This multifunctional station is an indispensable everyday hub. Here’s how you can take it to the next level during the holidays and combine practicality, versatility and elegance all at once.
1. BAR TOOLS AND BEYOND:
Start with a reliable shaker, bar spoon, jigger, muddler, strainer and measure. Shaken or stirred, you’ll have it all covered.
2. AN ARRAY OF GLASSWARE:
Glencairns and tulips for sipping neat, tumblers for spirit-forward drinks plus highballs and coupes for specialty cocktails. This variety will cater to everyone’s tastes.
3. SCOTCH AS THE STAR:
Having The Glenlivet on hand is essential if you plan to offer a wide variety of elevated serves and cocktails. Round out your options with various other spirits, syrups, bitters and mixers.
4. FESTIVE TRIMMINGS:
Add seasonal, scotch-friendly ingredients like rosemary sprigs, cranberry juice, nutmeg, cinnamon and bubbly toppers like champagne for added charm and flavor.
5. ELEGANT ADDITIONS:
Think of your bar cart as a blank canvas, where flourishes like engraved decanters, tailored signage and seasonal décor can put your colorful personality on display.
BONUS:
Add a cocktail smoker to the mix if you really want to impress guests. The charred-wood aromas, enveloping clouds and enhanced flavors create a total sensory experience.
