It is a common question: how do I stock my home bar? I get asked quite a bit about what bottles are good to start with and rather than suggest people go out and buy a bunch of base spirits like tequila, vodka, rum, and whiskey I like to steer them this way, especially if they want to get started with classic cocktails. Here are my suggestions: whiskey (rye whiskey is preferable) London dry gin (or Plymouth) Maraschino dry vermouth sweet vermouth Angostura bitters Peychaud's bitters What do you like to recommend people start with?
