How Do You Build a Cocktail Menu for Mixed Age Guests

Choose for the adults' actual preferences rather than guessing from their ages. A useful event menu offers recognisably different flavours and a clear alcohol-free choice, without making every guest work through a long list.

Give people different choices for a reason

Ask a few simple questions: do guests tend to prefer citrus, fruit-led drinks or richer flavours, and how many adults are likely to choose alcohol-free options? Use the existing Cocktailhire menu to cover those preferences rather than selecting several very similar drinks.

Keep the labels clear and confirm which options are genuinely available without alcohol. Children need their own suitable drinks provision; do not treat them as cocktail demand or remove them from the attendance information. The event's real guest count and the number of cocktail drinkers answer different planning questions.

  • Choose a useful flavour spread from the existing menu.
  • Separate total attendance from the expected demand for each drink type.

Include alcohol-free choices properly.
