Can you recommend a cocktail shaker set and bar accessories to start my own at home bar?
Best cocktail shaker set that I use and love is the mixology bartender kit. It is affordable, comes with a stand for the bar tools and has most of the basics you will need, such as:
- Martini Shaker (cocktail shaker)
- Jigger
- Strainer
- Bar Mixer Spoon
- Tongs, Bottle Opener
If you are into making craft cocktails such as a Manhattan cocktail or Old Fashioned cocktail, this bitters set is awesome and has five different flavors (Citrus, Smoked Chili, Aromatic, Orange and Ginger).
Other good bar accessories you might consider include:
- Mixing Glasses
- Bottle Opener
- Wine Opener
- Garnishing Tooks
- Muddler
- Citrus Juicer
- Cocktail straws, stirs and picks
- Ice Cube Trays & Ice Molds – these round and square silicon ice cube molds are super fun!
- Ice Tools, Buckets or Beverage Tubs
- Cutting Board
What are the best Baileys Irish cream drink recipes?
I must admit, it is hard to choose the best Baileys recipes because there are truly so many amazing ones! However, some of my favorites include a Baileys Mudslide, Bailey’s White Russian Recipe, Baileys Chocolate Martini, Bailey’s Martini (Baileys and Vodka), Baileys Chocolate Cherry and Baileys and Coke.

Instructions
- Shake well with lots of ice and pour into martini glass – because that’s just sexy!
