Where should you start when you want to get into cocktail making? The first step is, of course, to buy your bar equipment. Don’t choose at random! The Cocktail Store offers you its expert advice to help you select a quality set without compromise.

What is bar equipment used for ?

Getting started with the refined art of mixology at home is made possible with the right bar equipment. This gear includes all the essential tools to craft your own cocktails. The quality of your creation largely depends on the bar equipment used to make it, which is why choosing your tools wisely is key. Whether you’re looking for a beginner bar kit or professional-grade equipment, our store will meet your expectations.

Making your own drinks, whether alcoholic or not, is not something to take lightly. Good bar equipment should be durable and sturdy to withstand your experiments, whether you’re an aspiring mixologist or a professional bartender!

Do you know the key criteria for choosing the bar equipment that will stay with you for years to come?

How to choose your bar equipment ?

Do you need a cocktail case or a simple kit to make a mojito without taking up too much space? Are you a passionate amateur or a professional? What are the key points you should never compromise on when buying your bar equipment?

– Precise measurement: precision is what makes the difference between a great cocktail and a supermarket-style mix. Your tools need to be accurate.

– Durability: if you’re buying bar equipment, make sure the pieces are strong. It would be a shame to break your muddler while preparing a mocktail, wouldn’t it?

– Safety: choose your bar equipment wisely—it must be fully stainless. Our store offers products that ensure your safety. If you’ve bought cheap bar equipment and notice it rusting or oxidizing,

What are the essential bar tools for a complete bar setup ?

Whether you’re looking to gift a professional bartender or equip yourself properly for your personal enjoyment, what should your bar equipment include? Here’s a list of accessories that will help you craft the best drinks!

– A jigger: also known as a cocktail measurer or bar measure, it’s essential for controlling the quantity of each ingredient in the magical potion you’re creating!

– Shaker: it’s the symbol of the bartender. Filled with ice, it chills and perfectly blends your drink’s ingredients.

– A bar spoon: it’s long (about thirty centimeters) and serves multiple purposes. Whether for stirring or emulsifying a mixture, the other end of the spoon can also be used as a muddler or a trident (to pick up whole fruits for your drink, for example).

– A muddler: essential for making mojitos and many other cocktails, the muddler is used to crush ingredients and release all their aromas.

– Cocktail strainer: it filters your freshly mixed drinks from the shaker. This strainer holds back ice, as well as pulp and fruit seeds. It can be built into the shaker, or separate.

Now you know how to choose your bartender equipment. Browse The Cocktail Store to find your ideal bartending tools!

No cocktail without the right glass ! From tiki glasses to whiskey tumblers, find what you’re looking for !

The glass is part of the cocktail. Whether you’re an amateur or a professional, we recommend getting a set of various types of glasses. This will give you the freedom to create your cocktails any way you like! Contrary to what one might think, choosing a glass for a festive drink isn’t just about looks.

Why choose your cocktail glass carefully ?

Choosing the glass that perfectly matches your drink is an art almost as vast as making the drink itself. When you sip a homemade cocktail or one at a bar, you’re tasting expertise—every one of your senses is awakened. Drinking a cocktail is an experience, and the glass plays a key role in it. Transparent, opaque, tin, glass, ceramic, with a flared or straight rim—the possibilities are endless! The Cocktail Store has decided to highlight its two favorite glasses: the Tiki glass and the whiskey glass. Follow our tips to serve the perfect cocktail!

The Tiki Glass : the glass for even more impressive exotic cocktails

Fan of exotic cocktails? Want to bring a tropical vibe to your home or your bar? The Tiki glass is particularly well-suited. Choose a completely transparent set to highlight the vibrant colors of an original cocktail. If you’d rather emphasize the uniqueness of an unusual glass, then go for the opacity of a ceramic Tiki glass. The Tiki statue originates from Maori and Polynesian cultures. That’s why it makes sense to reserve Tiki glasses for fruity, exotic cocktails—like those made with pineapple or coconut juice, for example. Be sure to choose a large-capacity set, as these drinks are best enjoyed very cold. You’ll need to pour your mixtures over a generous amount of ice!

The Whiskey Glass : a bartender’s essential

Looking for the perfect set of whiskey glasses? The Cocktail Store offers a wide range of glasses to fully enjoy this amber drink with its bold character! Keep in mind that depending on how it’s served, whiskey isn’t always poured into the same type of glass. To savor a quality straight whiskey, you’ll need a stemmed glass to avoid warming the alcohol and causing the most volatile aromas to evaporate.

