Some info on the bar would be useful - they're willing to do it either way. I'm pretty sure we're likely to go over $500 on the bar, and I have a full list of what all the possible alcohol costs. Should I post, wine list and all?
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Hmm...I think it might be easier if people could post their specific top-shelf brand/specialty requests for hard liquor. Most of us will probably be all right with a standard bar setup.
How big is the wine list?

(I'll start.)
My preferred vodka is Ketel One, and if there could be some Starbucks liqueur on hand for espresso martinis, I'd be much obliged.

And yep, a list of what's wanted in liquor preferences would be a very good thing to pass on to Lilibeth. She's wide open to making this is close to perfect as possible.

In New Orleans we opted for the open bar option since we knew we had to make a similar mark in booze sales anyway.

Jameson is my booze of choice. Though if it's warm out probably gin. Otherwise beer is good for me. Sierra Nevada or Stella or something or Budweiser.

I'm going to mark Jessica's first post, so that I can list from there. Otherwise I'll get hopelessly lost, and forget choices. Since the only booze I like is very dry and has bubbles in it, I have no personal mental reference points.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
And if people actually make it down on time, would definitely be worth it.

For Vodka I like Ketel One, Tequila I like Porfidio or Patron, Gin is Bombay Sapphire...what? Me drink? I'd also love to have some single malt scotch there. Anyone else have input? Maybe we can have them get a good bottle of single malt that we can kill that night. 18 Year Highland Park is good, Oban over 14 years is also good and usually not a total killer on the bank account.

ND, we can also have a bottle or two in the hospitality suite.
