Japanese Style Jigger

A “free pour” refers to the style of pouring spirits or ingredients directly into a glass (mixing or otherwise). When free pouring it is difficult to achieve consistency for three reasons: 

• Various liquid drink ingredients have different levels of viscosity that impact the rate at which these travel through a pour spout and into the drink. 
• The person making the drinks is not typically making the same cocktails over and over again with the same ingredients allowing for the practice necessary to achieve the same results. 
• Cocktails typically have smaller amounts of multiple ingredients making free pouring accurately more difficult. 

To help ensure drinks are made consistently tasty these need to be measured by volume. Measuring also allows you to more efficiently create new recipes or improve on existing ones. 

The tool used often in cooking to properly measure ingredients would be measuring spoons or cups, and the cocktail equivalent tool is a measured jigger. A measured jigger is a mission critical tool for a cocktail starter set. 

We selected the Barfly M37005 as our jigger of choice to help make the best bartender kit because of these benefits: 

• It has interior markings to accurately measure incremental amounts of  1⁄4, 1⁄2, 3⁄4, 1 1⁄2 oz. 
• It is made of stainless steel for extreme durability and easy cleaning. 
• It has an elongated design to support more accurate measurements and smooth pouring. 
• Its satin finish to maintain a great appearance with long term daily use.

Mixing Glass For The Best Bartender Kit

For stirred drinks the vessel which it is created in has a large impact on the finished cocktail. 

We selected a Japanese-style mixing glass as a preferred choice to help make the best cocktail set because of these benefits:

• It has a spout which makes pouring drinks easy.
• Weight of the glass facilitates stability while stirring. 
• It has a stunning cut glass design with exceptional clarity to showcase the drink being crafted. 
• Easy cleaning and dishwasher safe. 
• Once chilled glass retains its temperature well. 

Glass is a great insulator allowing it to retain its cold temperature well, however because of this attribute it takes a long time to get cold. For this reason you must always pre-chill your mixing glasses in the freezer or with ice and water before use.

Bar Spoon For Bar Mixology Set

A great bar spoon allows you to stir quickly and smoothly without adding air bubbles to the drink to ensure a silky smooth mouthfeel.

Our long-handled Japanese-style barspoon was selected as the preferred choice to help make the best bar tools set because of these benefits:

• Its extra long length facilitates smoother stirring than conventional shorter bar spoons.
• The tightly spiraled handle allows the spoon to be kept in a consistent place in the hand while stirring and is comfortable.
• It has a standard 5 ml (1 teaspoon) bowl size. 
• The teardrop-shaped weight on the end offers a great counterbalance for smooth and fast stirring. 
• Made of a single piece of stainless steel for superior durability and sanitation.

Hawthorne Strainer For Bartender Tool Kit

The Hawthorne strainer goes back to the year 1892, when a patent was issued to its inventor, William Wright, and Dennis P. Sullivan, who owned Boston’s Hawthorne Café.

Our hawthorne strainer features bilateral slots that can direct the flow of liquid into two streams allowing you to make two drinks at once. It also features a vertical tab that allows you to adjust the flow of the liquid as you pour.

This tool is a necessity for a home bartender kit. 

Hawthorne Strainer Specs

The amount of ice that melts in a length of time is proportional to how much heat is transferred into the ice. The heat transferred into the ice is directly proportional to the surface area exposed to the environment. A larger ice cube has less surface area proportionally to its volume than a smaller cube, so therefore it melts much more slowly. 

Due to the aforementioned we offer a large cocktail cube ice tray for our set to help make good quality ice for a home cocktail bar cart. 

A silicone large cube tray was selected as the preferred choice for our set for these benefits:

• Made of durable silicone.
• Option to add to a drinks aesthetic or taste by freezing ingredients inside of the cubes such as juices, herbs, and flowers. 

Cold water has more trapped gasses than hot water, so to help improve the clarity of and density of your ice we recommend using hot water to fill the tray. Ice with lots of air bubbles will break down more rapidly while making or enjoying a drink which may lead to over dilution of the drink flavours. 

We also recommend avoiding stacking ice cube trays on top of each other while in the freezer. The trays in the middle produce cloudy ice because they freeze almost equally from all sides trapping the most impurities and air bubbles from gases.
