So you now have that cool bar cart, and you've loaded it with your favorite liquor bottles. Something missing? Well, it’s time to add some cocktail bar tools for your cocktail nights. In this guide we'll touch on the basic items you need to be able to make delicious cocktails at home!

1. Shaker 

A cocktail shaker is an essential tool in mixology. Shaking your drink gives a good mix of all ingredients, and most importantly lets them chill with ice cubes with minimal dilution.

2. Strainer

Many cocktail recipes require ingredients to be mixed in a cocktail shaker with ice. To ensure ice cubes or chunks don’t enter the glass, a strainer provides a barrier for these large ingredients while allowing the liquid to pour out.

3. Bar Spoon

An essential part of any bar. A bar spoon mixes drinks either in a drinking glass or in a mixing glass. The main characteristic of bar spoons that separates them from other spoons is the twisted stem. This corkscrew design aids stirring and is also used for layering cocktails.
