Required Bar Tools

Just like baking needs the right tools, cocktail crafting shines when you’re well-prepared. Here’s what I use for the Memento Mori drink:
  • Mixing Glass – Ideal for stirring spirits-based cocktails.
  • Bar Spoon – Long-handled, perfect for gentle stirring without diluting too quickly.
  • Jigger – For accurate measurement of each spirit.
  • Strainer – To cleanly pour into your chilled glass without ice shards.
  • Chilled Coupe or Martini Glass – Enhances the presentation and keeps the drink crisp.
Having these essentials ready will ensure your cocktail-making process feels smooth and professional.
