repurpose old wine bottles as candle holders, or frame cocktail recipes
as wall art.

and gradually expand your collection and tools over time as your budget
allows.

hosting friends. The joy of a home bar is the ability to personalize and
tailor your drinks to your preferences.
Additional Tips for Building a Home Bar
Tip 1: Repurpose Furniture
Consider repurposing furniture you already have, such as a bookshelf or side table, to serve as your home bar. This is a budget-friendly and sustainable option.
Tip 2: DIY Bottle Labels
Create your own labels for bottles to add a personalized and professional touch. This is especially helpful if you buy liquor in larger, more cost-effective bottles.
Tip 3: Bartering for Bottles
Consider trading or bartering with friends for different spirits. This can be a fun way to diversify your collection without spending money.
Tip 4: Virtual Tastings
Host virtual tastings with friends where everyone samples a specific type of spirit or cocktail. It\'s a budget-friendly way to explore new flavors together.

Baileys
Bailey's Irish Cream is an Irish cream liqueur, a liqueur is an alcoholic drink made of distilled spirits and flavorings such as sugar, fruits, herbs, and spices. They can be rightfully christened as the descendants of herbal medicine. The Bailey's Irish Cream is a sweet, cream and cocoa flavoured thick liqueur with Irish Whiskey being the base alcohol and is one of the most popular liqueurs used in cocktail creation.
Discontinued by Diageo after two years of launch in 2003 due to plummeting sales, it was a low alcohol and long version of Bailey’s Irish Cream. It was available as a test run in Australia and New Zealand and was never rolled out internationally.
Bacardi Rum Top with
Rum is a liqour that originated in the West indies and is made by fermenting then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. The distillate is usually a clear liquid and is then aged in oak barrels.
Most Rums are produced in the Caribbeans and American countries, but are now produced in other sugar producing countries like PHilippines and Taiwan.
The first recorded mention of Rum comes from Barbados, in about 1650. They were originally called "kill-devil" or "rumbullion" and later on, simply Rum.
