Start with the Bar Basics

To get started, you’ll want to stock versatile spirits that form the backbone of many cocktails. Oliver’s Own Vodka is a perfect go-to for everything from a martini to a simple vodka soda with a holiday twist. Add a St. George Gin Gift Pack for a selection of botanicals that bring depth to classic gin cocktails like a Gin & Tonic or a Negroni.

Buffalo Trace and Four Roses Straight Bourbon make great bases for Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, while the Bulleit Manhattan & Old-Fashioned kit is perfect if you want ready-made cocktails with the same classic appeal.

• Oliver’s Own Vodka, 750ml Bottle, $17.99+CRV

“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce our latest product from the Oliver’s Own line…Vodka! While vodka can be somewhat neutral in flavor and aromatics, we feel we’ve created a product that is so much more! Made from 100% grain, this beauty is brimming with floral aromatics, followed on the palate with blue fruit tones, and subtle spice. Finishing incredibly crisp and clean, this gem defines the term “overdelivers”. Enjoy!!” – Josh Kirchhoff, Corporate Wine & Liquor Coordinator
