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


Chambord


Cachaça


Cassis, framboise, amaretto, or Frangelico
