We've rounded up the tastiest sips from this week's posts so you don't miss anything delicious!
This Week in Serious Eats: Drinks
1. Stocking The Bar: Which Bottles Are Essential To You?
"Here's one person's list of 12 must-have bottles, but tell us: which spirits do you always keep in your home bar?" 2. DIY vs. Buy: Should I Make My Own Coffee Liqueur?
"Homemade coffee liqueur tastes rich and full without any syrupy sweetness. If you're picky about coffee, you can use your favorite beans in your own liqueur, and you have the option of playing with the spirit base as well." 3. We Tried Every Trader Joe's "Trader Moon" Wine
"While a few of the wines were forgettable, we were pleasantly surprised by a couple of bottles that, for $6 each, we'd be happy to pick up again. " 4. Cocktail 101: Five Essential Highballs

"It has more flavor than most of its peers, which can be a dangerous thing at this price level, but Game Day Ice pulls it off reasonably well." 10. That's the Spirit: Art in the Age Root, Snap, and Rhuby Liqueurs
