Set Up the Bar

Maybe your friends have just moved into their first home and they now actually have room for a wet bar. Perhaps they are even building one in their basement for the enjoyment of friends and visitors! If so, they are now going to need proper bar accessories. Here is a list of what they must have, any of which would make a great housewarming gift:

• Shakers (of varying sizes – and you always need more than one at a party or you are always cleaning it out)
• Blender (enable your friends to make good frozen drinks – you know you won't be sorry!)
• Classy Shot Glasses (yes, the ones from your college days are nostalgic, but now you need to have a grown up set up – maybe even one with measurements!)
• Ice Bucket (this one is obvious)
• Glassware (Tumblers, Margarita Glasses, Martini Glasses, Wine Glasses – for red and white and champagne flutes for a start!)
• Bar Guide (this can be a book or an electronic virtual bartender – it doesn't matter as long as it has the right recipes!)
