A curated reference across every major spirit category — with the best bottles to buy, explore, and avoid, evaluated purely for mixing utility.
Every spirit here is evaluated on a single axis: utility at the bar. The best splurge rewards the investment in cocktails, not just in the glass. The overrated call is made without apology. Six bottles, six tiers, eight categories.
Bottle tiers are derived from r/cocktails community rankings — community data, not house editorial.
