My husband and I like to host and entertain, so we always have a minimum stock of red, white, and sparking wines; beer (including his favorite IPAs); and hard liquor.
Our spirit of choice is brown. Our favorites include Jameson Irish Whiskey & Bulleit Bourbon.
My simple go to cocktail is a whiskey sour. It's refreshing and slightly sweet, which can enjoyable for even those without an "old man" palette.
