Complete your bartender kit: ingredients and drinks for the home bar

1. Liqueurs and Spirits

Liquors and spirits for your home bar will be your main focus. Beautiful bottles with quality content, or a limited edition bottle or two, will add a special touch to your bar. The important thing is to keep a list of the classics: vodka, rum (white and gold), tequila, whiskey, brandies -cognac, and even armagnac- and campari. Besides, amaretto, coffee liqueur, vermouth, Irish cream liqueur and orange liqueur will also perfectly complement your drinks.

 

2. Bitters

We already know the famous Angostura bitter, but bitters exist in so many shape and forms, tastes and colors. It is a must ingredient to create sophisticated cocktails with a few drops. Nuts, chocolate, ginger, orange, lemon… some brands are Peychauds, Fee Brothers, Angostura, Hella Bitters, Gumbo.

 

3. Mixers

Mixers will be your companion to create simple cocktails with sophisticated spirits or not. The variety is endless and of all kinds. Tonic water, grenadine, tea, coffee, orange juice, cranberry, pineapple, tomato, sour mix, ginger ale, cola, club soda…
