Party Shot Calculator
Planning a crowd? Enter your headcount and we’ll estimate total shots, bottles, ice, mixers and cost — with a budget check so you buy once and buy right.
How the Party Shot Calculator Works
The party shot calculator takes the guesswork out of buying for a crowd. Enter your headcount, shots per guest, number of recipes and budget, and it estimates total shots, 750ml bottles, pounds of ice, mixers and cost in real time. Because the party shot calculator assumes standard 1.5 oz pours and a 25.36 oz bottle yield, the numbers line up with what you will actually ring up at the store.
First check the budget banner, then adjust shots per guest until the estimate fits. When you know how much you need, browse shot recipes to build your menu, or use the finder to match recipes to bottles you own. Above all, serve responsibly and please drink responsibly — offer water and food, and never serve anyone under 21.
