Bar Setup for your next party

It’s easy to set up a bar for your next party. You’ll need Vodka, Rum, Scotch, Bourbon, Tequilla, White & Red wine and an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages.
Mixers should consist of cranberry juice, sour mix, club soda, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprint and tonic water.
Make in advance carafes of Ransom Note Martinis, Pomegranate Martinis, Pumpkin Pie Martinis and Oreo Cookie Shooters. I placed them in 32- ounce carafes in the large beverage bucket for convenience. The Cranberry Jello Shots should be kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
A cooler with ice is next to the bar. A small scoop is handy, so people don’t pick up the ice with their hands.
Other essentials are a shaker, fresh fruit (lemons, limes, and oranges), some mint, a knife, a small cutting board for slicing the fruit, glasses, straws and napkins.
