Ok, I am having this somewhat large get together next month and need to start planning. I want to do something different then what we normally drink. This is the normal stuff we pick up:

Smirff Vodka
Kahlua
Smirff Green Apple Twist
Everclear
Captain Morgan
Sky Blue ( for the light weighs)

And then we also get :

Hawaiian Punch
Oragne Juice
Sprite
Coke

By the way we are college students just starting out and learning. Any ideas?

Alrighty heres my list of you can make a bunch of drinks with these items list.

For juices try buying pineapple, cranberry, sour mix, and lime slices. Those are two of the best ingredients into mixing fruity drinks.

Tequilla(good for shots)
Peach Schnapps
Blue Curacao (gives them cool colors)
Midori

Most of those drinks can be mixed with many of the items you have already and additional items. Good luck with the party. Any more questions feel free to ask (right now im in a rush trying to get to work so posting fast). I'm sure I'll be back tonight and give you some neat ideas.

Billa is right - definitely go with the Pineapple and Cranberry juices. Cranberry is excellent for vodka/gin drinks like martinis and highballs and pineapple goes well with liqueurs.

I would highly suggest picking up some Jagermeister and giving the "Surfer on Acid" a try, in highball or shot form.... very tasty... also search for "redheaded slut #2"... another excellent choice...

That sounds like a good idea. I think I am going to attempt to play bar tender for alot of my friends so they will try new things. They normally tend to stay with old things that they have already had.
