Liqueurs for Open Bar

Kelly, on May 19, 2022 at 8:40 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 14

I'm definitely going to have amaro, Grand Marnier, triple sec, campari, and fruit (probably sour cherry, blackberry, and blood orange) liqueurs. I'm also considering creme de menthe, creme de cacao, schnapps, and creme de noya (made from stone fruit pits, tastes like almond). What liqueur or aperitif would you expect at an open bar? What are some of your favorite cocktails? I can't have anything with nuts in it due to guest allergies. I don't mind having extras for my home bar afterwards, in fact I'm looking forward to it. Everything listed above is made in PA, and I'd like to keep it that way if possible.

    Bailey's has a coffee liqeur?!? I thought they just did Irish cream! Both are good, though. I love Bailey's!

    Oops! It's not. I regularly confuse Bailey's and Kahlua.

    I don't know if i expect any of those at a private function, but all are nice. I think older ladies like Amaretto? Who's luggin' all the bottles back and forth to your home? They will have big muscles.

    Haha I do that too. I think both of those would be good options to have though. Your bar sounds like it'll be a super fun reception! And on behalf of the nut-allergy-having population, it's great of you to be considerate of that!

    Amaretto is a great suggestion! Just make sure you are getting one that does not contain almonds (since you are going nut-free). Some do and some don't.

    I don't want to have anything with nuts, so no amaretto. Creme de noya will replace it. There will be plenty of guys ready to show off how strong they are.

    As much as I love nuts, I'd rather have my friends safe. And I like cocktails, so I figure it'll be fun to have a nice variety at the bar.

    Thanks! I'm just going to avoid amaretto entirely so there's no ambiguity.

    This depends on your crowd and what they like. For example, our crowd doesn’t drink much if any beer or wine and they prefer hard liquor such as basics of tequila, rum, bourbon/whiskey, Irish cream, vodka, etc which can make a plethora of drinks.


    Avoid amaretto if you have any nut allergies in your group.

    I'm asking about liqueurs because liquors are easy. I'll have the basics. There will be no nuts. Creme de noya will replace amaretto.

    Ask your VIP guests but Irish Cream and Kahlua are pretty versatile.

    My guests like a variety of cocktails, so I'm trying to gauge when people in general like. I don't think anyone actually drinks Bailey's. I want to have a nice variety so people can try out fun and new cocktails.
