The story of you
Mix in personal items that
represent your personal
style. Monogrammed mint
julep cups that hold straws,
vintage swizzle sticks, wine
corks from your fa-
vorite bottles of wine
and vintage bartend-
ing books. Add art-
fully styled scenes of
found objects or vin-
tage treasures can add
interest and quirk to a
bar cart. Keep in mind
- don't overdo it.
Mix it up
By mixing colors, textures,
metals, vintage and modern
items your cart will be full
of personality (and won't
look like you ran out and
bought everything for it in
one fell swoop).
Get the right
tools
Every bar cart should
have all the tools
necessary to make the
perfect drink. Start with a
shaker, muddler, opener,
stirrer, strainer, ice
bucket and tongs (or take
the guesswork out by
buying a complete set).
Choose bottles
that will look
gorgeous when
displayed
Even if you're not a fan of
the liquor itself, you can
always refill the display-
worthy bottles with your
preferred scotch, whisky,
vodka, gin, brandy, tequila,
or rum.
