There are a few tools that make being a home mixologist easier. These tools include a cocktail shaker, an enclosed tin that allows you to shake your cocktail ingredients together to ensure taste quality. A strainer is an excellent addition to your cocktail shaker as it enables you to shake cocktails over ice and then serve them neat (without ice). It also helps keep any pieces of fresh fruit or other ingredients from invading your cocktail.

A jigger is more than just a shot glass; it allows you to measure from both sides, offering a one-stop cocktail measurer. The best size to get is a 25 mL and 50 mL option. Pourers are another tool that home bar owners enjoy adding to their bottles. These allow you to pre-measure a shot and pour quickly and neatly.

While everyone's tastes are different, there are several cocktail recipes that seem to come up most often at your local tavern and for home bars. These include a Mojito, a mint cocktail made with white rum, lime, soda water, sugar, and mint. Piña Coladas combine pineapple, coconut, and white rum for a tangy taste. Strawberries, ice, lime juice, and rum are blended to form a Strawberry Daiquiri.  For the perfect balance of sweet and sour, try a Cosmopolitan made with lemon vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec, and lime juice.

Margaritas are always a favorite with tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and sour. You can add fresh fruit puree such as strawberry or mango as well. Margaritas can be served on the rocks or blended, making them the perfect summer refresher.
