Equipment & Accessories

Building a zero-proof home bar requires specific equipment: a Boston shaker or cobbler shaker, Hawthorne and fine strainers for dual-straining, a Japanese bar spoon for stirring, jiggers (15/30 ml and 25/50 ml pairs), a Lewis bag and mallet for crushed ice, and glassware matched to serve style (coupe for up-served mocktails, highball for long drinks, rocks glass for spirit-forward serves). Professional NA bar programmes additionally use vacuum infusion machines and centrifuges for clarification.
