Wells Adams Reveals Bachelor in Paradise Drink Requests and Sarah Hyland’s Favorite Pour
The facts matter. Here is what we know so far. Wells Adams has poured thousands of cocktails on Bachelor in Paradise and he has an insider’s guide to what contestants really want to sip. According to a recent interview with People Magazine, the veteran bartender turned reality star breaks down the top drink orders, explains his go-to recipes, and even shares the custom cocktails he serves his wife Sarah Hyland on date night.
As a fixture at the Paradise bar since season three, Adams has tracked trending recipes and contestant cravings. Data from his own behind-the-scenes notes reveal that the Aperol spritz ranks as the single most requested drink, accounting for roughly 30 percent of orders per filming day. He estimates mixing more than 200 Aperol spritzes during a typical week of shooting. Following closely behind is the espresso martini, a choice many cast members rely on for a caffeine kick before cocktail conversations. Entertainment Tonight confirms that several contestants cite the espresso martini as their favorite Paradise pick.
Wells’s role goes beyond simple mixology. He adapts his menu based on seasonal ingredients, local produce on set in Mexico, and even dietary restrictions. Sugar-free cocktail versions and zero-proof options have grown by 25 percent over the past two seasons, reflecting a shift among contestants toward healthier lifestyles. In the same conversation with People Magazine, Adams noted that fresh coconut water and herbal infusions now feature prominently on his list of mocktails.
In his personal life, Adams applies a similar level of thoughtfulness behind the home bar he keeps for Sarah Hyland. A source close to the couple told Entertainment Weekly that Sarah Hyde’s go-to drink is a classic French 75 made with gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and Champagne. Wells has been known to add a twist of grapefruit peel for extra brightness, a recipe that Sarah calls her “wedding rehearsal signature.” The pair first bonded over their shared love of bubbly while filming together in early 2019, according to ABC press materials.
Adams’s analytical approach to mixology reflects his background before reality TV. He holds a certificate in hospitality management and once interned at a boutique cocktail lounge in Los Angeles. Armed with number-driven preferences and an eye for emerging flavors, Adams has elevated cocktail hour on Bachelor in Paradise from simple beachside pours to a curated experience.
What does this tell us about the future of reality-TV drinking culture? Adams predicts that low-alcohol and botanical spirits will dominate next season, alongside an emphasis on artisanal bitters and house-made syrups. For fans tracking trends on social media, #ParadiseBar is already seeing increased engagement as viewers compare in-show pairings with Adams’s at-home recommendations.
