There was a previous version of this back in 2016, and a lot of the content will be the same but I figured I’d start a new thread for this decade.

I’ve gotten into making cocktails for my wife and I after work, and want to be able to whip up a few items for friends when entertaining. We have bar glasses (although I need a set of coupes) and most of the liquors (rum, vodka, gin, bourbon, scotch, whiskey, tequila), a few liqueurs (Cointreau, Aperol, Campari), and some odds and ends (bitters, ouzo, sweetened lime juice, tonic, ginger beer, cranberry juice).

I’ve been making a lot with Cointreau, and we love an Aperol spritz on a hot day. I think I’m looking mainly for additional liqueurs and mixers to let me make a wider variety of common cocktails. Of course, any cocktail suggestions are welcome as well. Also variations on types of liquors that make for a well stocked liquor cabinet.

I’ve been making a variety of margaritas, sidecars, negronis which have gone over well.
