Essential Bar Equipment
Overview
You don’t need to be a professional bartender to craft exceptional drinks; the right tools make all the difference. Many of the utensils you need might already be in your kitchen. For those you need to purchase, opt for items that are easy to clean, like stainless steel and glass.
Must-Have Bar Tools
Cocktail Shaker
A cocktail shaker is essential for mixing drinks that combine challenging ingredients like egg yolks, liqueurs, and creams.
- Three-Part Shaker: Includes a beaker, lid, and built-in strainer to keep out ice and fruit seeds. However, cleaning the strainer can be difficult, and it pours slowly.
- Two-Part Boston Shaker: Consists of a large stainless-steel beaker and a smaller lead-crystal beaker, which doubles as a mixing glass. It’s more popular among professionals for its ease of use.
Bar Strainer
A round, stainless-steel bar strainer is crucial when using a two-part shaker or mixing glass. Its coiled edge fits snugly on top, ensuring no ice or fruit slips into your drink. In a pinch, a tea strainer can serve the same purpose.
Mixing Glass
For drinks that should be stirred rather than shaken?"like clear cocktails?"invest in a mixing glass with a 1-quart capacity. It's ideal for making multiple drinks at once.
Bar Spoon
A long-handled bar spoon is versatile for stirring, measuring, and crushing ingredients. Typically 10 inches long, it's made of stainless steel or silver. On one end, a muddler helps crush herbs or sugar cubes; on the other, the spoon holds 1/6 ounce of liquid. It’s perfect for layering liqueurs without mixing them.
Bar Whisk
Useful for whisking and mixing, a bar whisk can also be a practical addition to your toolkit.
Double-Ended Bar Measure
Precise measurement is key in cocktail crafting. A double-ended bar measure, or pony-jigger, is typically stainless steel with a 1-ounce pony and a 1.5- to 2-ounce jigger. Look for easy-to-read internal markings. Alternatively, a shot glass with measurements or standard kitchen spoons can be used.
By equipping your home bar with these essential tools, you'll be well-prepared to mix and enjoy a variety of drinks, impressing guests with your bartending skills.
