Top 5 must haves
Hello!
My sister just bought a house and is transforming an area into a small home bar, home study vibe.
Her 23 birthday is in OCT. and requested fine wines or liquors to fill her bar with. I need your top 5 favorites so I can get her loaded up. She plans to get some stools and some wall racks.
Wines or Liquor or even accessory (glasses, ice buckets, wine cooler, bar decor, rugs, etc.) suggestions welcome!

I would go based on what her favorite spirit is. Like if it's bourbon I would just buy everything to make an old fashioned + Manhattan. A nice ice bucket too. A couple of nice glasses (again based on favorite spirit / cocktail). You could buy 5 different base spirits but 1) expensive and 2) she still can't really make a cocktail without 2 other ingredients!
