Vermouth is an integral part of any home bar – essential for making classic drinks
like Manhattans and Negronis. My favorite brand is the Cocchi Vermouth Di Torino,
but one that you can easily find at most stores is the Dolin Vermouth de Chambray.”

“I don’t think any bar is complete without a couple of YETI Lowball cocktail
glasses for light drinkers and YETI Rambler glassware for heavy drinkers. They
keep ice fresh for days assuring high-quality bourbon does not get watered down
and wasted.” –Dan Garrison of Garrison Brothers’ Cowboy Bourbon
Kuhl-Linscomb will get their stock of the YETI highballs in January 2016, but in the
meantime, we love Mario Luca Giusti’s Milly clear tumber. $25 each.
