Re: liquor recommendations
See that's hard because it really depends on what they drink.
Some people are Scotch drinkers, some are Whiskey drinkers, etc. It's such a personal taste thing when it comes to hard stuff.
Wine is pretty universal, you know?
I think you'd really have to find out what they drink, but if you can't, I think vodka is a pretty safe bet. Something good like Grey Goose or Ketel One.

Re: liquor recommendations
I'd say vodka, too. Unless you know they like something sweet- then you could go for like a Godiva liquer or something unusual.

I disagree, if you don't know what they like a very general wine would be better
Riesling, light summer blush etc. If you live near Syosset, go to POST wines, they are amazing at this.
BUT, If you go with a liquor what about a Bailys or a Honey Jack, something flavored??

Re: liquor recommendations
problem is waited to the last minute person is leaving today so i have to run out at lunch.
i guess since i dont drink wine and neither does my DH i feel that wine isnt always the best go to because not everyone drinks wine.
i looked at pics on the page and anytime there is a pic of them with a drink its been a mixed drink so i figured she might like liquor better then wine. i was leaning towards vodka or rum but maybe i will just stick with wine. guess she can always re-gift it if she doesnt like it

Re: liquor recommendations
When I don't know what someone likes, I usually get something native from Long Island. LIV Vodka, or a local wine. At least that way, even if they don't like the drink, it has some connection to them since it's grown/made nearby.
I love LIV Vodka. One of the few vodkas I can actually drink straight.

I think a flavored drink would be fine, I'm not much of a drinker and Honey Jack, from Jack Daniels or an Irish Whisky is good, it will last a long time without spoiling once opened too .
OOPS, I just realized you said Rum, YES, go with it !!!

Re: liquor recommendations
I honestly would stick with wine if you don't know.
I know so many people who have one type of liquor they just won't drink, including vodka.

http://lispirits.com/product/original-vodka/
80 proof, made in Baiting Hollow. They also make other liquors.
http://lispirits.com/spirits/
Gin, Bourbon, Whiskey, flavored Sorbetta. All locally distilled.
I haven't had the other spirits, but I've always got a bottle of LIV in the house...

or get a gift card
Although I drink liquor, I can think of a bunch that would go unused in my house. I'd have to just put them out at parties and someone might drink them.
I drink tequila and gin primarily. I would not drink whiskey. I have rum and vodka ni the house, but don't really drink it myself, just keep it to mix drinks for others or for a punch at a party sometimes.
basically, I feel wine is more universal if you don't have an inkling of what they drink

If you don't know then a bottle of champagne - veuve clicquot is always a great choice. It's a very classy gift they will
Enjoy.
