Introduction to Barware: Essential Tools for Home Bartending

Whether you desire to unleash your inner bartender or simply want to be entitled as the best host ever, here are a few home bartending tools to have in your collection:

1. Bar spoons or stirrers:

One of the most neglected barware accessories! Most people replace a stirrer with a regular spoon. However, they forget that a stirrer is longer and specially designed with a twisted handle to mix the spirit aptly without breaking down the ice. Furthermore, it helps to create a well-balanced and layered drink even without a shaker.

2. Bottle opener:

A barware set is incomplete without a bottle opener. It can be used to open any bottled beverage from beer to breezers, mixers, pre-mix cocktails/mock tails, and even ketchup bottles.

Pro tip: Get a bottle opener that doubles as a fridge magnet or can be wall mounted for handy access.

3. Peg measurer:

A dual-sided bar tool used for measuring and vital for lounge-like cocktails.

4. Cocktail shaker:

Liquor, ice, mixers, syrups, juices, etc. are all poured, sealed, and mixed in a cocktail shaker. A good quality cocktail shaker is made from stainless steel and available in a variety of finishes.

5. Cocktail strainer:

As a cocktail shaker doesn’t come with a built-in strainer, once the mixture is shaken, it is filtered through a cocktail strainer and served.

6. Ice Bucket:

The answer to chilled beer, right-temperature wine, and no re-fill for on the rocks is a life-sized ice bucket!

7. Bar mats:

Because who wants to clean spills? Additionally, bar mats can also prevent slippage and thus breakage of wet, delicate, and expensive glasses.

Types of Bar Glasses and Barware

If you think any random glass is okay to serve any drink, think again. As the silhouette and thickness of the glass affect the drinking experience, the bar glasses set has to be a very well-thought purchase. Here is a quick guide on how to select the right glass for the right drink:

1. Old-Fashioned Rock Glasses:

These thick-bottomed drinkware glasses are ideal for whiskey or any cocktail that is made and served in the same glass. Example – Whiskey Sour.

2. Highball Bar Glasses:

A tall, narrow, and cylindrical shaped glass perfect to serve anything with a high ratio of mixer to spirit. Think gin & tonic or cocktails like Mojito, Long Island Iced Tea, etc.

3. Martini Glasses:

Unlike other cocktails, martinis require peculiar glasses to serve. They should have a wide rim, are usually V-shaped, have a stemmed body, and be freezer-safe.

4. Wine Glasses:

Though there is a different glass for every type of wine, a tulip-shaped glass that gives enough room to stir, whiff and sip should suffice. They can also double as champagne glasses if you are not looking to invest in a set.

5. Beer Glasses:

Beer glasses should be tall, wide, and big enough to pour an entire pint/can and should sit easily in the hand. Brownie points if the material is borosilicate so that the beer can stay chilled for longer. When not serving beer, these glasses can be used to serve smoothies, milkshakes, juices, etc.
