01. Weighted Shaker Tin | $30
A quality shaker set is the perfect place to start your home bartending journey and an absolute must-have. This copper-plated one is sleek, properly weighted, and durable—it’s as good as new after having shaking up A LOT of cocktails!
02. Bell Jigger | $19
Making good cocktails is like baking—you HAVE TO get the measurements right. Enter the jigger. 1 oz on one side, 2 oz on the other, with 1/4 oz measurements for accuracy. Bonus points for the bell shape, which is really easy to handle.
03. Fine Mesh Strainer | $10
To strain out those little ice shards, pulp, seeds, etc., making sure that martini is extra smooth and sippable. Rock a copper one to match your shaker set, or go with another color for some cool contrast.
04. Cocktail Mixing Glass | $16
Many classic cocktails (Manhattan, Negroni, Old-Fashioned, the list goes on…) are stirred not shaken. So a mixing glass is a top priority, and this one performs really well—not to mention it also serves as our straw holder!
05. Swiss Peeler | $3
When a drink recipe calls for a citrus peel, add a citrus peel. That little bit of citrus oil is often like a pinch of salt that brings everything to life. We have a dedicated peeler just for cocktails, and at around $5 it’s a no-brainer.
06. Bar Spoon | $6.99
A sturdy, long bar spoon makes all the difference when stirring up cocktails. Be sure to get a decent one so you’re not on the market again in a few months.
07. Bar Strainer | $16
Fits atop a mixing glass as well as a shaker set to help strain out any particles that may be in the drink. Oftentimes drinks are ‘double strained,’ which means you’ll use this along with a fine mesh strainer.
