View Full Version : Stocking Up

So, about a year ago I went on a binge trying to fill up my "liquor cabinet." *Just believing I as an adult should be able to offer anyone who comes over a drink, I felt the need to grow up. *Ideally, no matter what someone would request I would be able to meet that person's desires.

At first I was buying a bottle a month. *Even though I'm not much of a drinker, I wanted respectable brands that I could enjoy myself should ever I so desire. *In other words, not something cheap just to say I have it like Smirnoff and not something trendy like how Sky Vodka was 10 years ago. *I also wasn't looking for the stuff that's so top shelf Big Bird has to break out the step ladder to get to it. *I'm not blowing half my rent money on some Pitron Platinum just so I just so I can freak out watching some drunk-assed guests dump half a bottle in some Del Monte Margarita Mix, ya dig.

Whether it was some typical-to-type, lose interest in a project or more enticing alternatives to my discretionary income, I haven't purchased a bottle in quite some time. *I'll try to remember what I have off the top of my head...No, it's not that I'm too lazy to get up to go look I just don't believe I'd remember what I have by the time I'd get back (but yeah too lazy to write everything down), could you tell me what you think I should purchase next?

I have vodka, gin, tequila, triple sec, dry vermouth, Kentucky bourbon, rum and...I guess that's it. *I would think a decent single malt Scotch would be in order. *I'd been putting it off since the first time I got drunk was off of Johnny Walker Red and well, we've never been boys since. *Any NT rationale expressed in selection would be greatly appreciated. *It could be, "chicks dig Martini & Rossi" or "Did you know you can lower your cholesterol by drinking everclear?" *"Vampires won't attack if you've been drinking jagger," that would be fine.

Don't assume I know all the nicknames. *Like I know Black Label and that's about it. *And please refrain from wine or beer selections. *

Thank you.

I know I will be of no help to you whatsoever.

My liqour cabinet (aka, my bedroom cupboard, about 2 foot away from my bed) as it currently stands. It's looking a bit empty, though the jager is a new addition:

Clearly I'm a fan of a certain particular sort...

I don't maintain a liquor collection. Usually, if company comes by and decides they want to drink, we go across the street and get whatever we feel like that night. We'll continue drinking whatever we picked out until it is gone so it's rare that we have any alcohol sitting in our apartment more than a couple of weeks.

I'm partial to vodka, rum, and southern comfort. Brand names? I can't remember, I usually just recognize what I like by the labels or let other people choose. I'm not too picky about it for the most part.

Sorry, can't help. I'm a "wine-dude" these days (and not so much of that).

A couple of people have given me drink recipes w/jager but I remember the shot I had of it and was clearly not a fan.

I've got Stoli and Absolute myself. I've been meaning to try Chopin, as it's an all potato vodka. I'm not that much of a snob though. Belvedere is quite good though. Not urgent for me to pony up for that though.

My "liqour cabinet" is the bottom shelf in my kitchen cabinet. I feel like I should have a better locale. Close to my bed would be dangerous.

I do the same as Jezebel, except it's not that close.

Go to nearby liquor store, get everything you need, and if there's something left over it sits in the cupboard for ages before someone comes along to drink it, or I have one of those really rare urges to drink.

What more do you need? Maybe amaretto.

Ahh, my favorite booze...
