Event Bartenders' cocktail catering service builds a custom drink menu around your event — not a generic bar list, but cocktails chosen for your guests, your theme, and your bar style. Our bartenders are skilled at both classic and craft mixology, so whether you want a tight menu of three signature cocktails or a full bar with a dozen options, we plan it with you in advance and execute it with the same care as the rest of your event. This pairs well with weddings, corporate events, and private parties alike, whenever the drink experience matters as much as the food.

Our process
Share your event and vision
Event type, guest count, and any drink preferences or themes submitted through our quote form.
Build your cocktail menu together
We collaborate on a drink list — from a few signature cocktails to a full craft bar — that fits your guests and your budget.
We source specialty ingredients
House-made syrups, fresh garnishes, and specialty spirits (if hosted) sourced ahead of your event.
We set up a full craft bar
Glassware, tools, and ingredients arrive ready for proper cocktail technique, not just pouring.
Guests enjoy the menu you designed
Bartenders execute your cocktail menu consistently all night, shaken and stirred the right way.
Full breakdown after last call
We break down and clean the bar area at the end of the night.
Pricing
Cocktail catering is priced by guest count, drink menu complexity, and hours of service — a three-cocktail signature menu and a full craft bar aren't the same investment. Share your vision through our quote form and we'll put together transparent pricing that matches it.
Serving your venue, anywhere in Denver metro
Denver's craft cocktail culture runs deep, from RiNo and LoHi's cocktail bars to Cherry Creek's upscale lounges, and we build menus that hold up to that standard. Whether your event is downtown, in the suburbs, or at a mountain venue, we bring the same craft-bar approach to the cocktail menu.

Frequently asked questions
Can you design a completely custom cocktail menu for our event?
Yes — custom cocktail menu planning is the core of this service. We'll work with you on flavors, themes, and any signature drinks you want named for the occasion.
Do you provide the specialty ingredients, like house-made syrups or fresh garnishes?
Yes — we source specialty ingredients as part of the cocktail catering package so the drinks taste like they came from a real cocktail bar, not a folding table.
Is cocktail catering more expensive than a standard bar package?
It's typically priced a bit higher than a basic beer-and-wine setup, reflecting the ingredients and technique involved, but it's still built around your guest count and budget.
Can we do a tasting before the event?
For larger events, we're often able to arrange a menu consultation or tasting — ask when you request your quote and we'll see what we can set up.
Do we need to supply the alcohol for cocktail catering?
In most cases yes — you supply the spirits and we supply the staff, technique, mixers, and specialty ingredients. Fully hosted packages are available on request.
Can you make non-alcoholic craft mocktails too?
Yes — a mocktail menu with the same care and presentation as the cocktail menu is a common add-on, especially for mixed-age or dry-curious guest lists.
How many signature cocktails should we offer?
Most events do well with 2-4 signature cocktails plus standard bar options, so guests have a curated choice without overwhelming the bar line. We'll recommend based on your guest count.
Do your bartenders have real mixology experience, or just bar-tending basics?
Our bartenders are trained in both standard bar service and craft cocktail technique — shaking, stirring, and garnishing to the standard of Denver's cocktail bar scene.
What events is cocktail catering best suited for?
It works well for weddings, corporate events, and milestone private parties — anywhere the drink experience is meant to stand out alongside the food and atmosphere.
