I am having a home bar built and I need to stock the bar. I have $1500 dollar budget for liquor. Let me know how you would spend the money. Thanks, Mike

Put more effort into your bar than you put into starting this thread.

El D,

I don't believe you can get Coors Light that cheap.

todd,

BevMo sells 30-packs for $22, so pretty close.

Either you ninja edited or I read it wrong because I swear it originally said 5 30 packs, not 3.

For the liquor and liqueurs, that's a very good combo. Take what you will for the mixers and garnishes.

that's approx. 35 bottles, then beer and mixers/garnishes. Even at a steep avg of $35/bottle you'll have a few hundred left over for beer, mixers and garnishes. That's for a well mixed bar where you'll have lots of people.

For myself... pretty much whiskey, rum, vodka, a few liqueurs and beer. Maybe one-two mixers.

El D,

That's a fine list that'll cover most drinks, but if a serious drinker comes by he'll need some Jack Daniel's too.

Tony: "I'd probably throw in a couple of boxes of wine too." Does anyone really drink wine? If you really think a home bar should have wine, what would you replace from the list?

w: There is already Jack on the list. Would you remove some Jack and replace it w/ Woodford or Makers? Or replace something else w/ those? Why do you think there should be more than one kind of whiskey?

dlks,

30-pack is cans, so no bottle openers needed. I think glasses come from a separate "home" budget, not the "liquor" budget.

El D,

I think chicks drink wine sometimes. Which reminds me, he's gonna want some margarita mix too.

Boxed wine might attract riffraff.

Would replace one of the tequilas with a few boxes of wine. Classy ladies like wine.
