Stocking a bar doesn’t have to be intimidating—or prohibitively expensive. All you really
need is a handful of home bar
essentials (many of which you might already have in your kitchen) and the bottles required
to make your favorite
cocktails. From there you can add tools and spirits as you develop your bartending skills
and expand your repertoire.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or giving your bar a much-needed refresh after two
years of happy hour at home,
here’s everything you need to make great drinks, plus a few extras to enhance your overall
cocktail experience.
</p>
<p>
The secret to a great drink is balance, and in order to achieve the perfect ratio of boozy,
bitter, and sweet, you need
to properly measure your ingredients—especially when you’re just starting out. But leave the
two-sided jigger to the
professionals and get yourself a much more useful tiny measuring cup marked with every
increment you need to make a
cocktail. There’s a reason this is at the top of our home bar essentials list: It’s the best
bar tool an aspiring home
bartender can buy. If you get yourself just one thing, this should be it.
</p>
<p>
Like a mixing glass, a cocktail shaker isn’t technically necessary because you can use a
wide-mouth mason jar with a
Hawthorne strainer (see below). But if your favorite cocktails are shaken not stirred, a
good shaker will make mess-free
work of shaking, and especially pouring, cocktails like daiquiris and Margaritas.
</p>
<p>
Mixers are a must for any home bar, but the ones you use will depend on what you and your
housemates like to drink. It’s
always a good idea to stock up on club soda and tonic water, but you might also want a spicy
ginger beer for a Moscow
Mule or a fancy soda to offer a guest (with or without booze). Some home bartenders keep a
small stash of shelf-stable
tomato juice or Bloody Mary mix and cranberry juice too. Juice-forward drinks like the
Tequila Sunrise are better when
you squeeze your own orange juice (and make your own grenadine). You can buy simple syrup,
but it’s better when you make
it, though thinned agave nectar is often a good substitute for simple syrup when you’re
using an agave spirit like
tequila or mezcal (and sometimes when you’re not).
</p>
<p>
If your meticulously measured and perfectly balanced drink still feels like it’s missing
something, it’s probably a
garnish. Again, how you garnish your cocktail will depend on what you’re drinking, but if
you have your bar stocked with
fresh citrus, the good maraschino cherries, martini olives, and maybe even cocktail onions
(my personal favorite for a
perfect Gibson), you’ll be set. But if you don’t want to stop there, you can always take
your garnish to the next level
with a cute cocktail pick.

Cocktail making is an art form, there is no doubt about that. However, even if you are a
complete beginner, there are a
few shortcuts you can take to level up fairly quickly—paint by numbers, if you will.
If you are in the process of learning how to make cocktails at home, we’ve got you sorted!
These nine insider tips will
set the stage for success right from the start.
</p>
<p>
First things first, when you are learning to make cocktails, you do not need to splash out
and buy all the ingredients
at once. You are 100% allowed to build up your drinks repertoire slowly but surely, adding
to it as you go.
For cocktail beginners, we’d recommend starting with high-quality vodka and a great gin as
this will allow you to make a
variety of classic drinks. As you experiment more, add some bourbon or rum.
For mixers, we’d suggest having a few effervescent options like club soda, sparkling water
and ginger beer, as well as
fruit juices like cranberry and orange. Add a simple syrup, fresh lemons, limes and ice, and
you’ll be ready to create a
variety of tasty drinks already.
</p>
<p>
Next up, it’s time to start building your cocktail-making kit. Again, you don’t need to get
everything all at once—take
your time in collecting it if you have to and throw out a few well-placed hints for birthday
gifts among your nearest
and dearest.
<br>
Here are the six basic pieces of cocktail making equipment we suggest you start with:
<br>
<b>Cocktail shaker.</b> Regular shakers hold an 18-ounce volume and the larger ones 28
ounces. The
cobbler shaker is a nice
all-in-one solution that features a metal tin for mixing, a cap that measures an ounce, as
well as a built-in strainer.
<br>
<b>Jigger.</b> A jigger is a handy measuring cup with a single shot on one end and a double
on the
other.
<br>
<b>Bar spoon.</b> This is a long spoon used to stir cocktails that are served in tall
glasses.
Strainer. A strainer is used with a cocktail shaker to keep all the ice and debris out of
your cocktail when you pour.
<br>
<b>Muddler.</b> A muddler is a great tool for crushing fruit and herbs to release their
lovely
flavors.
<br>
<b>Tongs.</b> A pair of tongs will make you look like the ultimate pro when adding garnishes
and
ice to cocktails.

When learning how to mix cocktails, you are likely to come across all sorts of premixes and
drink cordials. These are
all good and well, and will definitely allow you to put together an okay-ish drink quite
quickly. However, if you want
to treat your guests to something spectacular, we always recommend using fresh ingredients.
There is just something magical about a lovingly made drink that features the zesty notes of
hand-squeezed lime or lemon
juice, or the gorgeous green notes of freshly muddled mint or basil. It always leaves a
lasting impression. The process
takes a little longer, sure, but the extra effort will always be worth your while.
