Here is the CMC 20 Bottle Bar suggestion, these are the 20 bottles of alcohol we suggest you buy for your home bar. This suggestion comes from Aiden Lodo, one of our channel members.
Aiden wanted to know what 20 bottles we suggest for a home bar along side 5 bitters to add to the cocktail collection. With these 20 bottles you’ll be able to make a bunch of cocktails from our show and have a good selection of quality spirits for many to come.
