I love having friends.

 Only last week did a dinner for 12 people at the house and it was a success! The secret of good host? The tips of the book Secret Tips ...

• Be a good bartender Most people believe that wine is cheaper than liquor, but will actually be more economical to serve cocktails based spirits or wine-based punch, rather than the wine itself.

 A bottle gives six cups, which will serve, at most, three to five guests.

 Try the following options:

1 Mix pomegranate juice with a liter of vodka, or prepare a substitute with gin, lemonade and a measure of Campari.

 Top with slivers of orange and mint.

 In general, one liter of spirits, for every three measures based mixed juice, yields 30 cocktails, and liquor costs the same as a bottle of wine.

2 Prepare a cocktail with sparkling wine and orange juice, or mix a bottle of sparkling wine or champagne with 500 ml of orange juice and two cans of lemonade in a punch bowl, adding a few glasses of brandy to give an extra touch, if desired .

 Mix and allow guests to serve.

• Check toilets Avoid embarrassment for you and your guests, making sure that all bathrooms are cleaned and provided with enough toilet paper.

 If you host, you have any doubt about the condition of the pipes in your home, arrange for them to be inspected by a professional before the event.

• Prepare a unique and excellent dish when you try to be the hostess or host scored top marks, there is a natural tendency to exaggeration.

 How do you want all the dishes are perfect, probably will bust your budget and then get mad.

 The solution is simple.

 Make the main dish is the star of the party and channel their efforts and their economies to such.

 If the other steps of the meal are simple - but prepared with fresh and flavorful ingredients - they highlight its spectacular dish instead of competing with it.

As a result, you will get more compliments yet.

• There is always a ... Be ready to deal with a guest who drank too much.

 If you, as the host, can not get rid of it before he start yelling, arguing or vomiting, and a polite warning and a sip of water does not resolve, try to make the person lie down (have a bed ready in case doing so), or call a taxi.

Give the taxi driver the address to which follow and, in any circumstances, let the person go home driving.

Have some sober and close friends will be helpful in situations like this providential.
