Build a smaller menu
Two cocktails sharing a base spirit and mixer are easier to stock than six unrelated recipes. Add one good alcohol-free serve using the same garnishes.

How many bottles, mixers and bags of ice?
Set the guest count, the number of servings you want available and your menu mix. We turn it into a shopping estimate—not a drinking target.
Your stocking assumptions
The remaining alcoholic share is treated as beer/cider. If spirit + wine exceeds 100%, beer is set to zero.

A stock estimate is not a drinking target. Provide water, food and appealing alcohol-free options; nobody needs to finish what is purchased.
Measure every pour
Bottle estimates only work when the measure is consistent. Use a jigger and label batches clearly; keep water visible and never pressure guests to drink.
Next: choose bottles for the menu or generate cocktails from what you own.
