If you could only stock your home bar with 3 types of liquor, what would they be?

The beer in my fridge varies, but it's always there and cold! Right now, it's Natural Light and Sam Adams Rebel IPA(yumm).
There's usually some Bud Light Ritas for the wife as well.

Our favorite liquor for warm weather is Luksusowa Vodka. It's quite inexpensive and very good IMO.
I like to mix it on the rocks with cranberry along with a splash of triple sec, lemonade, OJ and a squirt of lime juice. If no cranberry juice is on hand, use more lemonade!
I'm a fan of Fireball whiskey in colder months.

Charlie, I'm one (perhaps of the few) who NEVER liked the taste of bourbon and such; Kentucky & Tennessee whiskeys. And a friend had told me that scotch was an acquired taste; that no one likes it initially. So I guess I was about 26 years old the first time a neighbor offered me a scotch & water (Johnny Walker Red Label), and I immediately knew that if I was going to drink any whiskey, it would be scotch. Initially I bought Johnny Walker Red Label, later changed to the cheap Clan MacGregor, eventually to Chivas Regal. Then a daughter & son-in-law gave me a bottle of Glenlivet or Glenfiddich that I liked but thought was too expensive, even for the small amount that I drink. But then another elderly customer in a liquor store one day told me about McClelland's single malt, so that's what I buy now.

Before I retired and we became full time RVers, our house had a wet bar and I had stocked it with a wide variety of stuff. I had a bottle of cr鑪e de menth that was only opened once when my brother wanted to taste it. I eventually threw it away. I had an unopened bottle of Jack Daniel's black label for years that I eventually gave away.

And I did keep Galilano and Cr鑪e de Cacao to make the Golden Cadillacs with ice cream.:laughing: It's been a lot of years since I made those.

As far as vodka for the fairer sex . . . my wife USED to say that she liked a screwdriver, but she never finished even a very small one. She never cared if friends and family got drunk at a party, and she had as much fun as anyone, even was a pretty good bartender at parties, but just never cared for the taste of any kind of booze, and still doesn't.

You should have gotten yourself a bowl of vanilla ice cream, crushed up some Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies on it, then poured some of that cr鑪e de menth over it.... would have been gone in a couple weeks! :licking:

Holy-cow!

We had lunch for a special occasion today in the local bar & grill. I seen a sign on the wall advertising $2.50 beer during happy hour. The last time I had a happy hour beer it cost 50 cents.

Beer at Walmart averages about a buck a beer for name brand here.

.66 per bottle on sale frequently here. Never looked at regular prices, so that's probably pretty accurate.

My wife likes those Thin Mint cookies and buys some every year. But I just never really cared for anything "mint" flavored.

AAAHH!!! No mint? :laughing:

I have some growing outside my back door by my faucet. I use it fresh in sun tea and pick and dehydrate it for winter sun tea. I keep it dried and crushed in a baggie in my spice drawer. Relatives think it looks like pot! :laughing:

When I posted that I don't care for anything mint flavored, I started to mention that I used to actually like the mint plants. Before I was 15 years old, we had a windmill for our home water supply with a tank up on a wooden stand. We turned off the windmill when we saw the tank overflowing. So the ground around the windmill frequently stayed damp, and mint grew there. We never harvested or did anything with it, except to just chew the fresh leaves at times.

My grandparents had a cottage on an island in a large lake about 30 miles north of here. They had mint growing all over the place. We'd pick it and chew it. Also, there is a HUGE mint growing industry in this part of Indiana and we are 4th in the nation in mint production. When its harvest time, they mow it down and put it in large metal mint wagons. They take wagon trains of two and three down the road to the mint stills. The pump steam through the mint wagons and recover the mint oil-laden steam, draw off the mint oil and put it in barrels. They dump the steamed mint in huge piles on farms and they sit there and steam for a few weeks. The smell is fantastic! Sure beats a pork operation! :laughing:
