As far as I know pretty much the only drink you should be using Rose's Lime Juice in is a Gimlet, while your Margaritas should definitely be getting fresh-squeezed lime juice.

Funny - I clicked on this thread with the idea to make this very same point in mind. This is the most important thing you can do. I make margaritas with fresh lemon and lime juice that people kill for. If you want to spend the money and have the best quality drinks, squeeze your own. Sometimes (not all the time) the labels don't matter.
Booze-wise:
Makers Mark is great
Having some Captain Morgan's around never hurt
The real thing is to know your audience. If this is a college age / post college age crowd, no one will care about the Gin and things like that. Gals will most want fake martinis (things called martinis with not as much booze and are uber sweet). Guys will want things that they won't actually like but look cool (Makers Mark on the rocks) and only "order" one. Most of what you will go through in that case in Rum and Cokes.
If you have a different crowd that is a little older, make sure you have things that match like Johnny Walker Black or better, Martini mixin's and the proper glassware to match.
Good luck and send pictures.
