Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions - we’ve got cocktails! *cough* … I mean answers.

Do you supply the alcohol?

No, hence why our name is “Send the Bartender".

If you want to make a custom liquor order, pay for it, and ask us to pick it up, well, we can work with that!

Can you bring a mobile bar?

Only with our Full Pour Experience Package (and without the liquor). And don’t expect some decked out trailer - it’s a foldable (but cute) bar from Amazon. Trust us on this.

Otherwise, we’re happy to set up wherever your bar space lives - kitchen island, vintage bathtub, a table outside? Fine by us!

Can you pick us up mixers, garnishes, and cups?

Yes! That’s part of our “Shaken & Served” and “Full Pour” packages.

Can you tell me how much stuff I need?

We’ll give you this… Quick supply formula:

  • Cups: # of guests * 2.5 = Total Cups

    • (people lose them. Plan for refills)

  • Ice: # of guests * 1.5 lbs = Total Ice

    • (Hot day or outdoor event? Round up)

  • Citrus (Lemons/Limes): # of guests / 4 = Lemons/Limes Each

    • (Sliced, wedged, and Instagram ready)

  • Mint or Herbs: # of guests / 10 = Bunches of Mint Needed

    • (Optional, for mojitos or fancy drinks)

  • Napkins: # of guests * 3 = Total Napkins

    • (It’s a lot)

  • Straws/Stirrers: # of Cups = # of Straws/Stirrers

    • (This one’s easy.)

Quick Disclaimer: if these numbers are a little off and you run out of garnishes mid-party… don’t come for us. This calculator is a vibe, not a guarantee.

Do you create custom drink menus?

You bet! With our top tier package, we create a custom cocktail menu to match your theme, vibe, or that one Pinterest board you made at 2 am.


Do guests tip the bartender?

Yes, please! And thank you! We bring a tip jar usually (tastefully done, of course).

Howeverrrr, if this isn’t your thing, no worries, just let us know how you’ll handle gratuity!

What don’t you do?

We don’t supply alcohol, food, venues, music, or your rowdy cousins. We’re here for the drinks, the vibes, and to keep your hands free and your glasses full!

Do you provide glassware or ice?

Not by default - but we can add it on! Check out our extras menu or ask when booking. Also check our vendors list ;)

What’s the biggest event you can serve?

Like… with over 150+ guests? Let’s talk.
