THE HOME BAR
When in doubt, get a liquor or mixer for the home bar, there is always some obscure mixer that cocktails come for, if you can source this on holiday, even better. A hostess is nothing without a well stocked bar, trust me.
Cocktails are where you can really shine; it invites a level of experimentation and that ability to throw things together and see what sticks. With a cocktail you can almost never go wrong and it does not have to break the bank.
