    We're having only a selected amount of cocktails instead of a full bar and we're trying to figure out which ones to go with.  The FH is saying we should stick with 2 types of alcohol, but I would ideally like 3 for more options.  So for economic reasons we're trying to figure out if we can do just two, it would save us more.  Please help us figure out which would be the most popular. 

     Which drink options would you prefer if you were a guest at our wedding?

    I think the safest are Vodka and Rum.

    I picked Vodka (my fav!) and rum.  I don't know anyone who drinks tequila except as a joke (but maybe that's just my group of friends.)

    me and captain = good friends lol definitely would go with rum (i think that rum and coke especially is a safe bet for most men) but i think cosmos would be a good option as well for people who like a little more of a sweeter taste

    I picked Vodka but as you are in LA I think the weather definately lends itself to having a nice cold margarita!

    The rum would be my first choice, but I would happily drink anything vodka as well.

    Tequilla and I are no longer friends. We were frienemies for a while, but I cut ties after all of the betrayal....

    ps. i think i would avoid the tequila. i think people tend to get pretty messed up on tequila. plus, i don't know if it is just me, but people may have issues remembering the night if they are loading up on tequila all night lol

    I'm a tequila person first, vodka person second! Rum doesn't go over so well after a bad experience I had with it, lol.

    I don't drink hardly at all, but when I do it's something with rum. I know from personal experience as a fire eater that vodka and rubbing alcohol do in fact taste exactly the same so I'm not much of a fan. Then again, I've gotten sick off of tequila, so that's a greater deterrent for me, and I like the way cosmos look!

    definitely the rum option.  I hate tequila.

    Why not have one of those options be free, then make all the others be part of a cash bar?  You aren't going to please everyone by just offering one of those options and some people who really want another option might be willing to pay for it at a cash bar.

    I vote rum & vodka because I think they're the most versatile of the 3 options.  Whatever you choose will be great!

    I picked Vodka...I like rum drinks occasionally and tequilla is a fav of mine (but maybe not most people!) but I think Vodka would be the crowd pleaser!
