16 Bar Cart Essentials for Creating Perfect Cocktails at Home
A shopping guide built around the bar cart's resurgence (thank "Mad Men" and mid-century design trends), it walks new owners through the 16 essentials needed to stock one properly. It covers the full gamut—bottle openers, mixing glasses, strainers, shakers, jiggers, muddlers, three distinct glassware styles (rocks, highball, coupe), ice buckets, wine stoppers, a bartending knife, a cocktail reference book, and even a non-alcoholic mixer option—plus a reminder to stock the five core base spirits, with a delivery-service plug for sourcing them. Worth keeping as a practical checklist/gift-guide for setting up a home bar from scratch.
