No, it’s not the first step in the journey towards alcoholism!
Having a home bar actually enables one to learn about and explore the world of spirits in unique ways. And in the comfort of home, who’s going to stop you from mixing a 25-year-old Scotch with Bourbon? The waiter? Well, chances are you’re your own waiter too, really…
Don’t like the concoction you just put together? Give yourself a tap on the back, you’re doing great, buddy! That cocktail was probably missing an ingredient, but you’ll figure it out. Whatever you fancy in your glass, remember that having your own bar at home may just save you from insanity during these awfully quiet lockdown days, wont it?
But remember, when stocking a bar, make it easy on yourself and stock what you personally like.
Your bar should fit your individual style, taste, and, er, budget. Remember, a well-rounded bar should include at least one bottle of each of base liquors. This will form the foundation for the majority of cocktails out there.
