Oh, and Apricot Brandy...

And Blackberry Brandy if you plan to make a Mr. Bali Hai.

Oh, and do you have barware & glasses to fit the drinks you're making?

You'll want Rocks/Old Fashioned, Double Rocks/Bucket, Cocktail "Up" Glass (i.e., Martini Glass), Collins/Chimney/Zombie Glass, & Highball Glass. Then there's Pilsner & Ale glasses for beer (plus Beer Mugs), Red Wine, White Wine, Sherry & Champagne glasses for wine, Shot Glasses for, well, shots, Cordial Glasses, Irish Coffee Glasses, Whiskey Sour Glasses, Brandy Snifter, Hurricane Glasses, Margarita Glasses, Mason Jars, & Parfait Glasses.

And Tiki Mugs!

Plus Ice Bucket, a good Lemon/Lime Squeezer, a sharp paring knife & cutting board (for Lemons & Limes, and other fruit &/or garnishes), a Shaker (Boston or regular), Jiggers and measuring glass & spoons, Corkscrews & churchkey, Muddler, and swizzle sticks.

AND assorted Garnishes: Stuffed Olives, Maraschino Cherries, Fresh Mint Leaves, Lemons, limes & oranges cut into Wedges/Rings, Lemon, Lime & Orange peel & zest, Celery stalks, Salt, Superfine sugar, Worcestershire, Tabasco, Bitters & orange bitters. Extras: Horseradish & black pepper if you plan on making Bloody Marys, Cucumber if you plan to make a Suffering Bastard, Whipped Cream goes on a number of Hot drinks, Orchids are always a nice touch for the Ladies' drinks.

And don't forget Milk for the Dude's White Russians.
