During the lockdown, most of us missed the occasional post-work drink to unwind after a long day at work. Forced to languish within the walls of our home, we envisioned our perfect home bar setup, a place of sanctitude to sit and enjoy a hearty drink with friends. Well, if you’re thinking of making that dream a reality, here are 5 pointers, from beer growlers to drinking games, that will transform your in-house drinking experience.
-
Invest in a barware kit: A simple step to really step up your home bar game is to have a basic set of bar equipment such as a muddler, jigger, cocktail shaker, strainer, ice cube trays etc.
-
Ditch the pitcher- Beer is something that does not really need any theatrics. But, instead of a regular beer pitcher, buy a beer growler as it will definitely come in handy during house parties. A beer growler is a glass or ceramic bottle used to transport draft beer. If you like your beer from a particular microbrewery, just use the beer growler to fetch and serve up your favourite beer. The narrow neck of the beer growler helps in keeping beer fresh and cold and is much better than a pitcher.
-
Keep non-alcoholics handy- We all have that one teetotaller friend aka the designated driver who never drinks anything remotely alcoholic. For this specific brand of people, keep a few non-alcoholic drinks and recipes ready. We know this goes against the whole point of a home bar but inclusion is necessary, right?
-
Stock up on the essentials- That means whiskey, for Manhattans, Old Fashioned-s, whiskey sours etc; white rum, for your daiquiris and mojitos; gin, for the martinis and gin and tonics and tequila, for your margaritas and Palomas.
Keep these pointers in mind and throw the perfect house parties! Get all your home bar essentials and more at shop.bira91.com/ and make your lockdown dream come true.
