Strainers
Perhaps equally essential for cocktail-making is a strainer.

Strainers are a staple item in any bar. We have an amazing eight different crafted cocktail strainers for you to choose from.

Optic Measures
Optic measures are crucial for anyone who is looking to reduce waste and to save money and we have been manufacturing the market leading product for over 20 years. By measuring out the precise amount of liquor needed for a drink, the optic measure ensures that each drink is perfectly balanced—not too weak, and not too strong. Not to mention you will stop those pesky over-pourers dead in their tracks! For the world’s best spirit measures, look no further…
Speed Rails
Far from a glamorous product, one thing is for sure however, speed rails make the lives of bartenders far easier. They can quickly spot the liquor they need to make the perfect drink for your clients. Make sure to stock the speed rails with all the necessary spirits—Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Rum, Jack Daniels, and Amaretto. We have large, medium, and small speed rails for you to choose from.
Cocktail Spoons
One of the most basic, yet essential, accessories needed to make cocktails is the nifty cocktail spoon or the G&T spoon if you need something shorter. It’s an important part of every bar because it has many uses. When you’re not shaking up a cocktail for James Bond, you may just have to stir a few cocktails—this is where the cocktail spoon comes in. A specialised cocktail spoon makes the process of stirring much easier. But cocktail spoons aren’t limited to just stirring, they are also used to layer drinks, measure ingredients, and garnish drinks.
