BAR TOOLS
You don’t necessarily need these bar accessories, but they can make bartending more fun and easier. For instance, I still use a canning jar and lid as a shaker. Of course, any pitcher and spoon will work. However, a muddler is nice for mint in mojitos, a wine opener is pretty much a have-to-have item, and a speed pourer sure keeps drips to a minimum!
- Knife & cutting board
- Ice accessories – fun molds or ice machine
- Bar tongs
- Wine opener
- Bottle opener
- Jigger/or another measuring tool
- Speed pourers
- Boston shaker
- Hawthorne strainer
- Fine/tea strainer (bar set)
- Bar Spoon
- Muddler
- Fruit/juice press
