Can you please make a tutorial on Home bar setup ideas or something related to it?

First of all, obsessed with that seltzer bottle but what I mean to say is that I’m obsessed with this entire guide (and all your cocktails for that matter). I seriously love that you included Bittermilk. Tastiest cocktail mixers, ever.

So many interesting things in this gift guide! That growler is the coolest!
