Hard-to-find liquor in Orlando: where Reddit looks
Reddit's r/orlando was asked where to find niche bottles the big chains don't carry, such as tiki ingredients and unusual rums. This sums up that one thread. It is about five years old and closed to new comments, so check a store before you drive.

The clear favourite
Most replies sent the person to Five Star Liquor & Wine in Longwood. They went, and came back to say the selection was great and the range of Hamilton rums was wide, though the one liqueur they were after was not on the shelf that day.
Several people said the owner will order a bottle he doesn't stock. One warned that for something unusual you may have to buy a whole case.

Other shops named
Antonio's in Maitland and BevFly were both suggested for special orders. Country Discount Liquor in Sorrento was praised for tracking bottles down, sometimes after a wait of months. Knightly Spirits and Pat's each got a mention, and Tim's Wine Market was recommended for its knowledgeable staff by someone unsure whether it sells spirits.

Total Wine and special orders
People disagreed about Total Wine. One said that if it isn't there you won't find it in Orlando; others said its range is wide but shallow and that small shops turn up more interesting bottles.
Two people pointed out that ABC and Total Wine will special-order anything in their inventory, and one had a bottle arrive through ABC in a few days. Someone who works in the trade added that if a product is sold to bars in Florida, a store can get it too.
