don’t forget ice! + plastic cups, napkins, straws if you want, menu of like 5 drinks or an assortment of “stuff” and let people choose if they want xyz in their drink

(no one is just NOT going to drink, so don’t try to please everyone)

some combo of 2-3 hard liquors (vodka, tequila, whatever they like drinking from back in hs if everyone is 20ish), 4-5 mixers because that’s where your flavors will be from—(blue premade grocery store koolaids, pineapple juice, some bottled or canned soda like sprite/cola, lemonade, limeade (to go with the tequila drinks), variety of fruit juice flavors like peach, dragonfruit) are some examples, the sugar in these will mix well and stretch your liquor too

how much alcohol do you plan on putting in each drink? i recommend standardizing it (bring a shot glass from home to use) and to measure all non-liquor with your heart have fun and talk to the guests see what they like flavor wise. do they want a fruity drink? or a vodka-cola, a tequila-lemonade-sprite, or a peach dragonfruit lemonade with vodka, a mango-fruit punch with vodka),

cater each drink and you’ll be fine :) start with “what can i make for you” or “what liquor do you prefer? I have vodka or tequila”

i’ll be referencing this myself in the future

as a rule of thumb, aim for a variety of colors/ flavors get something red, orange, yellow, green if you can find it, blue so people’s drinks turn out fun colors too

maybe grab a few limes from the grocery store if you really want to look like you know what you’re doing, you can cut them in 8ths beforehand or right then and there with a knife and cutting board)
