Menu questions
About the cocktail menu
Can I mix drinks from different menus?
Yes. Most events pick a handful of favourites across the Signature, Classic and Non-Alcoholic menus. Every menu is customised to your event style, guest preferences and venue.
Can you create a custom cocktail for my event?
Yes. We design tailored cocktail menus around your event, season and guests, including signature cocktails named for a couple, a brand or an occasion, then garnish and serve them as the centrepiece of the bar.
How many cocktails should be on the menu?
Four to six, alongside beer, wine and a mocktail. A focused list means faster service, consistent drinks and no queue. Larger events with more bartenders can carry a longer menu.
Which ingredients do I need to buy on a BYO package?
Only the alcohol. On The Barmen Plus we supply the non-alcoholic ingredients, fresh juice, syrups, garnish, ice and glassware. Once your menu is confirmed we send a purchasing list with brands and quantities.
Do you cater for guests who don’t drink?
Yes. The Non-Alcoholic menu has fourteen mocktails, including Lyre’s zero-alcohol Espresso Martini and Margarita, and soft drinks are always on the bar. Alcohol is never served to underage guests.
Can we learn to make the cocktails ourselves?
Yes. The Professors package is a hosted cocktail masterclass where your group makes and drinks cocktails from these menus. It runs in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast and is popular for team building and pre-parties.