For a whiskey cocktail, here are some glassware suggestions.

Old Fashioned

It’s the whiskey glass you see in the movies. Heavy and cylindrical, it has a thick, flat base. Decorated or not, it’s a short tumbler used to serve the famous “whiskey on the rocks.” This glass took its name from the cocktail itself.

Neat

If you’re looking for a glass to enjoy straight whiskey, the neat glass is perfectly suited for the job. More compact than the tulip glass, it allows the nose to detect the aromas at the same time as the tongue.

Rocking

Looking to impress your guests? The rocking glass features a tumbler-like design. Its base is rounded or shaped like a spinning top. Very useful for drinks that need to be swirled to fully release their potential!

Find the perfect cocktail shaker at The Cocktail Store

Remember that the three types of shakers are suited to different skill levels. To ensure complete hygiene, the shakers offered by our store are made of stainless steel. This material maintains your drink’s temperature and doesn’t oxidize. It also preserves the qualities of your cocktails. The Boston Shaker can be made of glass or stainless steel—it’s all a matter of preference. If you’re just starting out in the art of cocktail making, don’t think you can replace your cocktail shaker with a simple bar spoon. The latter is used to perfect a mix or prepare a cocktail with a carbonated beverage. Some drinks are simply impossible to make without a shaker. The vigorous mechanical movement and the bartender’s skill will determine the quality of a bar-worthy drink.

Amateur bartender or professional mixologist, find the shaker that suits you

If an amateur or professional bartender had to choose just one tool to master every cocktail, it would undoubtedly be the shaker. Used to mix multiple cocktail ingredients, it also chills the drink and harmonizes its various textures.

The only rule is to never use carbonated beverages in a stainless steel shaker. There are several types of shakers—discover the one that suits you best at your go-to cocktail store!

Which shaker for which use?

The Boston Shaker

It’s the oldest and also the simplest of the shakers. A metal tin fits over a mixing glass, which can be made of glass or stainless steel. If you work in a busy bar, it’s a great choice, as it’s relatively large and allows you to make several cocktails quickly. However, the Boston shaker requires skill, which is why we recommend it for professional and experienced bartenders.

The Parisian or Continental Shaker

It’s the perfect compromise between the Boston and the Cobbler. The French shaker consists of a tin and a stainless steel cap. Its modern design is particularly stylish. It’s suitable for beginner bartenders as it’s easier to handle. However, make sure to use an ice strainer alongside it.

The Cobbler Shaker

It’s the most complete option, ideal for any amateur bartender wanting to prepare a homemade cocktail. It’s especially easy to handle because the ice strainer is built into the set, which includes the tin and the cap. No risk of spilling everywhere! Purists may prefer other shakers. The Cobbler is perfect for beginner mixologists!

How to choose a good champagne bucket? 4 criteria to equip yourself properly

Contrary to what one might think, these four criteria are important when choosing the ideal champagne bucket. If you’re a professional bartender, you’ll probably need to get several buckets with different features. If you’re a beginner bartender or a mixologist simply making cocktails at home, you need to buy THE model that suits you. Choose wisely!

Capacity

The size of your champagne bucket should be adaptable to different occasions. To hold a magnum, multiple bottles, or even a jeroboam of champagne, choose a large-sized cooler! On the other hand, if you want to store it easily, go for a smaller format. In any case, make sure there’s enough space for the bottle—and for the ice!

Material

Generally speaking, a champagne bucket is made of stainless steel. Its properties are both hygienic and durable. It’s also the most efficient option over several hours. There are also acrylic coolers available. This plastic material is a matter of personal preference: some say it reduces the prestigious image of champagne, while others are completely drawn to the modern design of a plastic champagne bucket. Additionally, glass champagne buckets are fragile and prone to condensation.

Aesthetics

Whether in the shape of a bucket, with sleek curves, transparent, opaque, colorful, or illuminated, the champagne bucket dresses your bottle—so choose it wisely! It’s an accessory that stays on the table for several hours, so it’s essential to pick one that you truly like.

Design

Design and aesthetics are often confused. The design of a champagne bowl is very important depending on how you plan to use it. Whether it has handles, compartments dividing the bucket… These are all details that matter when it comes to actual use. For instance, if you’re serving wines that should be kept at different temperatures, you’ll make full use of a champagne bucket with multiple compartments. This will prevent you from serving, for example, a white wine that’s too warm.
