Add glasses next to the bottles and all of your flavorings in between.  Make a bottle of simple syrup to replace the sugar used in the drinks.  Consider the CHAMPAGNE PUNCH served in a large punch bowl.  You may want to write or print recipe cards for each cocktail. Your guests can serve themselves , experiment with new cocktail combinations and enjoy lively conversation.
