Spirits, Part 1

Crazy recipes and requests may come your way, but stock the basics before you go looking for ouzo! Trust me, these will serve you over and over... until you have to buy a new bottle:

• Bourbon
• Brandy/Congac
• Gin
• Rum
• Tequila
• Vermouth
• Vodka
• Whiskey (Rye and Scotch)

For the not-so-basics, look for Spirits, Part 2.
