Hi there! I am trying to put together a list of alcoholic drinks I can make for a New Year's party using mostly ingredients I have on hand. I have some Smirnoff 100, Cointreau, and Everclear right now. I'm willing to pick up one or two more types of alcohol, and I can pick up any number of non-alcoholic ingredients for use in the drinks. What alcoholic beverages would you recommend based on these conditions?
