I can’t imagine serving my friends anything other than what I personally drink. If I had to stock liquor and additional ingredients of a lesser quality, I would need an entire additional bar.
My guest all having the same quality of drink allows me to have a better understanding of how they perceive the drink.
If I am three hours into a party and find myself in a conversation about the Jet Pilot, I don’t want to be thinking “are they drinking the good one, or cheap one?”
I have found that what a “tiki” drink is served in has a big influence on a guest perception of a drink, served in a solo cup…pretty good, in a unique tiki mug…damn good, in a hollowed out pineapple with all the bling hanging off the side…off the freaking charts! I say hollow out some pineapples, pour the good stuff, and party on! When it comes to your friends, go all in. Anything less is……well, less.

And hey I like Heineken!
