According to Eddie, a well-stocked bar would include ice-cold, top-quality vodka (keep in freezer), rye whiskey (for the Old-Fashioned), Kentucky bourbon, single-malt scotch, and tequila—all at room temperature—plus dry white French vermouth, dark and medium rums, tonic, bitters, and liqueurs.
Additionally there would be plenty of ice; bucket and tongs, red and white wines for guests who prefer wine, water, club soda, soft drinks, and fruit juices, a metal cocktail shaker to stir the vodka, vermouth, and ice for the Classic Dry Martini and a strainer for martinis.
