GET RAMS PISS

Petron tequila
Gray Goose or Belvedere vodka
Middleton rare Irish whiskey (or Bushmill's Black Bush if that's too expensive)
Captain Morgan's rum
Sorry, I don't know anything about gin!

Tequila and a good single malt scotch. I would also get some irish cream, triple sec, Kahlua and Amaretto. I would recommend if you want to please as many people as possible, get a couple different bottles of the vodka, whiskey and rum. There is a huge difference between the high end and the low end. Depending on how you want to use it.

You should get some honey rum. It's sweet but very, very delicious. They make a fantastic honey rum in the canary islands -Arehucas, but that might be hard to get your hands on. I'm sure there are others that are just as good.

For the quintessential liquor cabinet, surely you would want Q: Quintessential Gin.

"5 times distilled, 5 times filtered, Quintessential's smooth, light taste will change your definition of gin once and for all."

Fresh lemons, a bartender's zester, generous martini glasses, shaker, crystal clear ice, spotless bar towels. For those who insist, an atomizer of dry vermouth.

Cheers!
