Now that we have our caterer crisis sorted and have a more pricey replacement, we have to go with a slightly cheaper (yet much more fun) option than our original plan of a sit down 3 course dinner with white wines. OH thinks white wine is fine, I suggested jugs of alcoholic fruit punch or cocktails could be out on the tables, but he pointed out the men may not fancy that. But then again I don't know many blokes who go for wine anyway, and I think they would just buy themselves a beer at the bar before the meal. We will still provide some fizz for toasts prior to the meal.
What alcoholic drinks would go nicely with the following, or shall we leave it at wine?
