3. 3
   Bar Essentials: Have these on hand for mixing great mocktails.
4. 4
   Simple Syrup: Equal parts sugar and water, heated until the sugar dissolves. (Your yield will be the same as the amount of water you use.)
5. 5
   Lemon-Lime Juice: Equal parts freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice, for adding acidity in a flash.
6. 6
   Fresh Lemons, Limes, and Oranges: To make juice, wedges for squeezing or moistening the rim of a glass, or twists of zest for extra citrus aroma.
7. 7
   Superfine Sugar: Dissolves easily and makes a nice garnish on the rim of a glass.
8. 8
   Fresh Herbs: Basil, mint, and tarragon add complexity, texture, and visual appeal.
9. 9
   Purchased Ice: For a big party, it's hard to make enough ice at home. Besides cooling, ice helps blend flavors in the shaker.
