girlfriend dropped something in the neighborhood of $570 to start up her minibar yesterday. I kept the receipt to be able to have an inventory of everything that went into it. Apparently, I'm supposed to go with her to IKEA today and help set up the actual bar.

I think I have some calculus due, too

If you are going to do shots, you definitely need more than one bottle of chosen liquour, unless you like running out half way inbetween or having to restock every day. Back when my room was the "bar", I would always have at least 3 bottles of Cointreau for shots because during a party you will work through them like no tomorrow.

I'm guessing either a stripper or medium-level pot dealer.

Ya, so anyways...
That's a lot of liquer dude. Best bet- Start a back-door bar and call it "The Skum Pitt."

Plenty of dark rum and one bottle of gin-- we aren't really into gin, but there's some Bombay Sapphire for people who might be.

Dunno what the first two you asked are but I talked her out of getting Absinthe. She's a heavy drinker; I didn't want her getting damaged, as I'm told Absinthe has the trend of doing

rad resistance · Post by **rad resistance** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:32 am

Absinthe, the drink of the Bohemians.

Frater Perdurabo · Post by **Frater Perdurabo** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:53 am

Bombay Sapphire isn't really "gin" gin. It has a very distinct flavour for a gin and isn't really great for general mixing. Instead, I would recommend some Tanqueray or Hendrick's for general purpose gin lovers. Especially the latter.

rad resistance · Post by **rad resistance** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:57 am

Tanqueray, best for gin and tonic's.

or just Gordon's?

Frater Perdurabo · Post by **Frater Perdurabo** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:31 pm

Gordon's is just a bit shit, that's all. The price difference between Gordon's and Tanqueray is minute but you really do notice the difference in taste and quality.
