All the bar tools you need to host and make cocktails at your home bar!

- [ ] Another Tuesday Tips - cocktail syrup edition! Making your own cocktail syrups is easy, cost-effective, and the perfect way to customize your cocktails. Let’s start with the basics, simple and rich syrup, the most common syrups you’ll find in recipes.

The most common ratio for simple syrup is 1:1, which means equal parts sugar and water. However, you can also use a 2:1 ratio for a richer syrup, which is also called rich simple syrup.

It might seem like the rich syrup would be two times as sweet, but instead it is simply denser. 1.5 oz of 1:1 simple syrup translates to 1 oz of rich syrup. Because of the increase in sugar, rich simple syrup will last a bit longer in the fridge and have a thicker texture than simple syrup which is great in certain cocktails.

You can also save time by heating the water first, and then adding the sugar. You want it hot enough to melt the sugar but not boiling. I never remember to do this haha but maybe you will!

Keep an eye out for more Tuesday Tips, and don’t forget to send your questions in or suggest new Tuesday Tips topics!

Simple or Rich Cocktail Syrup
1. Weigh your ingredients. 1:1 sugar to water for simple syrup, and 2:1 sugar to water for rich syrup.
2. Heat the water in a sauce pan over medium high heat
3. Add sugar. Stir until it dissolves completely.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup cool.
5. Store the syrup in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Even Simpler

1. An even simpler method is to add your sugar to a glass bottle, heat water in a kettle, pour into your bottle, and shake. I do kind of feel like the texture isn’t quite the same, but it is not super noticeable by any means and just fine for hosting and making cocktails for yourself.

Enjoy!

Had to do a new midnight margarita this year to celebrate my little art print that I made! Practical Magic is always one of the first autumn/spooky movies I watch every year, and this year was no different. I have loved the midnight margaritas scene since I first saw Practical Magic as a teenager! If you do want to recreate the scene, I do recommend that you avoid using tequila found on your doorstep from an ex that’s haunting you though. Really harshes the vibe.

Midnight Margaritas

2 oz tequila reposado

1 oz orange liqueur

1 oz lime juice

a handful of blackerries

lime to garnish

Muddle your handful of blackberries in a shaker, then add the rest of the ingredients. Shake well with ice and double strain to get a nice smooth margarita. Serve up in a coupe glass and dance the night away!

Prime day deals are here!! I’ve pulled together all the deals that are really interesting to me. As a lover of all things vintage, thrifted, and small business, I typically try to source most things for my bar secondhand and from small businesses. However, there are some items that a place like Amazon is really useful for. Keep an eye out for these items on Amazon Prime Days, August 10 and 11. I’ve got all the links in my stories and highlights, so don’t miss them!

In particular, Amazon is great for:

- funky glassware for a specific purpose - sometimes you need something funky or specific that you just can’t find locally, amazon has most of what you are looking for!
- bar tools - there are a few great small businesses for bar tools that are on amazon that you should check out, I especially love Bar supply co, viski, and Barfly.
- bar appliances - you can often find great deals on appliances that make your home bar life easier, like my gevi ice maker or my kitchenaid espresso machine
- storage and decor - you can find most anything you need for storage and decor, like my spice jars!
- ingredients - sometimes ingredients are hard to find locally, and amazon is a great place to supplement them!

Checking in for another Tuesday Tip! Today I am talking about when and why we muddle when making cocktails.

Muddling is an essential technique in cocktail making that involves crushing ingredients, such as herbs and fruits, to release their flavors and aromas. Muddling can also be used to create unique flavor combinations and elevate simple drinks, which is perfect when you want to kick it up a notch at home without investing in too many ingredients or tools.

To muddle simply use a sturdy muddler to gently crush ingredients, releasing their flavors without turning them into a mush. You don’t want to muddle too aggressively with herbs, because you can bring out bitter flavors that way. This is another way of activating the essential oils so that they seep into the drink!

Enjoy!

Checking in for another Tuesday Tip! Today I am talking about this history and use of the Lewis bag, an amazingly simple tool used to crush ice for cocktails. It’s really my go to option for crushing ice because it’s inexpensive, doesn’t take up much space, and is super simple to use!

The Lewis Bag is named after its inventor, William H. Lewis, who patented the design in 1918. The bag is made of sturdy canvas and has a drawstring closure. It was originally used by bartenders and ice delivery men in the early 20th century, as well as in homes before those amazing 1950’s electric ice crushers. Today, the Lewis bag is still used by professional bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts to make crushed ice for drinks, especially in classic cocktails like the Mint Julep and the Daiquiri.

To use the Lewis Bag you will want to simply
1. fill the bag with ice cubes
2. close the drawstring
3. place the bag on a sturdy surface

4. pound with a mallet or rolling pin until the ice is crushed to the desired consistency.

1. Enjoy!

One of my favorite custom cocktails I have ever made was for my close friends wedding. She loves gin and all things sparkly, so I decided to make a riff on the French 75. She also loves all things pink and lives with her husband in LA!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used @bloomginus rose and jasmine infused gin to bring in that color as well as scents and flavors from their home together! I absolutely loved creating this for their special day.

I also love these gorgeous coupe glasses, golden art deco cocktail shaker, and ice bucket combo!
