Dear Lazyweb,

I have the unprecedented opportunity to assemble an alcohol collection from scratch. Recommendations? (along with what to mix them with)

Comments

[bluepapercup]

Dark Rum
Good burbon
Triple Sec
Angostera Bitters
A nice vodka
Sweet vermouth
Tia Maria?

For mixing - ginger beer, coke, soda or tonic water, lots of lemons and limes.

Not all at once, mind you. ;)

nice vodka = grey goose. needs no mixer. ;)

Ahh yes, grey goose.

Hee! All at once would be funnier, though, now wouldn't it? ;)

Thanks m'dear!

If you like Mead and Whiskey, I sugest to you Celtic Crossing. It is teh wonderful and it goes on it's own.

Sounds quite interesting!

A good vodka, a good gin, a good tequila and a good whiskey will get you started. I also suggest 2 good bottles of red and 2 good bottles of white wine.

How do you define good? Well, I've been accused of being a wine snob *grin* but generally speaking, if you like it...buy it!

My labmate D made a similar suggestion.

*takes notes*

Heh, I already have 3 bottles of red sitting around, so that takes care of at least one item.

I like me some spiced rum and Coke, or some toffee liqueur in milk. Vodka's already been suggested, but it also goes nicely in cranberry juice.

I get the impression you're not much of a beer person. It's probably just as well though, since all the beers I could suggest probably aren't available way out your way. I'm not a beer snob, but I definitely prefer microbrews to the mass-market horse urine they pass off as mainstream beer.

Well, my collection at the moment includes:
2 bottles of really good scotch (Macallan and Glenkitchie, though I wouldn't mind some Glenlivet when I get close to finishing these)
1 bottle of good gin (I happen to like Bombay Sapphire, though Tanqueray has more flavor for martinis)
1 big ass bottle of mediocre gin (tonic is strong enough to wash out the less than stellar taste of a cheap gin--I tend toward Seagrams for the G&T)
1 brandy, for those cold winter nights or hot toddies when sick
To buy:
A russian vodka
irish cream
relatively cheap irish whiskey
