Okay, so step one is to get a mixing kit from somewhere like Alchemists' Cupboard. Step two to try following some of the tried-and-tested recipes here in the mixology section? Yes, I know I said I didn't want to mix my own about two days ago - shut up. I have a bad habit of throwing myself headlong into new hobbies, and I have a whole cupboard full of shiny craft supplies and love pairing interesting flavours when cooking, so I was pretty much doomed as soon as I joined the forum.
