re: Essential items for a home bar

I think bar sets can be bought to satisfy the utensils needed to make a good drink.

A blender and juicer added would be good.

A draft setup would be pimp but could be a little much.

For a regular house setup, I think quality booze and some basic equipment goes a long way. Not much beyond that is needed. I think those two things and it being situated looking nice is more than enough.
