    Stocking your home bar

    All I have is whiskey. Would like to pick up a handful of bottles that can meet a variety of needs, for starters. Will gradually grow over time.

    I know I need vodka, everyone loves it but me. I want tequila, I like it (especially for cooking.)

    What else? And what vodka and tequila are good?

          Talking point for who? I would think that only aficionados care about that stuff.

                  I could be wrong, I just don't see any girl looking at a bottle of vodka and saying "oh my God I've never had that before!"

                  LOL.

                      Luksusowa potato vodka is excellent and inexpensive, goes great with any mixers. And good old Russian Stolichnaya vodka should give you good coverage.

                      .

                            good call on the tequila + get some girly drinks, pink, green, etc., you don't have to know their names, maybe Baileys too, girls love it

                              Good selection of 100% agave tequilas is a must, blanco, reposado, anejo... Cabo Wabo, Dos Lunas, Sauza, 1800, 1921, Patron, etc.
                              Few gins: Tanqueray, Hendrick's, Bombay Sapphire, Beefeater, Martin Miller, Plymouth, etc
                              Rums: Angostura, Bacardi, 10 cane, etc
                              Vodkas: Most of them will do
                              Triple sec: Cointreau

                              Also be sure to check various bitters like Angostura or other orange bitters, they really spice cocktails up

                                  Go to Costco and get the big bottles of what they carry, they carry the more popular varieties and their own brands are not bad. Do this to get a good stock, then expand to the brands that are more expensive, but go by taste, not hype.
                                  Vodka, everyone has their favorite, I like Kettle1
                                  Rum, Sailor Jerry
                                  Whiskey, Jack Daniels
                                  Scotch, Macallen, single malt. 18 year or older
                                  Tequila, NOT Patron, I like Cabo Wabo. But make sure it's 100% Blue Agave, anything less is crap
                                  Gin, I don't drink the stuff
                                  Always have some Kahlua and Baileys for mixing with coffee after dinner.
                                  Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                  think about that

                                      I like to keep at least one of the major types, and 1-2 cans/bottles of all the popular mixes and juices to accomdate everyone.

                                      I think right now my cabinet contains: Grey Goose, Russian Standard, Crown Royal, Crown Royal Maple, Jim Beam, Macallan 18, Hendricks, Bombay, Patron silver, Don Julio anejo, Captain Morgans, Zacapa Centenario, Contreau, Baileys, Jaeger, Goldshlager, plus a couple flavored liquors like cherry and chocolate and stuff like that.

                                        You also need a really nasty liquer bought on some holiday to store at the back. For those occasions when you are desperate for a drink and everything else has gone.

                                          You should get a couple bottles of wine and some craft beers, like a trippel or quad (they age well)

                                                You can't go wrong with Tito's Vodka, it's relatively inexpensive and it's so damn smooth even people that normally can't drink vodka will enjoy it...

                                                  Luksusowa is great, and inexpensive. One of my favorites, along with Russian Standard and Grey Goose.

                                                          I didn't like it either. Tito's is the only vodka I've tried that made me feel strange.

                                                          Here's my typical alcohol inventory:

                                                          Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whisky
                                                          Skyy Vodka
                                                          Absolut Vodka
                                                          Grey Goose Vodka
                                                          Belvedere Vodka
                                                          Beefeater Gin
                                                          Bombay Sapphire Gin

                                                          The beer I typically stock:

                                                          Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
                                                          Stone Brewing IPA
                                                          Lagunitas IPA
                                                          Racer 5 IPA
                                                          Coors Light (aluminum bottles)
                                                          Bud Light (aluminum bottles)

                                                          Champagne I typically stock:

                                                          Roderer Estates Brut ($19.99 @ Bevmo)
                                                          Roderer Estates L'ermitage ($46.99 @ Bevmo)
                                                          Moet & Chandon Imperial ($39.99 @ Bevmo)

                                                          And of course you have to keep fresh mixers on hand:

                                                          Kirkland or Ocean Spray Cranberry juice
                                                          Simply Limeade
                                                          Simply Orange Juice

                                                          And last but not least... make sure you have proper glassware, decanters (whisky decanter, wine decanter), shaker, coasters, ice bucket, and champagne bucket. I would not go cheap on these. Whisky rocks are a nice touch. You will also need a Vacu Vin Wine Saver so you can keep your wine from spoiling for a few extra days. Add to the list a "professional" bottle opener, a "rabbit style" wine bottle opener.

                                                          Whiskey snifters
                                                          Martini glasses
                                                          Champagne flutes
                                                          Tumblers (short, and tall)
                                                          Wine glasses (stemmed and stemless)
                                                          I recommend Riedel pilsner glasses for beer, sold at Target

                                                                        The photo is a reference to my being alcohol-free, although I consume cannabis. Even though the strongest thing I drink these days is infused herbal tea, I still have a fair stockpile of booze in the house (I'm not a 12-stepper). My cabinet contains various Bacardi Rums (my drink of choice during my drunk days), a couple of bottles of Gin, a few kinds of Vodka, some Tequilas, and a handful of Whiskeys, various liquors (Amaretto, Courvoisier, Bailey's, Kahlua, etc), a variety of mixers, plus a nice collection of California wines. That's for when friends or family come by. Lots of world-class drinkers in my clan.

                                                                        Don't keep beer around much anymore, but I buy what I know my guests like when I am having beer drinkers over. My favorites beers back in the day were Newcastle, Bass, and various microbrew beers.



                                                                        Anyway, the statement about Baddog having a pretty nice bar set up (or at least he did the last time I was there), well, that was a totally separate thing.

                                                                        To reiterate, the above photo and the statement below it which I posted are mutually exclusive.



                                                                        Time for some Fire OG and Cherry Pie...



                                                                        Having been a heavy drinker (fifth of Bacardi a day) for too long, I have to say it is pretty funny these days to be stoned while sipping on a fruit drink in a room full of drunk people. I definitely don't party as much these days, but the good part is that I am a lot more productive than I was.

Its Mexican and goes down like water. Other then that. Tres Generaciones is an Amazing tequila. A little pricey but very tasty and smooth. Better then any of that patron bullshit. For scotch, a nice bottle of single malt like Glenlivet Glenfidich or Macallins is nice. You can get one for a decent price for a 12 year old.

                                                                                          They do tend to warm up pretty quick. I think the reason they're in favor with whisky connoisseurs is that whisky isn't supposed to be cold as ice, although sometimes I like to change it up with ice, or a bit of water.

                                                                                          I think I want to pick up one of these next...

                                                                                                  I know I need vodka, everyone loves it but me. I want tequila, I like it (especially for cooking.)

                                                                                                  What else? And what vodka and tequila are good?
