Instead of opting for disposable bar accessories, save up and buy quality products even if that means your bar project takes a bit longer to finish. At the end, you will be left with an exquisite collection of customised barware and accessories that are not only chic and sophisticated but also eco-friendly and sustainable.
Here are some accessories which you can gather as you work towards an elegant home bar full of collectibles and carefully sourced items:
Recycled Decanters
Decanters made from recyclable glass and other reusable materials are a must buy while crafting your home bar. Serving a premium whiskey like a Godawan Artisanal Single Malt in decanters is luxury supreme so make sure you look for sustainable glassware options. It is always possible to customise these decanters by engraving your family name on the glass.
Reusable Glassware
Invest in premium glass or crystal ware to adorn your bar with the best collection of wine glasses, whisky and scotch snifters. You can also add a set of beer glasses to this mix but make sure that the glass is of topnotch quality. This is so that the glasses will stay intact for decades and can be used at all your gatherings instead of disposable cups.
Bamboo Strainers And Shakers
Strainers and shakers are items that are frequently used to make the most delicious cocktails. If you are using a Tanqueray No. Ten Gin or a premium Smirnoff Triple Distilled Vodka to make martinis and mojitos, be sure to shake them in biodegradable bamboo shakers. You can also opt for steel shakers that retain the flavour of the cocktail you mix — so each time you make a drink, it becomes tastier.
Reusable Corks
Corks can be reused too, to seal a bottle of wine or to simply serve as decorative pieces in your bar. In fact, customised corks are a great personalised accent item, so you can have them engraved with significant dates or meaningful quotes to jazz up your liquor cabinet.
Glass Or Steel Straws And Stirrers
For a home bar, glass or steel straws are absolute essentials especially if you use them often to sip on inventive cocktail concoctions. Start collecting steel straws and stirrers so that over time you have a sizeable number which can be brought out at any dinner party. Just like silverware or other kitchen cutlery, steel or glass straws are sustainable and reusable essentials for a home bar.
Reusable Drink Dispensers
If you are fond of making cocktails en masse, make sure you invest in reusable drink dispensers. These are also useful for the entertainer in you who likes to throw a fun, exciting and memorable party. Pouring cocktails and juices into glasses from dispensers is definitely a more sustainable alternative than opting for single-use beverage containers.
Customised Openers And Coasters
Steel openers are an absolute essential for a home bar. Pair them with customised coasters made from recycled wood for an eco-friendly option. You can also make coasters at home if you happen to find reusable wood in your backyard. Biodegradable coasters made from bamboo or other recyclable materials are just as readily available in online stores too!
Wrapping Up…
Curating your home bar is an extremely exciting prospect. With customised decanters, premium glassware and recyclable bar accessories, you can enjoy a bar made up of sustainable, upcycled, premium collectibles, where each item is sourced with greatest discernment.
