Seattle based bartender here :3
I would get the Dolin stuff, as far as vermouths go. Lustau is probably good too, I've had there sherry wine and liked it a lot. Don't get martini, it tastes the cheapest in my opinion. And get the cointreau, it's a staple. Never heard of metaxa but if your heart says yes, do it.

if i were you, I'd get a small mesh strainer, literally refines your cocktails and will make everything you make smoother. Get a citrus peeler (either channel or a potato peeler) and some bourbon cherries (this is my regeional variant of preserved cherries in syrup, use what you have on hand) since old fashions, the drink you mentioned later, gets half of it's appeal from the orange peel in it and the cherry at the end. Also get a citrus juicer and some bottles. Learn to make simple syrup (as implied it's not complicated) and maybe keep some olives, and citrus for other garnishes.

with this set up and everything you've listed you can make full fledged:

>gimlets
>martinis
>manhattans
>whiskey sours
>daquiris
>kamikazes
>lemon drops
>tom collins (but you'll need soda)
>moscow mules (you'll need ginger beer)
>others probably

then pick up other bottles as you go. Kahlua, St. germaine, campari, maraschino, chartreuse, and aperol and nice places to start. it will open a lot of other cocktails down the road. My bar at home is usually set up to make Manhattans, White Linens, and Negronis since thats what I like.

also get the makers over the jim bean. There is a popular phrase that goes "Dont party with Jim Jack or Jose" which means dont drink Jim Bean Jack Daniels or Jose Cuervo because they taste bad and give you worse hangovers.

also also I racistly assumed you have vodka and didn't mention it. Sorry

also also also I found this image on /b/ in like 2012 or something. Dont use it for date rape but it sounds like it would be good idk

I heard it tastes like grape juice. There's surely some kind of use for a drink like that (stealth slushies?)

hahahah! You fucking faggot, get outta town and go eat your tofu and sprouts and raw fish and rice. You're fucking full of shit and while you're full of shit, do have a meaningfull discussion with celebrities as to why, someone such as myself who can cook for himself and others, should give a fuck about them? You fucking troll fagot!
You're meaningless, like the celebrities that you defend.

With New Years coming up I'm looking for some interesting drink recipes, last year we made Skittle Vodka which was nice, this year so far we're thinking of doing this Bicardi Banana Smoothie, but I'm just looking for any ideas.
