I currently have haas and zutano which begin season in late november through into the summer.

I have just added jan boyce which supposedly ripens in april and march onward.

Should I be therefore expecting avocados to be available at all times of the year? What varieties would I need to achieve this?

the growth habit of the tree is very important , you would not want to put a gwen or a gem on the same tree as a fuerte or hellen there are several sights you can go to that have all the info on all the different avocado varieties

I too have a cocktail tree so it would be helpful if you included a link to the several sights you’re referring to. Thanks.
