If you have a Beverages and More around, they are great for the little
bottles. Liquor stores also usually carry them. But for $3-4 a
bottle, it's often better to get a nice 375 or 750 ml bottle of a
preferred bev for a bit more. Some say to only cook with alcohol you'd
want to drink, but I think that's flexible. Whiskey and brandy always
seem to give me good results in recipes, no matter how cheap the hooch.
Rum cooking requires a decent rum! Sherry, Marsala and the like are
cheap anyway, so why not get a whole bottle and make a bunch of recipes
that call for 'em.

When you do pick the "motif" you like, get a bottle of that stuff and
keep it around.
