"Always be prepared." It's not only the motto of the Boy Scouts of America, it's also the mantra of any great host. Eric Castro of San Diego's Polite Provisions suggests to achieve that goal via pre-made libations. The Full Windsor cocktail is his riff on the classic New Orleans tipple, the Vieux Carré. The batched blend can be kept chilled, stored in clean 750-milliliter liquor bottles, and on hand for any impromptu soirée.
