What are the essential tools and glassware needed to create a modern home bar from scratch?


To set up a modern home bar from scratch, you need: a cocktail shaker (cobbler or Boston style), a bar spoon for stirring, a jigger for measuring, a strainer, a muddler for herbs and citrus, an ice bucket with tongs, a decanter for spirits, and a range of glassware including rocks glasses, highballs, coupes or martini glasses, and wine glasses. A quality cutting board, a citrus juicer, and a bar mat complete the setup. Invest in pieces that you will use regularly design quality matters here because the bar is always on show.
