiser, Bud Light, Heineken, Amstel Light should cover a good crowd.
-Vodka, Rum, Gin, Tequila, Triple Sec, Scotch, Whiskey/Bourbon, and Vermouths (Sweet/Dry).
-And mixers like Coke, Club Soda, Tonic, OJ, Cranberry, lime juice and Grenadine.

People don't expect a full bar at a banquet hall so the drinks are normally basic, Rum and coke, Gin and tonic, Vodka Cranberry, ect..
1 Part Alcohol (about 2 oz.) over ice, then fill with the mixer and add the appropriet garnish (lemon, lime, orange, or cherry).

A Few popular others are...

Martini- 2 part Gin/Vodka, 1 part Dry Vermouth. Shake with ice, pour into martini glass. Olive

Manhattan/Rob Roy- 2 part Bourbon/Scotch, 1 part Sweet Vermouth. Shake with ice, pour into martini glass. Cherry.

Cosmo- 2 part Vodka, .5oz Triple Sec, Dash of lime juice, about 1 oz cranberry. Shake with ice, pour into martini glass. Lime

Wine Spritzers- Over ice in high ball, half white/red wine, half club soda. Lime with the white wine spritzer.

Madras- Over ice in high ball, one part Vodka, one part cranberry, one part OJ.

You'll serve a lot of wine, and you should have other sodas for the kids.

Good luck.
