List Only

Can someone help me make a list of popular mixed drinks?

I will be having a wedding reception in September, and alcohol is expensive, but most of the guests do drink, as well as my fiance and I. We are planning to have beer, but I don't like beer, so I'd like to have mixed drinks. We have someone who will be playing bartender, but I need help creating a list of drinks for the guests to choose from. I'd like to shoot for at least 10 different drinks, but no more than 15 or 20, or it will get expensive. I know Tequila Sunrise, Sloe Screw, and Screwdriver will all be on the list. What else should I have?

6. First thing is keep the drinks low in alcohol as it is a wedding not a drunken bar so nix deadly drinks like long island ice tee and keep to single alcohol drinks is recommended
7. even 10 is far too many. Keep it simple and keep the alcohol level low or you may end up with problems at your reception you didnt count on. I suggest a few drinks that an be premade and served from pitchers or punchbowls. Let your bartender portion out the drinks to keep eveyone from overindulging. With many guests it can soon beccome ovewhelming for 1 bartender if he has to custom make everything. You want the lines to run smoothly. 1. Mimosa - inexpensive champagne mixed with orange juice. 2. Punch - rum, coke and hawaiian punch ( is a fall wedding used a spiced rum) 3. Daiquiri - lime or strawberry 4. Madras - vodka, orange juice, cranberry juice 5. Margarita - lime or strawberry 6. Jack Daniels and coke That covers all the major liquors - champagne, rum, vodka, tequila and whiskey. All can be premade and taste alright even when made with inferior quality alchol and can all be premade..
8. If you are a fan of Dr. Pepper try replacing Coke for it.
9. 1. Piña Colada 2. Rum and Coke 3. Apple Martini 4. Any Liquor + Any Soda Those are must haves, the most basic of drinks, but also the most served --------------------- 4. Cosmopolitan 5. Kamakazi 6. Sex on the Beach 7. Hurricane 8. Manhattan 9. Bahams Mama 10. Grasshopper 11. White Russian These are the fancier mixed drinks, but most popular. edit: I forgot the margaritas! Strawberry or Lime, usually strawberry is tastier and the ladies go for it more. Men usually want the Rum and Coke, screwdriver, hurricane, you know.. the strong stuff. You might be surprised, a lot of people will be drinking beer. The old ones will most likely be drinking those margaritas ;)
