Searching for stores whose booze selections go beyond 72 flavored vodkas? Here’s a handy list — compiled directly from the comments of savvy drinkboston readers — of retailers of spirits and other ingredients you need to make classic and classic-inspired cocktails. Think rye whiskey, amari, Haus Alpenz liqueurs, various bitters, falernum, Old Tom gin, rum agricole, shrub, good vermouth and a lot of other stuff that’s otherwise hard to find. Got any worthy additions to the list? Make your case at drinkboston at comcast dot net. And by the way, most of these places have great beer and wine selections, too. Cheers!
