Why are there even two S's in this? Ever notice that when you see this one on the shelf in every shitty bar? Bet not. I don't know why I have this one. I think I bought it before I knew what rum was.

Meermaid Infused Rum
Another one from the Craft Spirits festival in Berlin a few back in 2016. This one has a nice ceramic bottle, and the guy who sold it to me was a really nice tall fellow. Pretty balanced rum.

Malibu Rum
I seriously don't even care. This tastes good with pineapple juice. You wanna sit on a beach? Drink it, done.

HSE Rhum Agricole Blanc
Got this Rum Agricole at the store down the street. The first night I bought it, I drank a little too much and went absolutely nuts. I don't recommend that. It's very high ABV and I did not realize that.

Clement 125th Anniversary Agricole Rhum
I bought this one at a store down the street from me. Weird, in a street full of mostly apartments, there's a Rum Agricole store. The guy in the store is really nice and talkative. Also funny, this is the Clement (fancy brand) 125th Anniversary edition bottle… this is what they chose. 🤷♂️

Luxardo Maraschino Cherries
Def one of the more delicious things you can put in your mouth. Typically a few are tossed into a Manhattan, but you can also eat them straight or stick em in other cocktails. The syrup is also perfect for a sinking deep red gradient in a light cocktail.

Joyas Oaxaqueñas
This is a pretty nice mezcal. I remember others from this label being a bit better but much more expensive (so is mezcal in Berlin…).

Atenco Espanín
Listen, I love mezcal. I’m annoyed by how little there is in my collection, but it’s so hard to find in Berlin! I got this one at a craft spirits festival in Berlin a few years back. It’s awesome.

St. George Nola Coffee Liqueur
This stuff is straight up delicious. I love everything St. George does, and this is no exception. It's an excellent, dark, luscious liqueur.

Ratzeputz
This is like top 5 favorite things to have in my bar y’all. It’s insanely high in alcohol content, and also is GINGER liqueur, so it burns extra extra hard. Fernet plus Ratzeputz sounds crazy but it’s a great cocktail.

Rakomelo
I bought this at a Berlin Christmas Market one year. It tastes kind of like sweet tea… and thus tastes great in hot tea. 😏

Pimm’s No. 1
I’m like still not really sure what Pimm’s is. It’s some British shit I think. I always thought it was an essential part of a complete bar, but I barely ever use it.

Penninger Blutwurz Black Edition
Another herbal liqueur. I bought this one at a craft spirits festival in Berlin. The bottle is ceramic, which is kinda cool. It’s like twee badass…

Luxardo Maraschino
Gotta have it for Manhattans. It’s extremely sweet, I’m not sure there's any other reason to have it. Cool weavy basket label though…

Letherbee Bësk
This stuff is soooo gnarly. Like it’s straight up real nasty. Originally Letherbee brought it out as “Malort,” the classic Chicago shot, but they got sued so it’s called Bësk now.

KR/23
This is an herbal liqueur, like Jägermeister. Made in Berlin and has a nice label and cool name, so I guess that’s good. It’s really tasty.

Kahlúa
There are much better coffee liqueurs. But… I have this in my collection.

Jagermeister
🤷♂️ I think Jagermeister is fine.

Grand Marnier
I really dunno why I have this, but my dad always uses it on Thanksgiving to season a turkey. And there's a wax seal on it. idk, nothing special…

Creme de Cacao
Here’s and extremely lame bottle of Creme de Cacao. But honestly it’s what I use. It’s awesome in coffee, or to add a strange hint of chocolate to cocktails.
