A great cocktail or mocktail starts with the right tools. Here a few must-have home bar or bar cart tools for great drinks. Cocktails anyone!
Cocktail Shaker Set:
A standard cocktail shaker has a perforated strainer and lid.
The Hawthorne strainer is great for keeping ice and other ingredients from being poured in the serving glass.
Jig is a double-sided, hourglass shaped measuring cup. Typically, the larger side is one jig (or 1 1/2 oz), the smaller side is half a jig (or 3/4 oz).
Mixing Glass Set:
The mixing glass is used for stirred cocktails.
This set also comes with a Hawthorne strainer.
I typically pair this set with a two ounce measuring cup for more accurate measurements.
Additional Bar Tools:
Fine sieve used for keeping small bits from being poured into the serving glass.
The bar spoon is a long handled spoon used for stirring cocktails in your mixing glass.
Muddler is used for crushing ingredients like herbs in the glass (think Mojitos).
Two ounce measuring cup, perfect for 2 oz to 1/2 oz measurements.
Citrus zester is perfect for garnishing your cocktails.
