The WoW Style

If you are considering some renovation in your house, make sure to ponder on setting up a home bar. It is an obvious choice for the admirer of those pumping boozes, it can also be a godsend for those to relish it occasionally. It is the perfect time to build your personal bar at home, especially if you need a little motivational liquid to beat the lockdown blues.

When it comes to setting up a home bar, things easily get perplexing. You find a wide range of styles from counters to bar carts in Australia. Also, apart from designing the bar and loading your favorite liquor brands, you must consider several other aspects to make your experience more elegant, aesthetic, and enjoyable.

Here is a guide to help you pick all the necessary and the right things to build your home bar.

• Bar styles to choose from

Bar styles can vary widely from dedicated decorated counters and luxurious built-in wet bars to small console tables and liquor carts. One of the most crucial parameters in deciding on the bar style is the availability of space.

While you can experiment with bar design the way you want when a large space is available, tighter spaces can also be stylish and fun with little innovation. Pick a bar trolley with various compartments and jazzy hangers or slots for holding glasses and other tools.

• Essential bar tools to buy

You can find an overwhelming variety of bar tools in the market or online. At one sight all of them would look quite enticing. However, a good idea is, to begin with, a basic set and elaborate the collection later by adding according to the need and suitability.

Start with a shaker to mix the drinks, jigger to mix other ingredients, strainer, muddler to mash spices, herbs, and fruits, bar spoon, squeezer for pressing citruses, bottle opener, corkscrew, and a knife to slice and dice garnishes.

• Picking the adequate glassware

Glasses elevate the aesthetics of your bar and also proliferate your entire drinking experience. However, these are also some of the most space-consuming items on your bar. Different types of glasses are available and picking the right one enhances your cocktails. For example, Murano glassware is a popular choice for its exquisite designs and vibrant colors. These handcrafted glasses add a touch of elegance to your bar and impress your guests. For instance, rock glasses for neat spirits, highball glasses for long drinks, and coupes for stirred drinks. If you have a compact bar, keep the glass-stack short with those you are most likely to use.

• Getting the bar fizz with the spirits

No matter how decorative your bar is, its ultimate quality verdict is always based on the quality of liquor it stocks. A good idea is to stock on staple spirits that are only not good solo drinks but also make great cocktails with ease. 

Get a rich collection of quality vodka, gin, whisky, rum, tequila, and bourbon. As you are the one drinking the most from the bar, make sure to have a rich collection of your favorite spirits.

• Essential bitters, syrups, and mixers

Making a cocktail is an art and experimentation with syrups and mixers is the biggest tool for artists. Have a flavorful and colorful assortment of fruit juices, tonic water, cola, soda water, sweeteners, and ginger ale. You can also add a self-made simple syrup or its sugar-free alternatives to add the romance of mixing.
