items I love a good cocktail! This list has everything you need to host a fabulous happy hour at your home! From mixers and must-have tools to charcuterie boards and recipe books—get ready to stir, shake, and impress.
I have tried this and love it! These are high-quality mixers and syrups. This one is especially good because espresso martinis are notoriously difficult to make. When you shake this, you get the proper foamy crema on top. Excellent! It's a must-buy!
Cheeky Cocktails - Espresso Martini Kit
My second favorite from Cheeky Cocktails. Their syrups are so good. Just add vodka!
Cheeky Cocktails - Cosmopolitan Kit
If you need some fabulous glasses, these are beau-ti-ful! I like the classic clear glass, but you may prefer the blue, green or pink!
Mariposa Fine Line Coupe
If you prefer a coupe with a thinner stem, these are a great choice. They are hand-blown glass and artisanal. They come packed in a beautiful box as well.
Crystal Cocktail & Champagne Glasses
Sometimes I prefer stemless glasses and I loooove these because of the light-catching prism base. These look so elegant on a table!
Dioptre Stemless Martini Glasses
Toast in six languages with these fun and fabulous flutes!
Cheers Champagne Flutes
Every bar needs a set of highball glasses for Old Fashions, Manhattans or whiskey straight up! These are beautiful clear crystal.
Lemonsoda Vintage Highball Glass
You need coasters to protect your surfaces. I prefer these because the gold accents match the gold in my bar tools and bar cart.
Marble Coasters with Gold Brass Inlay
These are 100% natural gemstones. I love the irregular shapes; it gives a organically beautiful feel to your bar area.
Rose Quartz Pink Crystal Coasters
This is commercial-grade, stainless steel with a gold plated finish. It's got everything you need to get started as a mixologist.
Belmont Barware Set
This fits in with a variety of decorating styles - whether it's modern or farmhouse. This has plenty of space for all of your bar tools, mixers, bottles, and glasses.
Rattan Wine Bar Cabinet with Drawer
Sometimes you want to move to where the party is! The caster wheels let you (with brakes) ket you set up anywhere. This one is unique because of the faux marble and the rotating turntable.
Paukin Gold Bar Cart
These are great for making, and serving, batches of margaritas or sangria.
Glass Pitchers with Lid
I looked high and low for a stylish way to serve and store my cocktail garnishes. I finally found these ones! These are super cute and I love the gold accents to match the rest of my gold trim.
Drink Garnish Jars
In case you want an apron to protect your clothes while acting as mixologist - this is a really chic one from famous NYC cocktail bar, Death & Co.
Death & Co X Tilit Apron
You'll definitely need a cutting board for prepping all of your garnishes. Mini-sized ones like this are perfect! I like black because they hide stains.
Restaurant Bar Boards - Mini
This is a really cool find! Just add whiskey or brandy and let sit for 24-48 hours. Now you have "Old Fashioned" cocktails ready-to-go!
Dehydrated Wisconsin Old Fashioned Cocktail Mix - Mini Bar Lush
Why use toothpicks or paper umbrellas when you can use these stylish picks! Check out the website for other styles.
Lucky Charm Cocktail Picks
Fun and flirty cocktail napkins!
"Just a Tini Bit Older" Birthday Cocktail Napkins
I've bought many items from this company. I've never been disappointed. I love the marble and gold of this serving board.
Sunshine Cheese Board
I own this and can vouch for it's quality. I love the “extras” it comes with, which include 4 cheese knives and skewers. I alos love that the knife holder is magnetized to the board.
Bamboo Charcuterie Board with Accessories
