The essential tools for a home bar

Shaker, jigger, bar spoon, mixing glass and strainers: the basic tools for making the great cocktail classics at home.

Bar tools, ice and a shaker on a counter

There is no need to buy all the equipment of a professional bar to make good cocktails. Five tools are enough for most of the great classics, shaken or stirred.

1. A shaker

For cocktails made with juice, syrup or egg. A Cobbler to start with, a Boston to go further.

2. A jigger

The jigger measures every ingredient. A cocktail is a matter of balance: a few millilitres too many and the recipe tips over.

3. A bar spoon

Long and twisted, the bar spoon stirs cocktails in the mixing glass and also measures small quantities.

4. A mixing glass

For cocktails made only of spirits, such as the Negroni or the Old Fashioned: the mixing glass chills and dilutes without clouding the drink.

5. Strainers

The Hawthorne strainer for the shaker, the Julep for the mixing glass, the fine strainer for double straining: find them in our strainers.

To get everything at once, our cocktail kits bring these tools together in one set.
