How to make cocktails at home

Great cocktails start with good bottles and fresh ingredients. Most classics need only a base spirit, something sweet, something sour or bitter, and a garnish. Stock a blanco tequila, a bourbon or rye, a vodka, a gin, an orange liqueur and a bottle of bitters, and you can make dozens of drinks. Browse the recipes above, then add the bottles to your cart for fast local delivery or nationwide shipping.

New to mixing? Start with a Margarita, an Old Fashioned or an Espresso Martini. Each is forgiving, needs just a few ingredients, and scales up easily for a party. Please enjoy responsibly, you must be 21 or older.

Good to know

Cocktail questions, answered

What are the easiest cocktails to make at home?
Three-ingredient classics are the easiest: a Margarita (tequila, lime, orange liqueur), an Old Fashioned (whiskey, sugar, bitters) and a Daiquiri (rum, lime, sugar). They need no special equipment beyond a shaker and a jigger.
What bottles do I need to start a home bar?
A solid starter set is a blanco tequila, a bourbon or rye, a vodka, a gin, an orange liqueur and a bottle of aromatic bitters. With those and some fresh citrus you can make most of the classics on this page.
Can you deliver the ingredients for a cocktail?
Yes. Add the bottles to your cart and we deliver same-day or next-day across Long Island, with free curbside pickup in Commack. Spirits are local delivery and in-store pickup only; wine ships to the states where it is legal.
Shaken or stirred, how do I know?
Shake cocktails with citrus or cream for a cold, aerated drink; stir spirit-only cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan to keep them silky and clear.
Do I need fancy equipment?
No. A shaker, a jigger for measuring and a fine strainer cover almost everything. A mixing glass and a bar spoon help for stirred drinks.
