Party &
Entertaining Guide
Having a party? Wondering how much wine or spirits to
have on hand?
Determine how many guests you expect, multiply that number
by the number or hours your party is scheduled to last and that will give you
the number of servings based on "one serving per hour per
person". For example: if you will have 25 guests and your party
will last four hours, multiply 25 x 4 for a total of 100. You should plan
on 100 servings.
If you are serving wine and/or champagne, here's a guide on
how many 5 oz. servings you can expect from different sized bottles:
| 750 ML (25.4 oz.) |
5 Servings |
| 1 Liter (33.8 oz.) |
6 Servings |
| 1.5 Liter (50.7 oz.) |
10 Servings |
| 3 Liter (101 oz.) |
20 Servings |
| 4 Liter (135 oz.) |
27 Servings |
If you are serving liquor for mixed drinks, here's a guide on
how many 1.5 oz. liquor servings per bottle:
| 750 ML (25.4 oz.) |
16 Servings |
| 1 Liter (33.8 oz.) |
22 Servings |
| 1.75 Liter (59.2 oz.) |
39 Servings |

Cure For Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

A string walks into a bar and orders a drink. Looking at the string, the bartender said, "Sorry, we don't serve strings."
"What? That sucks," said the string. So the string walks into the bathroom and ties himself up and messes up his ends. A couple moments later he comes back out and approaches the bar again and again orders a drink.
"Hey, aren't you that string?" asks the bartender.
"Nope. I'm a frayed knot."
(sorry...just couldn't resist this
one)

A guy walked into a bar with
an octopus. He sat the octopus down on a stool and tells everyone in the bar
that this is a very talented octopus, and he can play any instrument in the
world. Everyone in the crowd laughs at him. So he says he will wager fifty
dollars to anyone who has an instrument that the octopus can't play.
A guy walked up with a guitar and sat it beside the octopus.
The octopus started playing better than Jimi Hendrix. So the man paid his fifty
dollars. Another guy walked up with a trumpet, The octopus played the trumpet
better than Dizzy Gillespie. So the man paid his fifty dollars.
A third guy walked up with bagpipes. He sat them down and the
octopus fumbled with it, looking confused. "HA!", the man said,
"can't you play it?" The octopus looked up at the man and said,
"Play it? I'm going to screw it as soon as I get its pajamas off."

Hair of the Dog
Can work sometime
But never for me
I suffered through mine
I swore I would never
Mix my toddys again
But once I felt better
I drank 'till insane
So the moral of this story
Is really quite clear
If you're going to indulge
Don't blend booze with your beer!

Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and
sauces.
-
Quick Dessert Idea: Heat fresh or frozen berries in a
fry pan with sugar to taste; add a little rum or fruit liqueur and allow the
alcohol to boil off. Serve hot over ice cream or pound cake.

If you are having a party and need extra ice
cubes, use plastic egg cartons to make extra ice cubes
(which will be round.)
