Setting the Bar High for NYC Cocktail & Bar Catering

Let’s face it – one of the most important aspects of any party are the drinks and finding a NYC alcohol catering company for your cocktail party can be a challenge. What sets us apart from other caterers in NYC is our top-notch bar service catering. This way, you won’t have to look elsewhere for delicious drinks and premium service. Plus, we have the ability to create an alcohol catering menu that complements your event’s food and appetizers to create a memorable evening.

NYC Bar Catering with a Full Liquor License

Not all caterers have a full liquor license and the ability to serve beer, wine, and liquor. Deborah Miller Catering has a full liquor license, which allows us to offer bar catering as one of our premier services. In addition to serving classic and hand-crafted beers and an extensive list of wines, we craft perfectly paired cocktails for your menu and event.

How Does the Liquor License Work for My Event?

New York does not offer any “blanket” alcohol catering license that authorizes caterers to provide alcohol for any and all events. To comply with the law, Deborah Miller Catering, like all off premise catering companies, must obtain individual, one-day permits from the New York State Liquor Authority for every event held at a place that does not have a liquor license where we serve the alcohol.

Our team is required to submit a diagram of the venue, obtain a signature from the landlord, and obtain the permit. Deborah Miller Catering is experienced in obtaining the necessary liquor licenses for every bar catering event. We handle this process with ease. By adhering to the law, we are able to offer our clients the best possible bar catering services across New York including Manhattan, the Financial District, and the Upper East Side. Rest assured, we are fully licensed and insured to offer alcohol catering services including beer, wine, and liquor.

Well Bar and Upgraded Alcohol Catering NYC Options

Because New Yorkers love variety, we offer both a well bar (Skyy Vodka, Beefeater Gin, Milagro, Four Roses Bourbon, and Bacardi Ocho) and a premium liquor package (Belvedere, Hendrick’s Gin, Johnny Walker Red Scotch, Bulleit Bourbon, Herradure Tequila, Flor De Cana Anejo Rum, Gallo Dry & Sweet Vermouth).

Regardless of which alcohol catering package you choose, we include a variety of mixers including Orange Juice, Ginger Ale, Coke, Sprite, and more. Specialty liquors, simple syrup and creative garnish are also available. Dry iced for smoked cocktails, no problem? We love getting creative with our alcohol catering and executing all requests.

Getting Creative with Cocktails & Drinks

Our bar catering services run the gamut! We have experienced mixologists that can craft delicious cocktails from clean and simple to wildly lavish. In order to fully round out a theme, we often pair food stations with alcoholic beverages. Corporate favorites include a Classic Margarita with a Mexican Taco Station, American Comfort Foods with an Old Fashioned, and Classic Italian Favorites with a nice Chianti Wine.

Another wildly popular option is to create a specialty drink that’s unique to your event. Our mixologists can create entirely new cocktails or put a twist on a classic. We take the base of popular cocktails, like a simple Gin & Tonic, and add in surprises like cranberry juice and Thyme infused syrup for a tasty surprise or add in rosemary-maple herbs to our classic Bourbon Sour for a refreshing twist. Allow our mixologists to create a specialty cocktail that complements the season like our Apple Cider Sangria in the fall. Some of our other specialty cocktails include:

Honey-Fig Refresher: A sweet and fizzy vodka cocktail
Rhubarb-Fennel Gin Cocktail: A herbaceous gin cocktail with citrus and a fun rhubarb stalk garnish
Pomegranate-Pear Gin & Tonic: A fruity take on a gin & tonic
Cranberry-Lime Margarita: A classic margarita with a tangy and spicy finish
Cran-Apple Caipirinha: A sweet & fruity version of this Brazilian classic

Choose from one of our tried and true cocktails or work with our experienced mixologists to create a special drink that’s sure to delight and impress your guests. The possibilities are endless when working with Deborah Miller Catering for your bar service catering needs!

Wine and Beer Services in New York City

In addition to our craft cocktails and full liquor bar, we offer wine and beer bar catering options as well. Our standard wine bar catering packages consist of three red and three white options including a rich, dark-cherry based cabernet sauvignon and a light, creamy chardonnay. Our premium wines consist of a beautiful, deep Black Stallion Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Cellars Merlot, and three white wine options including a Sauvignon Blanc and two chardonnay options. Additionally, we have a selection of imported and domestic bottled beer, while specific varietals are available upon request.
