How it works
Three steps from first email to last call.
01
Tell us about your party
Date, guest count, and the drinks you love. Have a favorite cocktail from a local bar? We'll recreate it.
02
Get your menu and shopping list
We send a custom menu, a clear quote, and an exact shopping list sized to your guest count. No guesswork, no waste.
03
We set up, pour, and clean up
We arrive an hour early with juices, syrups, garnishes, and tools, then take care of the bar so you can enjoy your party.

Questions
Do I buy the alcohol?
Yes. We send an exact shopping list after booking, and you keep whatever is left over. You also provide ice and glassware.
How far ahead should I book?
We recommend booking at least two weeks ahead. Dates fill on a first-come basis, so send an inquiry and we will check our calendar right away.
Where do you serve?
Anywhere within 60 miles of Boston at no extra charge. We are happy to travel farther for a travel fee, so inquire with your location.
How do I hold my date?
A deposit holds your date, and the balance is due on the day of the event. We send a secure payment link for both.
Can you make a drink I had at a restaurant?
Usually, yes. Tell us the drink and where you had it, and we will recreate it as closely as we can.
Do you serve non-drinkers?
Every event includes a mocktail made with our own Wicked Bess shrubs, so everyone gets a real drink.
Check your date
Tell us a little about your party. We'll check your date against our calendar and reply within 24 hours with availability and next steps. Larger events and locations beyond 60 miles of Boston are quoted individually.
