Spirits

One bottle (approximately .750ml) provides roughly 20 to 24 drinks.

Purchasing Guidelines

Always make sure you have enough beverages on hand to supply your guests. Since most parties average a span of 2 to 4 hours you should plan on each guest having at least three or four drinks for the first two hours. This should help in deciding how much to buy for your next event.
