beyond the Basic BAR | 1 2 3 
continued from page 1

There's an infinite variety of yummy flavored liqueurs out there, each of which can make a fine addition to your bar. Other popular liqueurs you may want to consider adding, besides the ones listed above, include: Chambord (raspberry liqueur), Midori (melon liqueur), Grand Marnier (orange-flavored cognac liqueur), a good chocolate-flavored liqueur (Godiva, Mozart), Peach Schnapps.

mixers + garnishes
Many of these items will keep for a long-time when refrigerated – cocktail olives + onions, maraschino cherries, Rose’s lime juice, grenadine – and are cheap to boot. Fresh fruits such as lemons, oranges and limes double as both garnishes, and sources for fresh juice (you'll want to have some kind of a citrus juicer, of course). If you've got fresh strawberries and bananas too, fabulous, but let's face it, these fruits go bad fast. Keep a frozen stash on hand for impromptu frozen daiquiris and other frou-frou drinks. It’s also good to have a variety of juice and soda on hand, since they’ll prove indispensable as mixers and also offer the non-alchohol imbibers a tasty beverage alternative.
