When it comes to planning an event, the drink menu is just as important as the food, entertainment, and atmosphere. Whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, or private party, guests expect a selection of crowd-pleasing beverages. Based on what we’ve seen at Your Private Bar, some drinks always stand out as guest favorites. Here are the top requested options:
1. Tito’s – The Go-To Liquor Choice
If there’s one liquor that never goes out of style at events, it’s Tito’s Handmade Vodka. It’s versatile, smooth, and consistently requested by guests. The beauty of Tito’s is how well it pairs with a variety of mixers, making it a staple behind the bar. Some of the most popular requests include:
-
Tito’s, soda, and lime – A simple and refreshing classic.
-
Tito’s cranberry (Cape Codder) – A favorite for those who love a little tartness.
-
Tito’s Bloody Mary – A brunch and wedding staple, packed with flavor and customizable garnishes.
If you’re planning an event, you can’t go wrong with having Tito’s on hand.
2. Canyon Road Wines – A Hidden Gem
Our Canyon Road wines are always a hit when served at events. While they’re only available for wholesale purchase, guests often ask about them after getting a taste. The brand offers a range of wines, but some of the top choices include:
-
Cabernet Sauvignon – A smooth, full-bodied red perfect for pairing with dinner.
-
Chardonnay – A classic choice that’s great on its own or with appetizers.
-
Pinot Grigio – Light and refreshing, making it ideal for warm-weather events.
For wine lovers, offering a well-rounded selection ensures that there’s something for everyone.
3. Craft Beer – A Must-Have at Every Event
Craft beer has been a favorite at events for years, and the trend isn’t slowing down. Whether your guests prefer a crisp lager or a hoppy IPA, having a few local favorites on tap makes all the difference. Some of the most popular choices we’ve seen include:
-
Exile Ruthie Gold Lager – A smooth and easy-drinking beer that’s always a crowd favorite.
-
Big Grove Easy Eddy IPA – A hazy, citrusy IPA that’s great for hop lovers.
-
Backpocket Lemon-Made Shandy – This refreshing summer beer was a standout hit, giving classic shandies a run for their money.
For hosts looking to impress their guests, adding a local craft beer selection is a great way to personalize the bar menu.
