In My Bar

Jeffrey Morgenthaler had a nice post and started a bit of a meme for me when he posed this fine question, ‘What’s In My Liquor Cabinet‘.

More or less I take from this that I’m woefully short-handed when it comes to Tequila, that I need to upgrade and diversify my stock of Rums if I ever want to make 1/4 of the recipes in Beachbum Berry’s books (thanks again, Rick), and that I’m stuck with a lot of ingredients from before my conversion to cocktailian understanding (I mean, wtf, Blue Island pucker?!). Any thoughts, trends, or ideas you have are greatly appreciated. And, you’re welcome to come over and have a drink, anytime. Just don’t touch the Old Raj, he gets cranky. 3
