We know why you’re here. You and your friend got drunk last night at the bar and came up with yet another brilliant idea, “Let’s open up a bar!” Why didn’t you think about it before? It’s genius. You continued to mock the bartender all night, saying, “I can do that.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You woke up this morning, hungover in the bathtub, with an email saying your bartending kit is on its way. You’re still feeling pretty confident until the package arrives and you open it up to find a long spoon, a cup, some sort of double-sided metallic thingy (you know the one), and a tiny net to catch butterflies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don’t know what you’re doing, do you? You’re an embarrassment. Stop crying. In this post, we will cover the top ten essential bartending tools for beginners and what each item is used for. We will also offer some suggestions so you can get to mixing as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A measured shot container, usually double-sided, perfectly measured to specific proportions to be filled up with your desired spirit and then used to dump that spirit completely into your shaker. Most often, you see a Jigger with one side measuring up to 2.5 oz and the other side measuring up to 1oz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
