The Home Bar
    Equipment
    A cocktail shaker and a jigger are essential pieces of equipment for the mixologist.  Everyday kitchen equipment will probably suffice for the rest, but you could buy the 'proper' items depending on how serious you are about cocktails.

    List of Essential Items

    1  Cocktail Shaker
    2  Measuring device - a jigger
    3  Stirrers
    4  Juicer/Lemon squeezer (I also find muslin quite useful)
    5  Knives and chopping board.
    6  Ice making items - ice bags or ice cube trays.  (I sometimes use a clean hammer to crack ice while still in the bags).
    7  A blender or hand blender is always useful.
