Hey guys, I just finish construction on my mini bar at home. I however am not a drinker so I need some advice on what quality drinks to get. Also what are some nice drinks for my office?
Cheers,
Kevin.
If I was invited I'd like Bombay Sapphire gin and any tonic water that doesn't have artificial sweeteners in it (If I'm drinking gin and quinine I don't think the sugar in the tonic is going to make matters much worse
)
Not sure if sherry is very popular in America but (based on my taste again) a good chilled fino (very dry sherry) is good and you could have a "sweet" or cream sherry (for the grannies and aunties). Spanish from Xerez, of course, some of the "sherry-type" wines are very vile! The sweet sherries keep better than the finos but shouldn't be allowed to become museum pieces.
Scotch whisky (blended or single malt), Irish whiskey, Bourbon and or rye?
Cognac (for drinking neat) or ordinary brandy to have with mixers
Tequila seems to be popular with the younger generation as do some weird bottled mixtures involving vodka.
Some people just like beer so you could have a small selection of interesting beers - perhaps micro-brewery types.
And don't forget the non-alcoholic choices for the designated drivers and the "mixers" for the spirit drinkers. Not just the excessively sweet fizzy stuff like coke and pepsi - fruit juices, fizzy and still mineral waters, etc. and mixers such as ginger ale, bitter lemon, plain soda water/club soda
Hope that helps and when's the Party?
As for the Office drinks - nothing alcoholic. Coffee, tea, possibly hot chocolate. Soft drinks, water.
