Learn English – Phrase meaning whoever is buying can choose

expression-requestsidiom-requestsphrase-requests

I was at the pub the other day, and it was my friends turn to buy a round. As he left the table, he asked what beer we wanted, and I replied with "Dealers choice", meaning that since he was buying the beer, he could choose whatever he liked. He didn't understand what I meant.

Is this an appropriate use of that phrase, and are there other/better phrases that I could use in that kind of situation?

I feel a simpler substitution would be "Your call"

From UsingEnglish,

If something is your call, it is up to you to make a decision on the matter.

Usage:

Friend: What will you take? Heineken or BudLight?

You: It's your call!
