NOTES:
The number of bottles to be stocked will of course depend on the
number of guests expected, their anticipated requirements, and the
amount of time to be devoted to drinking (a drink or two before
dinner, a three-hour cocktail party, etc.).
Buy Plastic Martini Glasses - Why use glass!
Stocking mixers is like stocking your alcohol. It really depends on
what you plan to serve. This list will prepare you for most any
cocktail.
Sour mix
can be powdered, bottled or in concentrate form. Bloody Mary mix is not
necessary if you aren't making a lot of them. Pina Colada mix can be made
yourself with pineapple juice and a cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez.

Use fresh fruit for your garnishes. Again, it depends on what you
plan to make, but this will prepare you for most cocktails. You can
use your imagination and add fresh fruits, candies, sprinkles, or
even tiny umbrellas to give your own personal touch to your
creation. Buy Plastic Martini
