Flexible party planner
Start with the people, the food and the mood — then build the drinks.
Not every gathering fits a label. This version starts from the practical questions: how many people, how long, what food, how formal and what you want the drinks to contribute.
Live party planner
Put some numbers around the night.
Change the guest count, duration and budget. We’ll turn that into a conservative stock estimate and a practical service shape for this kind of occasion.
1 bottle
Approx. six small glasses per 75cl bottle.
2 bottles
Approx. six 125ml glasses per 75cl bottle.
7
Individual bottles or cans in the suggested mix.
1 bottle
6 cocktail serves in the mix; base bottle estimate assumes roughly 50ml spirit per serve.
13 serves
Includes deliberate AF provision plus some extra choice for the whole group.
15L / 4kg
A practical minimum starting point; warm weather usually needs more.
The mix is tailored to a something else and is meant as a starting point. Swap categories freely: fewer cocktails and more wine, more alcohol-free, or no fizz at all.
Turn the plan into a basket
You have the quantities. Now choose what fills them.
Choose the bottles, cans and alcohol-free options that match the quantities above, then keep them together in your Sipping Basket.
A shape that works
Give the evening a beginning, middle and finish.
Define the job
Decide whether drinks are the main event, part of a meal or simply there to support the gathering.
Choose two anchors
Pick two categories that fit the group, then add alcohol-free and water.
Keep editing
Remove anything that adds work without adding much enjoyment.
What matters most
Start with guests and food, not bottles.
Limit the number of drink categories.
Give yourself an easy service plan before adding clever details.
Build the interesting bits
Take the plan into the rest of Sipping.
Hosting checklist
Make the practical bits disappear before guests arrive.
