Too Lazy to Mix? Get a Bartender for Your House

Moving season has ended, you’ve survived the move, (most of) the boxes are unpacked, and you’re planning your housewarming party. Let’s be honest: you’re not kidding anyone if you think you’re having an alcohol-free affair.

If you’d like to give your humble abode the vibe of a professional bar, then consider hiring a bartender to take care of business. The process is simple:

1. Tell the bartender what you need (up to five different cocktails) a week in advance, then decide whether you will prepare the liquor, fruit, mixers, syrup, bitters, herbs, and ice yourself or ask them to do it (if you’re asking them to bring everything, make sure you bargain);
2. Prepare a place that has easy access to a fridge/freezer and water, since bartending requires a lot of washing up;
3. Decide who will prepare the glasses.

One such bartender, Lin, offers home bartending services starting from RMB 1,500 for the first two hours (not including alcohol), after which you’ll have to pay RMB 600 per extra hour. Call Lin on 185 1558 8405.
