I also have three large shelves in my garage that are used as a "back bar" for over stock. It would be a sin to run out of something halfway through mixing... wouldn't it?!

Geeze I forgot all about my "back bar"... better add about 50 more bottles to my count. Then there's the "over stock" because you didn't check your “back bar” before you went shopping. Once you've successfully spent thou$ands of dollars of your hard earned money on the liquor and you're happy with your bar, then comes the problem of the nectars and juices. Finding them and storing them... guava, papaya, mango, passion fruit. How many times have I opened a carton of papaya nectar just to use 1 or 2 ounces and have the remainder sit in the fridge until it grows a new life form. If you’re lucky you can find these items. If you're even luckier you will find them in 8 oz cans (thank you Dole). Oh and by all means, don't forget your frozen ice straws and ice lined glasses and cups. You can take up half your freezer with these necessary items. You certainly don't want to have come this far and not have an ice straw to lower into your Navy Grog.

Enjoy the journey.
