There are such things as "Pina Colada Mix" and "Bloody Mary Mix" that you can 
either buy in a packet, a can, or make yourself (in ascending order of 
quality) but you have to be in an environment where it will make a difference 
before you consider setting up with these.

IF you are sure to be making more than half a dozen of each of these drinks a 
night, then it may be worthwhile. Otherwise, beware of wastage. For the 
recipes, just take the non-alcoholic ingredients of each drink & scale it up 
to however much you want.

... I remember long ago thinking something was screwy when I saw cocktail 
menus with recipes that included "Pina Colada" as an ingredient.
EG : http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/2258
... and it was worse when I questioned the bartenders who insisted that "Pina 
Colada" was a flavour, not a drink in itself. Total lack of training/knowlege 
there. But anyway, Blend up some pineapple, coco milk & juice (I like to add a 
tiny dash of lime depending on the tinned pineapple brand) and you have a 
really good non-alc drink. Which can be versatile if you serve a few 
tiki-style drinks.
