5 items to level up your at-home cocktail game

Whether you just find it a bit too blustery out this season to hit the streets and head to your favorite bar, or you’re still social distancing away from the crowds, if you’ve been making more cocktails at home, you’ve likely realized something. There’s a big difference between the rum and coke that you stirred together in your pjs and the craft cocktail that you order at the local watering hole. Don’t think that the difference all comes down to talent, though. One big thing that separates you from your fav bartender is all the tools they have at their disposal — tools like these that can help you level up your at-home cocktail game. 

If you don’t already have the basics for making cocktails at home, you can start with this seven-piece mixology set that includes some of the key tools for making even your most standard cocktails. Whether you’re muddling some mint for a mojito or just measuring out the proper quantities for a perfect old fashioned, this kit has your back.

But what good is a cocktail kit if you don’t actually have any glasses to actually put your cocktail in? This elegant set of four crystal, 10-ounce glasses are just the thing for your favorite whiskey, scotch or cognac-based drinks, or for just drinking your favorite adult beverages on the rocks or straight up.
Keep those drinks cool, with a set of whiskey stones. This gift set includes eight granite whiskey rocks that keep your spirit or cocktail at the perfect temperature for sipping for hours at a time, without ever watering down your drink. The set also comes with a pair of handy tongs.
One of the things that really helps a cocktail from a bar or restaurant stand out over a cocktail you made at home? The fine details and little touches. These cocktail picks will add a little extra flourish to your drink, whether you’re garnishing a martini with stuffed olives or your favorite fruity drink with a skewer full of fresh berries.
Another kit, this cocktail set includes several extra items that you won’t find in the others. The cocktail shaker is an absolute must-have for making just about any cocktail that contains more than just one or two ingredients, and the two pourer spouts help you to better measure out your favorite spirits, without wasting a single drop.

Making your favorite cocktails is easy — so long as your bar cart is stocked with the right tools. After all, you wouldn’t expect yourself to be able to create a killer steak dinner without basic kitchenware, so why are you expecting yourself to make an amazing drink without the very necessary gear? These kits and stand-alone items combine to give you everything you need to impress your friends — and your tastebuds — with your next batch of libations, no matter what your cocktail preferences.
