We have decent sized gatherings on a regular basis at our home bar/lounge and I've started developing a system (after learning the harsh lesson of not being prepared).

First I pre-squeeze enough lemons and limes to make it through the night.

Second I make a triple serving of the Blood of the Kapu Tiki from Remixed . It's simple to whip up and packs quite a punch.

As the punch is being drank I'll start mixing doubles of Painkillers and Trader Vic Grogs, these seem to go over well with everyone so it's never hard to find someone to take the second drink.

Once the party has settled and found it's groove I can take individual orders here and there from friends who are a little more tuned in and have special requests.

Bartending all night can sometimes defeat the purpose of having friends over so it's great to be prepared. But it's always great to see our friends tune in and feel the spirit of Mahalo. That's what it's all about.
