The calculator uses the mixers formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation multiplies the total number of expected drinks by the mixer quantity per drink to determine total mixer volume needed.
Details: Accurate mixer calculation prevents running out of supplies during the party while avoiding unnecessary expenses from over-purchasing. It helps with budget planning and ensures all guests can enjoy their preferred beverages.
Tips: Enter the number of guests, estimate drinks per guest based on party duration and guest preferences, and specify the mixer amount per drink. Consider having a 10-20% buffer for unexpected consumption.
Q1: How many drinks per guest should I estimate?
A: Typically 2-3 drinks per guest for the first hour and 1 drink per hour thereafter. Adjust based on your crowd and event type.
Q2: What's a standard mixer amount per drink?
A: Most cocktails use 3-6 ounces of mixer per drink, but this varies by recipe. Common mixers include soda, juice, and tonic water.
Q3: Should I round up when calculating bottles?
A: Yes, always round up to the nearest whole bottle to ensure you have enough supplies. It's better to have extra than run out.
Q4: How do I account for different drink preferences?
A: Consider offering 2-3 mixer options and calculate each separately, or use an average mixer consumption across all drink types.
Q5: What about non-alcoholic drinkers?
A: Include all guests in your count, as many will consume non-alcoholic mixed drinks. Adjust drinks per guest accordingly for your specific crowd.
