A fine cocktail isn’t a fine one if its not made with the tools of the trade. All you need is a cocktail shaker, strainer and a good bottle opener. You can also use a jigger for measuring each drink.

Glassware

The normal glassware available in your kitchen cabinet will do more than good. But both your bar and your drinks will look so much appealing when you have the right glassware for the cocktail du jour. Wine glasses, bucket glasses and shot glasses are great staples for a home bar.

Alcohol

The alcohol is obviously the “meat and potatoes” of your home bar, so-to-say.
