Raise a glass to bar essentials (and the people you can rely on to pour a great drink).
Life advice: have a beautiful home bar, or have a friend who has a beautiful home bar. As the holiday season approaches, we’re raising a glass to these six gorgeous drink-making essentials that add a stylish element to home bartending.
These hand-blown, hand-dyed glasses ($105 each) from NY-based Kokomo are sturdy enough to become a go-to but pretty enough to place centre stage on any bar cart. Because the glasses are made individually, each one is completely unique. muckernextdoor.com
Is there anything more chic than a tray full of cocktails and accoutrements? We think not, and the Grib tray ($115) from Copenhagen-based Ferm Living proves us right. With a handy-dandy rounded handle and powder-coated finish, this piece will take you from cozy-by-the-fire to backyard barbecue with ease. oldfaithfulshop.com
West Elm is bringing glam to the home bar with their brass and marble Deco barware collection ($120). It comes with every tool necessary for an elegant cocktail party. westelm.ca
These handmade glass tiled coasters ($24) from Subtle Art Studio bring some trendy and colourful checkerboard-chic style to any side table. Plus, they are durable enough for both hot items and your favourite frosty drink. heyjudeshop.com
This sleek ice bucket ($80) from Crate and Barrel brings contemporary style with a matte graphite finish and warm acacia wood lid. It’s double-walled so ice stays cold with less condensation, making more time for cocktail sipping and less for counter wiping. crateandbarrel.ca
No need to leave the house when you can pour brewery-level suds with this undercounter beverage dispenser ($6,739) from True Residential. If beer’s not the vibe, it’s also configured to pour nitro coffee or cold brew. handyappliances.ca
