A good basic bar should have a gin, a vodka, a whiskey, and a brandy, bitters, soda, tonic, and dry and sweet vermouth. Those ingredients alone will make dozens of classic cocktails. Add in a few other things and you have a very nice bar going. Bourbon: Buffalo Trace or Elijah Craig 12 yr Gin: Gordon's or Bombay (regular not sapphire) Rye: Sazerac or Old Overholt Brandy: Any better domestic if you're in the States. I like Paul Masson XO. Vodka: There are a lot of good moderately priced vodkas. Unless you're drinking them straight up, it doesn't matter which one you buy. Tequila: for drinking, Herradura Anejo, for mixing, Sauza Liqueurs: an Irish Cream, a coffee liqueur like Khalua, maybe Campari or creme de menthe depending on what people like Aperetiefs: Dry Vermouth, Sweet Vermouth, tawny Port
