Grab the bottles I use most at Curiada!: 👉https://bit.ly/andersbudgetbar Today I’m showing you what bottles I’d buy to build out my bar - on a budget! Buying alcohol for your bar can get expensive pretty quickly, and I know a lot of people can relate, so I gave myself a strict $100 budget to go out and buy some bottles I could start a home bar with. This was trickier than it sounds because I couldn't get every bottle I wanted! I then gave myself an additional $100 to expand upon the list - you'd think this would make things easier, but it wasn't. I didn't always go for the cheapest options, and I didn't buy in bulk (that's where the real value is). In some cases I went with higher quality in smaller volumes because I use those ingredients as modifiers in smaller measurements. In the end I came in under budget to get the bottles I needed to make some of my favorite cocktails (recipes listed below)! Of course, cater your list to the drinks you enjoy or want to explore - but here's the direction I took things. Cheers! Thanks Binny's and Garfields for letting us crash your stores!
