DeLUXE BARE BONES HOME BAR

Now that you have a Step Up home bar you may want to add few items that will take your home bar and transform it into a Deluxe bare bones bar.

HARDWARE

Coasters - here the prices vary widely so let's assume $25 for set of 8 very nice coasters. Simple cork coasters can be had for about $2 a piece.

GLASSES

Whiskey Tumblers - if you decide to go high class get crystal tumblers making sure that the glass contains 24% lead. Expect to pay at least $15 - $20 each. Simple glass tumblers sell for about $4 each.
Cognac Glasses - Get the larger cognac glasses that hold about 8 oz. Crystal cognac glasses look cool but just like above expect to pay at least $15 - $20 each. Simple glass cognac glasses sell for about $4 each.

LIQUOR

Single Malt Scotch Whiskey - I suggest you start with 12 year old The Glenlivet, about $40. Good but more expensive alternative is 12 year old Macallan, about $65.
Cognac - I suggest Hennessy VS 750, about $45 or Martell VS, about $35.

LIQUERS

There is a wide variety of liquers on the market and they all have two things in common - they are sweet and they are expensive. I recommend you have only two or three if you must have them at all.

Limoncello - this Italian lemon liquer and also acts as an after dinner drink and digestive, about $20.
Curacao - an orange liquer, originally from Dutch West Indies, about $15.
Crème de Menthe - green peppermint liquer that can be used in refreshing cocktails or on its own straight or with club soda, about $15.

And now your Bare Bones Home Bar is complete.
