    Costco carries plenty of alcoholic options to pack your bar, from wine and beer to premium liquors.

    Savvy shoppers know that one way to get the most out of your membership is to buy quality store-label liquors.

    So, which Kirkland Signature options are the best for your bar? Check out these prime choices to see which ones are right for you.

    1. Kirkland Signature Canadian Whisky

    If you love Crown Royal but don’t like the price tag, you may want to give Costco’s Kirkland Signature Canadian Whisky a try. Fans say the taste is similar to Crown Royal but for a fraction of the cost.

    One reviewer even declared it smoother and better tasting than the name-brand version.

    2. Kirkland Signature French Vodka

    The Kirkland Signature French Vodka may give you Grey Goose vibes with its citrus tones and smooth finish, but don’t expect to pay the same price as you would for the popular top-shelf vodka.

    Like most alcohol under the Kirkland Signature label, the French Vodka tends to be cheaper than the name brand — expect to pay around $30 for a 1.75-liter bottle.

    3. Kirkland Signature Blended Scotch Whiskey

    Scotch drinkers may want to give Costco’s Kirkland Signature Blended Scotch Whiskey a try.

    The whiskey is aged 12 years, and tones of caramel and spice give it a smooth finish reminiscent of Dewar’s. Kirkland Signature Blended Scotch is great in mixed drinks or simply on the rocks.

    Another aged liquor on Costco’s shelves is the Kirkland Signature Tequila Anejo — one of several tequilas sold under the Kirkland Signature name.

    Tequila Anejo is aged at least 12 months in oak barrels, giving it an oaky taste with hints of vanilla. This makes it great for a margarita or a delicious shot.

    5. Kirkland Signature American Vodka

    If you want to try a different kind of vodka, check out the Kirkland Signature American Vodka to add to drinks.

    The American version is made with springwater and grains straight from the U.S. heartland, giving it a distinct flavor that’s delicious on the rocks or in your martini.

    6. Kirkland Signature Irish Cream

    If Irish coffee is your after-dinner treat of choice, you may want to try Kirkland Signature Irish Cream. It’s comparable to big-name Bailey’s but won't give you the same sticker shock.

    Kirkland Signature Irish Cream is great on the rocks, in your coffee, or as a cocktail mixer. If you’re in the mood for a boozy dessert, pour a little over some vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

    7. Kirkland Signature London Dry Gin

    Instead of paying big bucks for a bottle of Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray, check out the Costco version to give your gin cocktails a top-shelf taste.

    The Kirkland Signature London Dry Gin has a floral hint and clean finish, making it great as a mix-in for gin and tonic or a dry martini.

    8. Kirkland Signature Cognac XO

    Cognac is a great staple to have on hand for after-dinner sipping or mixing for delicious cocktails, and Costco has you covered.

    Try the Kirkland Signature Cognac XO in your next Manhattan, Tom Collins, or Sidecar. It’s also a great mixer for a traditional Mint Julip for your Kentucky Derby watch party.

    9. Kirkland Signature Spiced Rum

    Spiced rum can be a great addition to cola and any number of tropical cocktails, but who wants to spend a ton on Kraken or top-shelf Captain Morgan?

    Check out the shelves at your local Costco for some Kirkland Signature Spiced Rum and compare it to other name brands, and you’ll be surprised at how well it holds up.

    Kentucky is known for its bourbon, and Kirkland Signature gives you a good idea of why. It’s a well-loved spirit made at the famous Barton 1792 distillery in Kentucky.

    Kirkland Signature Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has hints of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and molasses that give it a full taste for sipping straight or mixing for cocktails.
