thnx :)

Answer 1

Rum & whiskey will give you some of the largest variety of drinks to make; coke, 7-up, and sour all mix well with both.  If you add some wine to the mix, spritzers can be very refreshing too.

Answer 2

Gin, rum, whiskey etc.

Make sure to have a blender, lots of ice and the right mixers available. Make sure to get good liquor to, not cheap stuff.

Answer 3

Tequila, Rum, Bourbon, Gin.

Sodas, juices, sweet and sour mix, club soda/gingerale.

oranges, pineapples, cherries, limes.

Answer 4

A cocktail party does not have to have a varied bar selection.  Especially if you are not experienced mixing drinks.

Many focus on one theme and specialize such as Carri bean or Hawaiian drinks made with rum.

Or get a blender and lots of crushed ic and make frozen drinks like frozen daiquiris or margaritas

some like ice cream drinks

And others just get a large kettle of koo-aid and dump in a couple of quarts of grain alcohol and make mystery punch.

Go to the liquor mart and get a copy of Mr. Boston's Bartenders Guide and see what you can make.

I got this book and read it and applied for a job and worked as a bartender for 30 years;-}

Answer 5

For cocktails the best

drink to have in are Vodka, martini, gin, Rum, Blue Curacao.

These can all be mixed with lots of different things so are great as basics and really easy to get hold of.

Answer 6

red bull.

Answer 7

You need to have, whisky, gin, vodka, rum, white vermouth, red and white wine, beer, orange juice, tomato juice, coke, 7 up, tonic water, ginger ale, peter lemon, soda water, slices lemon.

Now you have a full bar and people can mix there own drinks, dont forget to have tabasco, sault and paper in case if someone want a bloody Mary, have fun.

Answer 8

If you're having a simple cocktail party you may want to narrow it down a bit - maybe have a few bottles of red and white wine along with an antipasti platter of cheese, olives and meats - maybe margarita's and chips, homemade salsa and guacamole to go along with it....

Answer 9

Check out liquor live for some drink ideas. Bottom line, don't stress out about the party, and make sure you have more than enough liquor. Running out is always embarassing!

Answer 10

gin, rum, sambuka, pimms, achers, whisky.  The list is endless. Go to a supermarket and have look at the shelves in the spirits section. If you go to a waitrose they have a drinks specialist who can tll you what is best.
