Simple Home Bar’s Current Favorites

Whiskey

J. Rieger & Co. Kansas City Whiskey — https://www.jriegerco.com

Why we love it: We might be biased, but we can’t get enough of this historic distillery in our hometown. The Kansas City Whiskey is perfectly smooth and palatable for whiskey novices, yet complex enough for whiskey lovers.

Sweet Vermouth

Partida Creus MUZ Natural Vermut — https://www.selectionsdelavina.com/producers/partida-creus

Why we love it: This 100% certified organic vermouth comes from Spain, made by Italians. Its blend of wine and spices makes it delicious to drink on its own, or in any & all Negronis.

Rum

Plantation Isle of Fiji — https://www.plantationrum.com

Why we love it: When we experimented with tiki drinks, this is one of the ingredients that stuck. We think it’s a perfect midpoint between dark and light rum — great flavor without overwhelming spice. Not to mention its affordable price point.

Cherries

Amarena Fabbri — https://en.amarenafabbri.com

Why we love it: Honestly, once you have these, no other maraschino will ever compare. Yes, they’re pricier, but these are the difference makers between mehhh-drinks and ahhhhh-drinks.
