Alcohol

We are just doing 3 beers and red and white wine. You could make the jack a signature drink, like jack and coke.

Do they have a bartender for soft drinks and the alcohol you provide ? If so, providing some liquors that the bartenders can mix with the sodas they’re pouring is definitely not weird at all. If it’s all self serve, that gets a bit more complicated, and messy, so I’d either skip liquor or go for signature cocktails— pre-mixing a large bay of something and having it available in a dispenser or pitcher (a light liquor based option and a dark liquor based option are popular choices). I know jack and coke tends to be pretty popular! (Though my crowd tend to prefer whisky straight )

I would recommend vodka as it goes with virtually anything! Will you have any cranberry juice or other non-carbonated drinks? Jack Daniels goes well with coke or on the rocks. Maybe come up with a signature drink utilizing the liquor you decide to bring? That's a fun thing to do!

I would do Jack and Vodka for you liquor! They are so popular and easy to mix with! Sodas, juices or even just some fruit. For beer I would do like a Bud product, corona and maybe a yuengling (my personal favorite lol) gives them a little variety.

For me, I am doing a beer keg (we haven't decided if we're doing one or 2) rum and coke and vodka and cranberry. Keeping it very limited, and very simple. No wine, no champagne! If folks don't like beer or rum and coke or vodka and cran, they can have water, juice or soda! Works great for me. But I personally like your idea!! For me, that's what we're having dark rum and vodka. One dark, one clear to allow for a selection choice!

View Quoted Comment Thanks we have a bevmo that had some crazy awesome specials on wine it wouldn’t be too much more. And I’m keeping an eye out on the jack as well. Thank you

View Quoted Comment They actually will provide a bartender for not too much more I think just 100 dollars extra for the whole night which I think is crazy cheap. I would much rather pay for some sort of regulation back there to keep things orderly.

View Quoted Comment Looks like the popular vote is going to jack and vodka lol

View Quoted Comment I like your idea too! And I think everyone is right about the ease of mixing things. Vodka and jack make the most sense

View Quoted Comment Thanks tara vodka seems the way to go

Costco for whatever you decide!

View Quoted Comment I second that, they excellent prices and whatever you don't use you can return without the receipt

I would do vodka or rum to mix and maybe a tequila if your vendor provides mixers for it. You’ll need to play along with that they have so it makes sense and not just provide any alcohol that might go to waste. Tequila is always useful for shots but you can do those with vodka as well. Whisky is recommended for those that like to drink it by itself and if is popular among your group of people. Two options for beer and red and white wine is perfect!
