Been getting into home bartending the last couple years so I try and keep a bar stocked with enough to make at least few of the classics (martini, negroni, old fashioned, whiskey sour, daiquiri, etc).
Usually contains:
Rye (currently Bulliet)
Rum (currently Appleton but usually a collection of bottles from Plantation)
Gin (currently Sipsmith)
Tequila (currently Casadores)
Curacao (always Pierre Ferrand Dry)
Dry vermouth (currently Dolin)
Sweet vermouth (currently Antiqa Formula)
Campari
Ancho Reyes Chili Liqueur (this stuff is a gamechanger)
Angostura bitters
Orange bitters
Grapefruit bitters
Copious amounts of citrus fruits
