Bar Basics
Once again, this is just what I consider to be essential. I know plenty of people that wouldn't consider a bar complete without Midori and Kahlua, but I think of those as strictly optional. Then again, I'm the only person I know that considers Tuaca essential, so there you go.
Plenty of red and white wine and champagne/sparkling wine
Vodka (Grey Goose)
Gin (Hendrick’s)
Rum (Gosling’s and a white rum)
Bourbon (Woodford Reserve)
A good scotch
A good tequila
Vermouth (sweet and dry)
Triple sec
Tuaca
Chartreuse
Eau de vie
Grappa
Calvados
Grand Marnier
St. Germain
Bitters (regular and Peychaud’s)
Optional:
Absinthe
Cointreau
Campari
Kahlua
Cachaça
Cassis, framboise, amaretto, or Frangelico
