Default Open Bar?

What does everyone do about alcohol?

Do you have an open bar where the guests make their own drinks?

Or do you make everyone's drinks?

Since we have a bar in our home, if it is a small gathering John will make the drinks. Sometimes, we place wine in different areas for self serve.

If we are having a large gathering, we hire a bartender from the country club to help.

I also always make a cocktail punch at another station that is self serve! I place a recipe card by it so everyone knows what they're drinking.

When Ed was a young Marine Corps NCO, he did some moonlight bartending and still mixes a fine drink, so he tends to do the bartending at most of our functions.

We use an open bar for larger, more casual parties.

We also have a bar in our game room which we use once in a while for entertaining. Just set up the bottles and let everyone help themselves.

I start off offering to make them something and let it migrate to self-serve.

I think John likes to stand behind the bar and make the drinks, that way all the people come to him to visit!!!!
