The hardest part of starting your own bar is knowing what accessories/glassware to buy and then what alcohol to buy. We were in a constant battle of wanting to buy alcohol that we thought people were going to want to drink, but then never wanted to say "sorry, we don't have that".
We have come up with 10 ingredients, totaling under $100, that can create 14 different drinks (plus some), that your crowd is bound to love. Plus, you could probably make these drinks about 50 times with the ingredients, so really 700 drinks for $100. The amount of times that we have gone out for a few drinks and ended up spending over $100 on six drinks is a bit frightening. Note that all prices listed below are based on Total Wine prices for alcohol and Walmart prices for the mixers. Let us know what you think. Cheers! - COS
