Wine Rack Cabaret

Buying the appropriate liquors to fully stock your bar can be very expensive indeed. This is especially true if your taste lends itself to the premium brands. To save some money, stock only the basics. It is also certainly appropriate to buy the high end brands for those discerning individuals that appreciate them and buy less pricey liquor for those who don't.

Basic Liquors

These should be kept on hand as they are the base for several versions of mixed drinks.

Vodka Gin Rum Whiskey Tequila

These will go fast so stock a few bottles of each in reserve.

Beyond Basic Liquors

These are not absolutely essential to have on hand, but some of your guests will ask for them.

Scotch Cognac Brandy Irish Whiskey Jagermeister Rumplemintz

Unless you are a connoisseur of scotch and/or cognac yourself, you won't need to purchase the very expensive premium brands of these. Tastes vary so much among the people that prefer the high end bottles, that you will probably not buy the one that pleases them anyway. Buy what you like.

Cordials and Liqueurs

Blue Curacao Midori Cointreau Grand Marnier Triple Sec Kahlua Bailey's Irish Cream Peach Tree Amaretto Puckers Chambord Frangelico Crme de Menthe Crme de Cacao Anisette

Most of these can be found for less under the brand name of Mr. Boston. The great thing about stocking all of these liqueurs is the large number of different drinks that can be mixed with them. Since only a small amount is used for each drink, they should last a long time.

Non-Alcoholic Mixers and Drinks

Grenadine Sour Mix Lime juice Cola Diet Cola Red Bull Orange juice Pineapple juice Cranberry juice Grapefruit juice Tomato juice Sprite or 7up Soda Tonic Ginger Ale Cream Milk

Buy the 8oz cans of juice so they won't spoil unless you are throwing a big bash and expect a heavy volume of drinks to be served. The milk and cream will have to be purchased as needed.

Garnishes and Condiments

Cherries Olives Cocktail onions Bitters Worcestershire sauce Tabasco sauce Salt Pepper Lemons Limes Oranges Picks, umbrellas and stirs

Most of the items on this list will last a long time in either the refrigerator or behind the bar. The fresh fruits should be purchased a small amount at a time and then restocked to keep them in their fresh state.

You are now ready to call the gang in to celebrate the grand stocking of your bar. Show them your stuff, barkeep, and enjoy.
