    I’m going to be real with you I’ve been using 2 different sized solo cups as shakers for a while and it’s worked just fine so far. The jigger has been nice to have and the strainers are a must. As for the ice I prefer ice balls in all my cocktails….. I have molds. And my selection of drinks is probably severely excessive by most standard. And everything else mentioned I keep on hand. Also a good torch and cocktail chimney smoker are incredible for mixing up what you can do! Oh and if you lift and have enough grip strength and wash your hands frequently you don’t need a juicer either but I keep one since some people aren’t comfortable with that lol

    You don’t need 10 bottles at the beginning. Your are not opening a bar. Just buy the bottles for the cocktail that you like. Then buy more for another cocktail. Your friend will drink the cocktails that You choose to do. I now have around 40 spirits and liquor bottles but don’t have Tequila or Campari bottles because I don’t like them. Your are not a bar. Do what you want.

      How many times have you been asked “hey do you have any tequila?” Or “hey do you have Campari?”. What’s your drink of choice? Say it’s Bacardi rum. You’re my buddy, I invite you over to drink all the time at my bar, in which I boast about having 40 bottles. I know you like Bacardi, prefer it even, because I asked, because we’re friends, but I don’t like it and I don’t like rum. How good a friend am I? To knowingly avoid buying a bottle of cheap rum, any rum, maybe even their preferred brand…for a friend, that I like to drink with, at my bar, in which I boast about having 40 bottles, time after time. Watch their eyes light up when he sees some Bacardi or any rum on your shelf. You may not be your bar Paul but your bar and your comment say a lot about you. Me me me…😢

      The fight between Pepsi and cola, when they are owned by the same company: Pepsi-Cola. Pepsi has 2 more grams of sugar than Coke. Coke has more spice, so is a bit more herbaceous. No matter which you buy, you are feeding the same machine. The tribalism between the 2 being generated for the sole purpose of increased sales. You are caught in that mosh.

    All I got to say is if you're going to go through all this trouble to make clear perfect ice cubes for a f****** home bar you've got bigger issues than just having clear ice!

      Possibly a bit of a perfectionist. Thanks for watching.

      God forbid you go through some effort to have a bit of fun and entertain yourself and your guests. You don't seem like the kind of person who has to worry about guests, though. 🤣
