Stock:

We will provide the correct amount of ingredients for the number of drinks that will be made. Should your guests 'go rogue' and make up recipes or start doing shots we will issue a post-event invoice to cover the extra stock used, and they may end up missing out or preventing others from creating the next drink on the menu. Please discourage people from doing this if you see it, we want everyone to keep having fun so it's a shame when someone ruins it for others.
