Check My Date →Select how many drinks per hour you expect each guest to consume on average. This is used to estimate total drink quantities for your event.
Select which drink types you will be serving below. A slider will appear for each selected type — adjust them so the total equals 100%.
Select the liquors you plan to serve. Your mixed drinks are split evenly across them, and each liquor is rounded up to whole bottles. Not sure, or serving something else? Skip this and your list shows one bottle count to split however you like. The mixers are yours to choose and buy too (cola, tonic, soda water, juice): your list shows how many ounces to have on hand.
Nothing picked yet. Your list will show one bottle count, and the liquor is your call.
Booking Spark for the bar? Our bartenders bring the bar tools. You buy what is on your shopping list; Spark never supplies mixers or garnishes. Ice isn’t included with bar service either: bring your own, or ask us about adding it to your booking.
Select any non-alcoholic beverages to offer. Selecting anything will prompt you to enter your non-alcoholic guest count.
Enter your email address. Your list will be sent to you automatically after it is generated. We use it to send your list and, only if you opt in, occasional updates.

Each category below shows exactly how quantities were calculated. Spirits and mixers used across several drinks are priced once, in the Master Shopping List — so add up the master list, not the sections.
All items consolidated — nothing listed twice. Estimated prices shown next to each item, and the total below counts every item exactly once.
Who brings what: everything on this list is yours to buy, and the prices are store estimates. If Spark is running your bar, we bring the bartenders and bar tools; we never supply mixers or garnishes. Ice is not included with bar service: bring your own, or ask us about adding ice to your booking.
