U have a liquid calculator handy? Im driving and do not.

Trying to determine the cost for a mixture... And how many drinks we can serve in 12 oz styro cups filled with ice.

We are putting the following in an Igloo cooler for drinks at a golf tourney.

(4) 1/2 gal Vodka
(4) gal cranberry
(1) 1/2 gal OJ

Estimate on cost, and how many it would make?


Thanks to anyone that can estimate this rather quickly

For a 7 oz serving, you've got 36. I used 7 ounces because your gonna need ice. You owe me.

I was thinkim 7oz was close to bein right. How much would 2 gallons of taaka vodka run? Doesnt have to be good stuff.

I figure 4 gallons of cran and a 1/2 of OJ is less than $20

I got 118 servings (using the 7oz with ice calc). Looking at 6.5 gallons total. Unless I am misreading the format he has it in.

1 Ounce [Fluid, US] = 0.0078125 (1/128) Gallon [Fluid, US] His recipe is a 2 gallon recipe, I think.

I think the recipe was a 2 gallon recipe, hence my math.

If you're going cheap stuff then $40 maybe? Idk. I don't buy big gallons of alcohol.
Cran and OJ are cheap.

1/2 gallon of Taaka- $20 x 4= $80
Gallon of cranberry juice- $4 x4= $16
Gallon of OJ - $4

Total around $100, give or take a little.

If youre using Taaka you might as well buy McCormick or a private label for $10-$12..... Once you mix it with all that juice nobody will know the difference ( cue the elites who make White Russians with Grey Goose )

Exactly. They're not doing shots out of frozen shot glasses. They're drinking some hunch punch on a golf course.
