If you purchased everything in the local bottle shop, you’d spend a fortune (and be suspected of incipient alcoholism). What are the drinks you really need for a well put-assembled home bar?

As a basic set of options for a home bar, we’d recommend:
- Vodka
- Rum
- Whisky
- Gin
- Tequila
If you have a bottle of each of these and the appropriate mixers, you can make a large range of drinks. There are plenty of nuances even in these categories (dark versus light rum, different varieties of whisky), but it’s a solid place to start. If you’re looking to stock a bar, keep an eye on your local liquor store specials and add to your bar when there’s a good special on.
