COCKTAIL ZERO% BAR MANUAL ALEMBIC COCKTAIL TOOLS TOOLS OF THE TRADE POUR SPOUT Pour spouts are used for pouring drinks with speed and accuracy, helping you avoid over-pouring, spillage, and wasted time. If you’ve ever tried to pour without one, you’ve likely seriously botched a cocktail and wasted product. Depending on your bar, they might all be shiny metal and rubber, a medley of plastic multi-colored spouts, or a combination of the two. JUICER If you’re making fresh craft cocktails, you’ll likely want to include some freshly squeezed juice in your recipes. As a bartender, a juicer, also known as a lemon squeezer, citrus squeezer, or Mexican juicer, uses a levered design with a hinged bowl and handles to effortlessly extract fruit juice. It’s also fairly easy to store and clean. ABSINTHE SPOON This slotted decorative spoon was made to dissolve sugar into a glass of absinthe. In the ritual involving classic French absinthe, the absinthe spoon is rested on the rim of a glass filled with a “dose” of absinthe. Then, ice water is carefully dripped onto the sugar cube so it will gradually dissolve. SPICE GRATER Whether you’re looking to grate chocolate, cinnamon, or orange skins, a spice grater is a great addition to your behind-the-bar arsenal. This tool allows you to quickly and efficiently extract flavour for craft cocktails. COCKTAIL PICK Although they may be tiny, toothpicks are still essential tools for bartenders. They’re a crucial component for certain cocktail garnishes such as the olives in a classic martini. Toothpicks come in a ton of different varieties such as classic wood, bamboo knot, and plastic sword.
