From the last private view for future reference.

Budget £350:

28 cases of bottled beer (mix of peroni, corona and san miguel)
10 bags of sugar
10 packets of mint
8 limes (for corona)
5 small bottles of grenadine
10 bottles sparkling water (too much)
10 cartons orange juice (too much)
6 cartons cranberry juice
20 bags of ice (needed more like 30 and maybe 10 more for the next day)
3 corkscrews (we all forgot to bring our own)

Sponsored drinks:

36 bottles white port
12 bottles red wine
12 bottles white wine (could have used another 3-4)
Many bottles of tonic water

'Less Ordinary' cocktail recipe:

8 parts port
8 parts sugar syrup
1 part grenadine topped up with tonic and garnished with mint leaves.


Points to remember:

- Sainburys need a weeks notice for delivery of bulk orders.
- Ice needs to be bought on the day by strong people who are preferably not hungover.
- Budget for cointreau this year to make the cocktail nicer!
