How many alcohol-free drinks should you plan per person?
Allow 3 to 4 drinks per person for a 2-hour cocktail reception, with at least three different flavours so that everyone finds one they like. A litre fills 5 glasses of 20 cl: for 20 people, that means 60 to 80 drinks, i.e. 12 to 16 litres if everything is served in 20 cl glasses.
| Headcount | Total drinks (3 to 4 per person) | Litres in 20 cl glasses |
|---|---|---|
| 20 people | 60 to 80 | 12 to 16 litres |
| 30 people | 90 to 120 | 18 to 24 litres |
| 50 people | 150 to 200 | 30 to 40 litres |
| 100 people | 300 to 400 | 60 to 80 litres |
Two different flavours are better than one in double quantity: a classic juice that everyone drinks, and a more distinctive nectar for those who want something else. See also organising a corporate cocktail reception.
What can you serve instead of champagne for the toast?
The Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay 0% alcohol, an alcohol-free Chardonnay grape juice in the Blanc de Blancs style, replaces the bubbles for €16.90 excl. VAT per 75 cl bottle. A bottle serves 5 glasses of 15 cl, so one bottle for 5 guests when each receives one glass for the toast.
| Headcount | 75 cl bottles (1 glass per person) | Budget excl. VAT |
|---|---|---|
| 20 people | 4 | €67.60 |
| 50 people | 10 | €169.00 |
| 100 people | 20 | €338.00 |
What drinks budget for a party of 20 people?
For 20 people and 3 drinks per person, a selection from the catalogue comes to €136.40 excl. VAT, i.e. €6.82 excl. VAT per person, excluding €29 excl. VAT delivery. This is the low end of the 3 to 4 drinks range. Here is the breakdown.
- Toast: 4 bottles of 75 cl 0% Chardonnay, i.e. 20 glasses, €67.60 excl. VAT.
- Juices and nectars: 4 litres, i.e. 20 glasses of 20 cl, with 2 litres of apple juice at €9.50 excl. VAT and 2 litres of peach nectar at €10.50 excl. VAT, i.e. €40.00 excl. VAT.
- Water: 6 bottles of 75 cl Evian, i.e. 4.5 litres, €28.80 excl. VAT.
The minimum order is €50 excl. VAT and delivery is €29 excl. VAT per order in Paris and nearby towns. Quantities for breakfasts are in drinks for an office breakfast.

Yes, in addition to cold drinks: a 1-litre thermos of coffee, Mariage Frères tea or hot chocolate serves 6 to 8 cups and costs €19.50 excl. VAT. Hot chocolate, at the same price as coffee, becomes the main drink as soon as children are present, at an afternoon break or a Christmas party.
