At a confirmation party everyone wants something good in their glass, young and old. A non-alcoholic cocktail bar goes down well with every age group and is easy to put together: glasses, syrups and mixers, and a bartender if you would rather enjoy the day than stand behind the bar.
What does a non-alcoholic cocktail bar need?
- Glasses. Highball glasses for long drinks cost ISK 190 each, and cocktail glasses ISK 249. Plan for 2–3 glasses per guest.
- Syrups and purée. Raspberry, strawberry, green apple, vanilla and passion fruit give plenty of variety. See syrups and purée.
- Mixers and juice. Soda water, ginger beer, tonic and fresh lemon or lime juice.
- Bartender. Mixes non-alcoholic cocktails for the confirmand and their friends. ISK 8,990 per hour.
Price example: 60 guests and a bartender for 3 hours
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Bartender for 3 hours | ISK 26,970 |
| 150 highball glasses (2.5 per guest, ISK 190) | ISK 28,500 |
| 3 bottles of flavoured syrup (ISK 3,890) | ISK 11,670 |
| Delivery and collection | ISK 0 |
| Total | ISK 67,140 |
The syrup is estimated for about 90 cocktails, or 1.5 per guest. You add mixers and juice to taste. Want to save on the bartender? Rent a cocktail set for ISK 2,990 and mix the drinks yourself.
