Good news! You have finally set up your personalized home bar but it's still empty and you have no idea what liquors you're going to keep.

While it sounds insensitive for advisers to tell you to go to your nearest liquor store, and buy one of everything without realizing that you don't have enough money to buy everything, it's sad but you have no choice but do it especially if your goal is to make any cocktails that your guests are asking for.
