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.
