Over the past year or so, Morgan and I have accumulated a considerable collection of liquor, ranging from college party staples - vodka, rum, and tequila - to lesser-known liqueurs such as Chambord, Frangelico, and Midori. Along with attaining such a collection, we have honed our mixological skills as well, up to the point where we (Morgan at least) can mix common concoctions and invent unique yet delicious combinations of spirits with the same ease.

This is the first post in the new Cocktails category, and in the future I will be posting some of the more delicious cocktails we have made - recipes, tastes, and reactions.

Here is a summary of our collection, arranged by shelf in the above image:

Top shelf (too high to reach, and as a result the lesser-used bottles): Bombay Sapphire Dry Gin, Smirnoff Green Apple Vodka, two empty bottles of wine

Middle shelf (our favorites): Porfidio Single-Cane Rum, Belvedere Citron Vodka, X-Rated Fusion Liqueur, Hpnotiq Liqueur, Midori Melon Liqueur, Effen Black Cherry/Vanilla Vodka, Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur, Chambord Liqueur Royale de France, Patron XO Coffee Liqueur

Bottom shelf (mixers, creams): DeKuyper’s Peachtree Schnapps, DeKuyper’s Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps, Malibu Mango Caribbean Rum, DeKuyper’s Triple Sec, Sauza Hornitos Tequila, DeKuyper’s Blue Curacao, a bunch of shot glasses, Amarula Fruit Cream, Courvoisier Cognac, Kahlua Coffee Liqueur, E&J VSOP Brandy, three bottles of wine

Not shown: 1.75 L bottle of Grey Goose Vodka - it is too big to fit on any shelf.

Stay tuned for updates!
