KEEP IT SIMPLE

A few things make a better home bar.

You do not need every bottle or tool. Choose a recipe, check what you already have, and shop for the ingredients you need.

Measure your ingredients

A jigger or measuring cup keeps the balance consistent. The ingredient lists here are for one drink; the cocktail guide scales them for your group.

Prep before you pour

Set out your glassware, ice and garnishes. Fresh citrus and a chilled glass make a useful starting point for many recipes.

Make the shopping trip easier

Use the guide to save an ingredient list. Contact your store for bottle sizes, current prices and local availability.
