Bar Planning Essentials

Make sure you have tequila, whiskey, vodka, rum, scotch, gin, and vermouth in addition to the much-needed mixers such as margarita mixes, tonic water, orange juice, club soda, milk, sodas, and cranberry juice. If you like, add pucker, bitters, schnapps, sweet-and-sour mix, and flavored runs and vodkas. Don't forget the shaker, limes, cherries, olives, toothpicks, lemons, and tiny umbrellas.
