It has taken me about two years of monthly trips to the liquor store to get the bar stocked. My suggestion to you and the pocketbook is to get a bottle of liquor and a bottle something else each trip (makes it about $50 a trip). After a while you should have enough to make just about anything in the Grog Log.
