"There was a point in my early twenties where it felt very important that I have a signature drinksomething sexy with dark liquor and an ABV I could handle. Something uncomplicated and ideally less than $15. It never coalesced. What revealed itself to be more interesting was rarely having the same drink. Instead, I tried a lot of different things: ones with yuzu, miso, French sea salt, pineapple essence, flaming rosemary, even larva."
"I figured there's no better time for a bar cart refresh than before the new year. Dry January kind of person? The non-alc world is booming, and my tried-and-trues are below for when a really bad Tuesday needs something extra, just not something that's going to disrupt your REM cycle. Our bar cart essentialscocktail shakers, strainersalong with editor-vetted spirits and mocktail ingredients are just below."
"Crate & Barrel Borough Martini Glasses (Set of 4) Enter: a martini glass that won't spill. Or at least, is harder to spill. There's something less Mad Men and more modern about this shape. It's a very sophisticated way to keep gin off the couch, and a much more effective shape for clutching a lemon garnish or balancing a trio (quadruple? quintuple?) of olives."
An early twenties pursuit of a signature drink gave way to a preference for variety and experimentation with ingredients like yuzu, miso, French sea salt, pineapple essence, flaming rosemary, and even larva. High bar costs prompted a shift to home mixology, acquiring reliable tools such as a wine key, highball glasses, and champagne flutes. The home bar developed into a capable at-home hosting setup. A bar cart refresh before the new year is recommended, with attention to both alcoholic and booming non-alcoholic options for Dry January. Essential items include cocktail shakers, strainers, editor-vetted spirits, mocktail ingredients, and a mix of classic and unusual glassware.
