It's the little things that count for a successful party. Here are some of our favorite tips to help make everything go smoothly. Have a great event!

• Always use a jigger (1-1/2 ounces) to measure your spirit. Don't guess, it will make your spirit last longer.

• Chill your cocktail glasses in refrigerator before serving.

• When adding an olive to a cocktail, always pierce it with a toothpick and use cherries with stems. Your guests will appreciate the convenience.

• Fresh fruit juice makes a drink taste much better.

• Use a high quality sweet and sour mix.

• Always have plenty of ice on hand. Assume that each party guest will consume 1/4 to 1/2 pounds of ice in drinks.

• As a responsible party host, see to it your guests return home safely. If any guests have had too much to drink, arrange alternate rides home or invite them to stay over.
