How To Have The Perfect Home Bar

As Winter continues to bring us the cold, gone are the days of rooftop bars and to actually go out and brave the cold, what's one to do when you need a drink? You are now at your peak laziest, but you and your friends still want to get their drink on. Best part of Netflix & Chill is being able to make a drink at home without the fight for the bartender and keeping prices relatively low. Sure it’s great when friends decide to bring some over to share with you, but you wouldn’t be caught dead serving a bud light to others. Some of the things you need for a well-stocked bar are really the basics to so you can entertain your friends and yourself with adult drinks. Like your men, your home bar should be diversified, rather than 4 bottles of flavored vodka here is a list of essentials that should be a part of every home bar.

For The Health Nut

When planning on the essentials, the basic liquors are nice, but you're gonna need more than just an arsenal of alcohol to make the perfect drink. Sometimes you're looking for the perfect ingredient to stay (somewhat) healthy, add some Be-Mixed and your halfway there. This mix is - zero sugar, zero cal, all natural and they taste amazing! You can get these flavors in cucumber mint, ginger lime, and margarita.

Your Favorite Blended Malt

Sometimes you just need to show off to your friends. At $80 Usquaebach 15-Year-Old 'Pure' Malt may seem on the higher end but it's worth every drop, I mean cent. The great thing about whisky is at 86 proof it's only 70 calories, being one of the least in all alcohol. Who says you can't be skinny and drunk at the same time? Grabbing for a glass of whiskey is a must while the cold nights at home

Clear Corn Whiskey
