The top 10 bar tools of 2019

To perfect a chosen craft, you have to have the best tools. And that’s especially true with making drinks. Small additions to your home bar can make a huge difference in your cocktail game. If you’re trying to make a cocktail from your favorite bar at home, these tools are a must. Here are the top 10 bar tools of 2019 as suggested by some of the most well-known mixologists and bartenders.


Boston Shaker, $15

Professional bartenders love that the Boston Shaker comes with two separate top and bottom pieces rather than the all-in-one options. With this shaker, you’ll circulate more air around for a more properly diluted drink.

Bar Spoon, $8

A bar spoon is a go-to gadget for drinks that are primarily made with booze and little else. Classic Manhattans and other cocktails that are better stirred benefit from this type of bar tool.

Zester/Grater, $10

Any drinks that call for an optional citrus garnish need a zester or grater to maximize the flavor. As an added bonus, this bar tool can be used in the kitchen too.

Muddler, $5.39

Is an Old Fashioned your drink of choice? Having a muddler in your bar is a must because the pestle mashes the fruit or herbs that your recipe calls for. Pro tip: a stainless steel version leaves less residue.

Lemon Lime Juicer, $13

Need an instant zest for any cocktail recipe? Look no further than lemon or lime. It’s easy to manually add juice but a juicer helps you get every last drop minus any pesky seeds.

Mesh Cocktail Strainer, $9.99

An infusion is an easy (and low cost) way of sprucing up your favorite whiskey. A mesh cocktail strainer is the best way to catch any loose herbs or fruit pieces.

Angled Measuring Cup, $7

Most bartenders use a metal jigger for measuring, but if you aren’t yet good at eyeballing the right amounts, a measuring cup can help. This stainless steel angled cup measures from 2 ounces down to .25, so you can get the proper pour.
