If your home bar feels limited, do not always buy another spirit. Add mixers that create range. Soda lengthens drinks, tonic adds bitterness, ginger beer brings spice, and citrus gives structure. A small bottle of grenadine or a bitter red aperitif can help, too. Keep portions small so they stay fresh. Better mixers make ordinary bottles easier to serve well.
