For 50 guests, choose the drinks your group will enjoy from a short, varied selection rather than offering everything. Cocktailhire's guide starts at one bartender per 50 guests, with the actual order pattern and service requirements considered alongside that number.
Choose for the group, then prepare for the first round
Use the existing menu to offer contrasting flavours and an available alcohol-free choice where needed. Ask about real preferences rather than assuming every guest wants the same spirit or the same level of sweetness.
Fifty guests arriving together can create a much sharper peak than 50 people ordering throughout an evening. Mention that timing before booking and ensure the working area, glassware and ice suit the service. One bartender per 50 is a planning ratio, not a promise that 50 individual cocktails will appear at once.
- Keep the declared guest count accurate, including any later arrivals.
- Have the selected drinks and supporting supplies agreed before the event.
