To get started, you should have the following tools in your home bar:
- 1 oz jigger (to measure the liquids)
- Shaker
- Strainer
- Bar spoon
- Wine opener
- Bottle opener
- Cocktail glasses
You can have some fun with glasses and additional tools later as there is no shortage of fun to be had and money to be spent. But for now, save some of that cash for good spirits and proper mixers (which we will cover in a separate post).
