The ice maker will be firing, Penny has bought a heap of  plastic cocktail cups for the trip.  ;D

Just start listing the ingredients you have and it will start listing the cocktails you can make. Got a bit of a workout over Xmas.

There will be some surprises for the cocktail nights.

Friends of ours put one on a while back, for something like 40 guests - awesome night ;D (but the next day was rather slow :'()

The way Jules did it was that each person was told they had to bring 1 bottle of this alcohol / liqueur, which all went to the bar on arrival. They also had a prepared list of cocktails, along with a mate who knew how to make them, so throughout the night it was "I'll try one of them"

Same idea would probably work for all of you ???

I don't think it's the size of the bar that does the damage, it's the contents  :angel:

I'm bringing a stick blender otherwise known as a barmix, maybe i should add a cocktail shaker.  Never thought about that as a camping item??
