Start with favorite drinks
You don't need every bottle. List the three or four drinks you and your guests actually enjoy, then buy what those drinks need. A home bar built around real favorites gets used; one built around a checklist collects dust. Our home bar guide shows how to keep it lean.
Mixing spirits vs sipping spirits
Separate the two jobs. Mixing spirits should be versatile and reasonably priced, because they'll be combined with juice, soda or other ingredients. Sipping spirits are for enjoying on their own, so style and character matter more. One good bourbon or whiskey for sipping and a couple of dependable mixers covers a lot of ground. Our bourbon & whiskey page helps with the sipping side.
Ready-to-drink cocktails
Canned cocktails are convenient for gatherings. Before you buy, compare two numbers on the can: the size and the ABV. Two cans that look alike can differ a lot in strength, so check before you plan how many to serve. The Cutwater canned cocktails guide explains how to choose a style.
Plan the hosting supplies
Good hosting includes alcohol-free options and plenty of water, plus ice, citrus, soda and garnishes. These usually come from your grocery shopping, so put them on a separate list.
