Home Bar: Stocking The Basics

So, you have your bar tools and a library of cocktail books to study from. Now you need the ingredients to make a couple of cocktails. What kind of spirits should you buy? What if you don’t like something? How much whiskey is too much whiskey?

Having a home bar is cool, but if you are starting out, it might seem daunting.

The Puppet Tavern is here to help walk you through the categories of spirits, with affordable examples of brands he has found to work well at home.

This isn’t the definitive list of what you MUST buy; that is entirely up to you and how you want to stock your home bar. Bennett hopes that this helps you get there, though.
