If you only buy two things: get a jigger and a shaker. Everything else is quality-of-life.
Jigger (Measuring)
Consistency is everything. Measuring makes your drinks taste “bar-level.”
Must-have
Bar Spoon
For stirring spirit-forward cocktails smoothly (Old Fashioned, Martini, etc.).
Nice-to-have
Strainer
Keeps ice and solids out. Hawthorne strainers are the all-purpose pick.
