Not really. Some better than others, some really suck. Dont know what brands you have available so I can't recommend one over any other. It all comes down to your guests. If you are serving 'fine cocktails' to a typically beer drinking crowd, then mix is cool because that is about all 'they' are expecting. If you are serving 'fine cocktails' to a crowd that typically drinks fine cocktails, the mix will be understood by virtue of being at a large party. Ultimately it comes down to this.... If you are going to go to the trouble to mix some drinks for your guest, make them the best drinks you can. I am sure you have at least one or two people on your guest list that you trust enough to allow behind your bar, chat them up and get them to lend you a hand. It will make it more interesting for everyone and you can even make it a bit of the entertainment to bring in 'tonight's special guest bartender'. Good luck! And your drink menu sounds really yummy. |
