olives, gibson onions
toothpicks
straws
cocktail napkins
variety of glassware
shaker cup and strainer
ice and scoop
fruit for decoration-orange, cherry, lemon & lime etc
bitters
vermouth

there may be more, but this should cover all of the basics. have fun!!

Answer 2

Based upon the number of mixed drinks that include each individual ingredient, I've found it is vital to have the following on hand in your bar:

- Ice
- Orange Juice
- Lime Juice
- Cranberry Juice
- Pineapple Juice
- Red Bull
- Tonic Water
- Grenadine
- Sweet and Sour Mix
- Half & Half / Cream / Milk (whatever your preference)
- Whipped Cream
- Lemons / Limes / Oranges / Cherries / Olives
- Coke
- 7UP or Sprite

Assuming you have the proper spirits, you can make nearly any drink with this list of non-alcholic ingredients. The list can obviously be expanded for much more specialized drink recipes but many of the most commonly ordered drinks will use these items listed.

Answer 3

Grendine, simple syrup (sugar and water), Rose's Lime juice, fruit juice ( cranberry, orange, pineapple, ), limes/lemons for squeezing, and soda. You may want to get some mixes like margartia mix (which you could make with some of the above ingredients), daquiries, etc. Those are very helpful.

Juices( Like OJ, cranberry, maybe pineapple and grapefruit, and tomato for Bloody Marys, etc), coke and 7-UP types, club soda, tonic water...These are basic mixers that should get you by...Of course, there are many exotic drinks that require special ingredients and liquors, but these will serve well with standard orders
