Standard stuff. Worth having around I guess.
Read MoreHudson Baby Bourbon
One of the most delicious bourbons I’ve tasted. Whenever I have this around, it’s a treat.
Read MoreCave Creek
A friend brought me this one from Arizona. It’s blended with Arizona water or something. It was nice.
Read MoreBulleit Bourbon
In a blind taste test of 10 bourbons costing from 15 to 75 euros a bottle, Bulleit won. I love it.
Read MoreBuffalo Trace
Standard fare. Some people keep this as their standard drinkin’ bourbon. It’s fine.
Read MoreBooker’s
Booker’s is excellent. Also I like the handwritten label.
Read MoreBlanton’s Bourbon
This is an excellent bourbon. The horse is always different. Cute grenade bottle.
Read MoreBaker’s 7 Year
I like it because it has a big B on it hehe. B-)
Read MoreAngostura Orange Bitters
When you need bitters and want a hint of citrus. Nice addition to an Old Fashioned.
Read MoreAngostura Bitters
This goes in every cocktail. Those are the rules.
Read MoreSuze
I honestly have no idea what this really is. I bought it to make white negronis once (made with white vermouth, and Suze acting as the bitter). Handsome bottle.
Read MoreLillet Blanc
Sometimes I splash this in a gin martini to give it a bit more body. It’s also nice on ice.
Read MoreCynar
I love Cynar. Put it on ice with a lemon wedge and sip it at a club on the cheap. And it’s made from friggin artichokes!? Mama mia!
Read MoreCampari
Much less basic than Aperol, but similar vibe and same pretty color.
Read MoreAperol
It literally does not get more basic than Aperol. It’s fine, people love it.
Read MoreAalborg Akvavit
I’ll be honest with this you, this tastes disgusting. You gotta be looking for something real dank if you drink this. It’s impossible to mix.
Read MoreRamazzotti
In every bar, but a classic amaro. Tastes great in a mulled wine in winter.
Read MoreMontenegro amaro
Can’t pass up this funky bottle. All amaros got freaky bottles with funky fonts.
Read MoreLetherbee Fernet
This fernet is a bit smoother than the Branca. Plus it’s local made (in Chicago) and has a nice bottle.
Read MoreFernet Branca
Chefs drink it so I drink it, lol. But really, I love the stuff. It’s fun to make complex deep cocktails with a fernet base.
