This week’s segment we are going to be discussing a key ingredient for adult parties, the bar. I want to go over what essential liquor and tools that you will need for a well stock bar for your parties. Some of the items you may not need for every single party but are still good to have around just in case some one isn’t a fan of that night drink of choice.
Essential hard liquors to always have in stock:
Vodka (a good brand that doesn’t burn and non flavored)
Tequila (doesn’t burn when you drink it strait)
Rum (I go darker and some spice)
Whisky (any kind that you don’t mind to sip)
Gin (for mixing)
Beer and wine:
Stock about 2-3 six pack of beer. Have one be light and the other dark.
(You can ask guest to bring their beer of choose to put less financial burden on you)
Have one red and one white on hand. We will go more into wine choices when wine is required or main part of the drinking that night.
Mixes:
Orange juice
Lemon and lime juice
Club soda
Cranberry juice
Half and Half or light whipping cream
Triple sec
Non alcoholic drinks:
Ginger ale
Coke
Lemon lime soda
Root beer
For drinking wears you should have (sized of friend count may call for more or less)
8- Pint glasses
8- water glasses
8- tumbles (or rock glasses)
8-Wine glasses
8-Shoot glasses
8-Mugs
6-Martini glasses
Essential tools
