How To Build A Home Bar
Ms Hutchins
Without a doubt, people are back to enjoying
cocktails! After several years of taking a "
backseat" to beer and wine,it is apparent that
the trend is moving towrd mixed alcoholic drinks.
Because of this trend, it is now more important
than ever for home bar owners to keep a well
stocked bar. This article will focus on the
essentials of stocking your home bar.
We'll start with some common sense selections.
You'll want 750 ml bottles of rum,bourbon,gin,
vodka, a Canadian blended whiskey, scotch, and
tequila. Unless you frequently entertain serious
martini drinkers, the gin and vodka don't have to
be "top-shelf" brands. Ditto for the bourbon and
rum. However, you might want to consider a 100%
agave tequila and a single malt scotch, as these
types are obviously better tasting. For your
Canadian blended whiskey, add one that is 12
years old for guests that like their whiskey on
the rocks.
With regard to other alcohols, you'll want both a
sweet and dry vermouth. Brandy and cognac are
important, too. However, watch yourself when
purchasing cognac and brandy. You can spend a
fortune and you don't have to. Go for the lower
end brands, unless expensive brands are your
personal preference. Definitely keep 750 ml
bottles of a red wine and a white wine. Good
general choices would be a Cabernet for the red,
and a Chardonnay for the white.
Beware when selecting liqueurs, as they are
pricey. Try to select the liqueurs that accompany
popular drinks. For example, Triple Sec for
Margaritas, Kahlua for Black Russians, Creme De
Cacao for Brandy Alexanders, Blue Curacao for
almost any blue drink etc. etc.
Non alcoholic beverages are also a must. These
would include drinks such as Coke and 7-up in 12
oz cans. Mixers such as tonic water and club soda
in individual serving containers should be added.
Don't forget the fruit juices! Large 64 oz
containers of orange, cranberry and grapefruit
should do the trick. Finally, bottled waters and
Bloody Mary Mix should round things off.
Your bar wouldn't be well stocked without
garnishes and other additives. Purchase
maraschino cherries, cocktail olives, and onions,
all in 10 oz jars. Go ahead and get some
Angostura Bitters(4 oz jar), Rose's Lime Juice(12
oz), coarse salt, and superfine sugar.
Wow! I think you're done for the present. You can
add miscellaneous items as needed. This basic
list should put you in a great light the next
time you entertain, Oh yeah, I almost forgot,
ALWAYS drink sensibly.
