Cocktail Essentials
Many of the stock items you will need may already be in your kitchen closets or drinks cabinet. The job of making drinks is much easier – and more pleasurable – when everything is to hand. Consequently, whether the drinks are for an intimate “diner a deux,” entertaining a few friends, a family get-together at Christmas or Thanksgiving, a summer barbecue or garden party, of a more formal celebration, the most important thing is preparation. Lay everything out neatly and keep your utensils and glasses clean. Squeeze enough juice in advance, cut lemons, limes, oranges, and other fruit for garnishes and twists and make sure that mixers and fruit juices are well chilled. Ask one or two friends to come around early – that way you can gossip and cut lemon slices at the same time.
