I spent a few hours creating a spreadsheet of ingredients for tiki drinks based off Beachbum Berry's Remixed with the help of the Grogalizer and then trying to come up with a sweet spot based on how many drinks they were used in. Based on my research, these seem to be the ingredients to buy to make the most drinks with the lowest number of ingredients sorted by how many total drinks the ingredients appear in within the Remixed book (phew!):

Lime Juice
Light Puerto Rican Rum
Orange Juice
Pineapple Juice
Lemon Juice
Angostura Bitters
Dark Jamaican Rum
Sugar Syrup
Passion Fruit Syrup
Gold Puerto Rican Rum
Grapefruit Juice
Orgeat Syrup
Grenadine
Falernum
Demerara Rum
Pernod
Club Soda
151 Demerara Rum
Gin
Orange Curacao
Honey

With these ingredients you can make 38 different drinks, including one drink from the Tiki Central Drink Contest. Take out the Pernod and it's 34, which might be acceptable since Pernod is a bit pricey.

I humbly submit that these 21 ingredients should approximate the minimum to stock a tiki bar for the best return based on number (not price!) of ingredients.

Edit: Here's the list of drinks you can make with these (minus the TC Drink Contest, because that isn't showing up now for some reason):
Boo Loo
Carioca Hawaiian Cocktail
Cobra
Derby Daiquiri
Doctor Funk
Don's Daiquiri
Don's Own Planters
