Thanks for all the good replys, I enjoyed reading everything. For blending I´m thinking of using smirnof black, because we get a great deal from our dealer. Not that I like smirnof. For straight vodka drinks I use of course belvedere... My favourit brand. Gin i'm gonna use tanquray for every gin drink... At this point I belive i'm getting very spoiled... For rum Ron Anejo Pampero especial and another for pure rum drinks... It's very good, tasted the whole line yesterday. For tequila i'm gonna use josé cuervo especial and josé cuervo reserva de la familia. Whiskey is rather divided between the different areas of scotland, but i'm gonna have one bottle of Johnnie Walker blue label. Tried it yesterday to, and i learnd a very good way to drink it, first you drink some cold ice water to chill your mouth, keep it in for 7 seconds, then swallow, then drink the whiskey and you will experience the taste comming from inside your mouth and outwards. TRY IT. Thats pretty much the base spirits i'm gonna have in my bar, still very unclear of the cocktail card, so keep it up and if you have a home made cocktail send it to me and I will try it out. Ps. can anybody explain what Orgeat Syrup is? Havent heard of it before.... And Maraschino?
