What is it like owning a mobile bartending business? I get a lot of questions from friends and guests. I’ve decided to start a “ask the bartender” weekly forum here.

QUESTION from Allison Rhinehardt:

When hosting a beer/wine only event, how many choices of reds vs whites (and which types) and how many different choices of beer (and which types) are best?

ANSWER: Thank you for the question Allison. You always want to limit the choices for your guests so it doesn’t take long for the guests to decide ensuring fast service. If the guest count is under 125, I recommend one red, one white and maybe 1 sweet for wines. If the guest count is over 125, I recommend no more than 2 red, 2 white and a sweet. I recommend Pinot Noir or Red Blend for reds, Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay for white and Moscato or Riesling for a sweeter option. Of course, I tell the client to get what they want based on their likes and budget

For beer, I recommended 3-5 choices for beer. Like wine, I tell the client to get the brands they like and based on their budget. The most popular brands I see at events are Mich Ultra, Miller Lite, Corona, Coors Lite, and White Claws. Thanks again for the question!

We will start posting your questions and answers on Friday’s and see how it goes based on the number of questions received. Send in your questions about our experiences, stories, etc about owning the business and we will answer for everyone to enjoy. No question is off limit, although I may “clean up” the answer. 🤣 You may ask the question in the comments or you can private message me. Here we go!

ASK THE BARTENDER? What questions do you have and do I have your permission to use your name as the person who asked? If not, it’s perfectly fine. I’ll still answer it.

“It must be nice to just show up for a wedding and hand out some beers and pour a few cups of wine. That’s some good easy money for you!”

Yes sir. And that’s all there is to it. Get one phone call asking me to show up and pour. Easy peasy, piece of cake. Those are words I often hear. 🙄

I am so thankful to be where i am today with Two Shots on the Rocks, LLC and no complaints (well, not too many LOL). But it takes WAY more effort than to answer a single phone call and “just show up and pour” the way some people think. This business didn’t just fall in my lap and there is WAY more to it than most could ever imagine.

I’ll never take for granted the support of family and friends and well over 500 clients/events, and counting, for helping us grow our business during these last 5+ years. It’s amazing to be a part of people’s celebrations regardless of the event.

Cheers to our 11-person team and all of our past, present, and future clients. We are here to make your event as special as you are to us! There’s nothing like two shots on the rocks. THANK YOU for supporting us!

5 years retired (well, from corp life)

5 years ago today was my last day from working with the Ahold Delhaize company, aka Food Lion to the Charlotte area. I had a 34 year (to the day) career with them. J and I had planned for almost 1 year my departure from the company but never said a word to anyone until 1 month prior to my leaving. It was a great career and one that I will always be grateful. However, it was time to leave and a decision that I’ve never regretted!

I had no plans other than to decompress from 34 years of the company consuming every second of my being. I didn’t know what I was going to do BUT I knew what I wasn’t going to do. I wasn’t going to sit at Biscuitville or McDonald’s in the morning with other old men with their pants pulled up under their armpits, drinking coffee and eating biscuits and talking about high blood pressure or diabetes. Thats not me!

Mixology had been a fun passion of mine for years. I went to bartending school in 2007 just for the fun of it. I enjoyed creating a look and a taste and enjoyed “playing around” with different concoctions.

Long story short, Two Shots on the Rocks, LLC was spoken into existence. What was a fun idea with the hopes of landing 1 or 2 events a month, has turned into an 11 person team doing 120 events in 2023. Never in my craziest/wildest dreams would have imagined what has happened in these last 5 years. We are very humbled and blessed with a small business that so many people have supported and continue to support. I’m often asked what is next. I honestly don’t know. Right now, we are just enjoying helping others celebrate whatever occasion they need our services.

5 years have literally FLOWN by for me. To all my former (good) coworkers, thank you for all you did for me during my career. To the (bad) coworkers, well I’m not friends with you on FB so never mind. 😂. To anyone who is considering retiring, there IS life after you leave!

And to everyone, I say CHEERS! There’s nothing like two shots on the rocks. 🥃🥃
