We recently went over the must-haves items needed when starting your home bar, and by now you may want to start expanding it. The best next step is to get a bar set into your collection. These sets are known to include a combination of intricate tools for cocktail making as well as a basic or two. You can never have too many of the essentials.

  1. Jigger – The start of any good cocktail is knowing the amount of alcohol, and the jigger lets you measure that. While the name may be funny-sounding thereโ€™s an interesting history behind it, but thatโ€™s for another time. The jigger comes with two shot sizes, the smaller holds 0.75oz while the larger one holds 1.5oz of liquor. 
  2. Bottle opener – If you read our Essentials for Every Home Bar you know that a bottle opener is a must-have. You can keep one in your kitchen and one in your home bar! No more searching for a bottle opener at the last minute.
  3. Stirring spoon – While James Bond might prefer his drink shaken not stirred, itโ€™s always good to keep a stirring spoon on hand and ready to go. 
  4. Cocktail strainer – For those who do prefer their drinks shaken, a good strainer is a must. This prevents the ice from a cocktail shaker to be poured into the serving glass. Tip: pour new ice into the drink after mixing.

This bar set is the best addition to your home bar as itโ€™s stylish, useful, and easy to clean. Visit our website and check out the Cosmo Bar Set and other barware
