5 Reasons To Hire Professional Bartenders For Parties + Drink Suggestions

Throwing a memorable party requires careful planning as there are many things you need to pay attention to. For one, you need to decide what kind of party you want to throw, buy props and decor for the same, set up the perfect playlist, and the list goes on and on. However, there is one thing that (usually) takes center stage at every party – the drinks! We’ve all heard the saying before, “You don’t need to drink to have fun”. True, but it certainly does help! That is why hiring bartenders for parties can be a great idea!

The Importance of Bartenders For Parties to Pull Off an Epic Event

Since drinks are considered one of the most important aspects of parties, you should treat them with utmost attention. After all, there are people who attend parties just to kick a few cold ones and call it a night! Therefore, you need to think about what you’ll serve, and after you’ve made your menu, to ensure that you get enough of everything. But if you’ve ever hosted a party, you know this is not the easiest thing to do. You can never know exactly how much people are going to drink, and your estimate might be off. Additionally, some people may request special types of drinks, and because the host is usually the one tending the bar, it’s up to you to make it. Since you’re not a professional bartender, you don’t have a clue how to make it. Be honest – do you even know what a Corpse Reviver is?

Naturally, this may create some cause for concern for your next party since you want everyone to have a good time with their preferred drink in hand. But since you’re not a pro, you need to rely on someone else, specifically – a bartender. Luckily for you, in addition to being epic party hosts, our Cabana Boys are masters behind the bar! They can whip up a Dirty Martini in the blink of an eye. Plus, because they make them so good, you’ll come back wanting more! It goes without saying that professional mixologists make parties much more enjoyable, especially for the person hosting them. If you’re still considering whether you need one, here are a few reasons why hiring a pro bartender for your next bash is a must! And you’ll also want to stick around until the end, as we’ll share some of the boys’ favorite drink suggestions.

1. 5-Star Service

There’s a common misconception about bartenders, as some believe they only pour drinks and nothing else. We cannot tell you how wrong this is. Mixology is truly an art form. Trust us, even a drip of more than the suggested amount can screw up the entire drink. We’ve all been in a situation where we’re served watered-down drinks that don’t even taste remotely close to how they should. On the other hand, cocktails that are spiked with too much alcohol only provide the invitation for hugging the toilet and staying there the entire night, so that’s a big no-no.

Hiring a bartender for your party will make sure that none of this happens! They will serve the drinks like the pros that they are. Furthermore, they will ensure that they taste exactly as you remember them. Additionally, our Cabana Boys will keep the bar stocked and tidy and pour the beverages at the speed of light, ensuring that everyone is refreshed and satisfied. To put it simply, poor bar service is out of the question with our boys!

2. Bartenders For Hire Will Help You Get Everything You Need 

Ask anyone you want what the most difficult part of party planning is. With a guarantee, you’ll get the same answer – getting the drinks. As we said before, it’s pretty difficult to draw up an estimate of how many drinks you’ll need and what you’ll need to buy as well. Of course, whenever you ask for advice on the matter, the most typical answer you’ll receive is the more, the merrier! But not all of us are sleeping on piles of money. This means that buying 20 bottles of liquor for a 10-person party is not a luxury many can afford. This is where bartenders for parties will help you out!

Professional bartenders know the bar in the back of their heads. Because they’ve been a part of countless events, they know how many drinks you’ll need depending on the size of the party. For instance, for a simple 10-person gathering, you’ll need around 50 cans of brewskis, along with a bottle of vodka, gin, tequila, and some juices for mixing. Of course, if you want cocktails for your party, our bartenders for hire will tell you everything you need to purchase so they can serve them. So, to be more budget-friendly, instead of splurging your money for liquor that won’t even be drunk in the end, use it to hire our Cabana Boys – a win-win deal!

3. Professional Bartenders Will Make You Feel Like A Guest

There’s nothing worse than throwing a party you won’t enjoy a second of! Since you’re the host, you’re expected to take care of everything, including the drinks. Given that you’re not a professional, the bar might start getting crowded, but not in a good way. In the end, your slow service – though it’s not your fault – can result in disappointed guests and a dud party.

With bartenders for parties, this isn’t a possibility! Due to their expertise, everyone will be walking around having the time of their life while sipping on their favorite drink. And when we say everyone, that means you as well! Our Cabana Boys will keep the drinks and the party rolling. So don’t be surprised if you feel like a guest at one point. After all, that’s our goal!

4. No Overly-Drunk Guests

As we said before, some people use parties as an excuse to drink. While everything’s cool when they’re having it in moderation, there are cases where the alcohol is too much for them. Of course, this results in foolish behavior that is quite the party killer. But since you’re the host, it’s not polite to ask them to leave. Unless they’re making a scene, of course, which can frustrate you.

Well, professional mixologists have an eye for people who’ve had one too many, so they can cut them off before they start making a fool of themselves. And while your instincts may drive you to prevent them from drinking alcohol altogether, our Cabana Boys have special techniques that will pull this off discretely. In the end, your party will be the talk of the town with no drunkies in sight!

5. Professional Mixologists Have No Problem Making Any Drink

Although your secret party drink might be making alcohol disappear, specifically cocktails, making them is a completely different story. Even if you follow drink recipes down to the T, it won’t have the same taste because, unfortunately, you’re not a pro.

Bartenders for parties, on the other hand, are the complete opposite! They can create all kinds of cocktails without breaking a sweat and will even include a special twist that you’ll surely adore. However, remember to note that you want cocktails featured at your party so the bartender can tell you the essentials. Cabana Boys doesn’t offer a drink supply, so this is the only thing you’ll need to take care of. The rest is up to us!

Iconic Cocktails

As promised, we’ll share some of the drink suggestions that our Cabana Boys swear by, providing an experience for your guests that will be remembered for a long time!

• Whiskey Sour – The Sour family of cocktails has sated drinkers for over a century, and Whiskey Sour is the face! Interestingly enough, this cocktail doesn’t even include “standard” whiskey, but rather bourbon! All you need is a bottle of bourbon, some lemons, simple syrup, and ice. Its zesty taste will easily beat the summer heat, making it perfect for pool parties!
• Dirty Martini – Sex and The City-inspired bachelorette parties are incomplete without the world-famous Dirty Martini! Sorry, let us get into our Carrie Bradshaw and rephrase that – “…and I wonder – will your bachelorette party be complete without a Dirty Martini?”
• Pink Negroni – The Barbie mania has also taken over drinks, including our Cabana Boys! More and more party-goers have requested the Pink Negroni not only because of its color but its taste as well! 

With this, we conclude our reasons for why hiring bartenders for parties is the best thing you can do for your bash. Apart from super service, our Cabana Boys will raise the vibes through the roof, all the while serving drinks and cocktails that are to die for! So, if you have a party coming up and want to wow your guests, give us a contact. Let’s give them an event that they will remember for a lifetime!
