Everyone has that one friend who knows how to make a good drink, why not join in their knowledge and make your Woodbridge rental the place to hang instead? Upgrading your bar cart, or lack thereof, is just the place to start.

When it comes to a fully functioning bar, there are must haves and just wants. For our purposes, we’ll stick with the must haves. Firstly, you don’t need to buy an actual bar cart. You can turn almost anything into a bar cart as long as it has space to store your alcohol. Some favorites are an old bookcase, a shelf or two of a bookcase, a coffee table with wheels, or even the top of your fridge.

Once you’ve got you bar space figured out, you’ll need the correct tools. Starting with cocktails, which are either shaken or stirred, you’re going to need one of two tools. If you’re of the shaken persuasion, a cocktail shaker is needed, unless you want a mess. You can buy one that will get the job done for less than you think or go all out and buy one that will keep your ice chilled and make a statement at the same time. For those who enjoy a stirred drink, a cocktail stirrer won’t cost much and a spoon from your drawer is even cheaper.

Mojitos, Old-fashioneds, and other cocktails will require muddling to get them right. Nothing in your Woodbridge rental should be used as a muddler unless it is a muddler. You’ll also need something to measure out the ingredients so your drinks have the perfect blend of mixer and booze. You can use the ounces side of a measuring cup you already have, or buy a tiny drink measurer that will look cute on display with all your other upgraded bar tools and accessories.

Once you’ve updated your Woodbridge rental bar cart, or area, with these must-have tools, don’t forget to learn how to make your favorite drinks! The key is trial and error. Happy mixing!
