The view from here

For Christmas, J bought me a bar set – cocktail shaker, stainer, ice bucket, jigger and a tray. So I went out a bought a bar guide to figure out some drinks I could mix (amateur bartender that I am). We are pretty understocked on liquor and supplies here at home (there’s a bottle of single malt scotch and about half a bottle of vodka here). Luckily, the bar guide defines what a “well stocked bar” should have. Not so lucklily, this list is intended to supply all the drinks needed for a three hour party for 20 guests. I’ve pared it down somewhat to what I think a home collection should have to last…

Actually, my mom bought some of the bar stuff too. Must give credit where credit is due.
