Set Your Cocktail Bar (& Entertain With Ease)

Here are a few of our favorite ways to make it your own and entertain with ease.

If you don’t already have a built-in, you can easily make an at-home bar by choosing a stylish cart. Luckily, there are a lot of options to choose from. Like a lot, a lot. So, you have ample opportunity to pick a piece that suits your interiors. You can add a pop of color or keep it interesting with a vintage piece. Or, you can even repurpose an old or unused piece of furniture. See some of our favorites below.

Keep multiple liquors on-hand for quick-and-easy, crowd-pleasing cocktails. Since these boozy bottles will be on display, we love to opt for brands that put a little extra effort into their packaging. When it comes time to entertain, we love to be prepared with a pitcher of something special, like this Peach Sangria.

When it comes to your bar cart, the details make all the difference. It’s what sets apart the college dorms from the elevated decor. We love investing in beautiful glassware and adding unexpected accents. Try finding cocktail recipe books to add color and interest, and stack them to elevate the base of your bottles.

Fresh flowers are always a good idea. It’s an instant way to add color and life to your new cart. You can even consider growing an herb, such as rosemary, mint, or basil, so you always have fresh ingredients for cocktails on hand.
