I love those from My Fit Foods. Yum.
Kayla, I'm easy to impress behind the bar. Just ask Tinman

Gin is trickier. I want Bombay Sapphire or Hendricks if I'm having a martini, but regular Tanqueray works just fine in a gin and tonic.
Save the super premiums for your regulars, and get what they like. The guy that's seeing you monthly deserves the $35 bottle of GG. The rest of us can drink Tito's.
Make sure to keep fresh lemons and limes on hand. Ice is your friend...make sure you have plenty. Tonic water, of course, and club soda.
Someone else mentioned a shaker. Pick one up at target. Glass or metal, not that cheap plastic crap. And get the right glassware, too. Cocktails taste better in the right container. Classic cocktail (martini) glasses, highball, margarita, champagne, and wine glasses for red and white.
