Essentials for a well stocked bar

That’s more a brunch drink, isn’t it? I got the feeling the OP meant for a Friday evening.

Anytime is a good time for a BM (or even a VM). :o

My alcohol cabinet contains a mixing whiskey, a drink straight whiskey, a spiced whiskey (for egg nog mostly) and a cherry flavored whiskey (good with coke)

Anything else is a waste of time.

(Ok, some vodka and gin… but mostly, I like whiskey)

QFT.

Wine, beer, a few simple highball variations and you’re good. Anybody who wants something fancy can go to a bar. People don’t expect endless variety at a cocktail party in a home unless the home belongs to a chef or a drunk. :stuck_out_tongue:
