We will assume this event will be an adult gathering, so if children will be present, we need to provide suggestions to make them enjoy the party without any side effects except a bit of sugar...but we do have a couple of non-alcoholic punches lined up - and there is always the 'Shirley Temple'. But we'll address the needs of the young ones later.

For the moment, let's make a list of possible beverage options. You will know your guests and their preferences for liquid refreshment better than we who manage this theme, so plan accordingly. Remember, this is a NO party and rum, bourbon, vodka and gin are the main players, with some liqueurs in the mix.

And when you see "NO", we're meaning New Orleans, not 'no'.
