these mats provide drainage for any
spilled drinks and are easy to pick up and
empty into the sink.

place drinks that are ready to be delivered to
customers by servers. The mats provide stability
so there’s less spillage, helping to reduce the cost
of waste.

Bar spoons-bar spoons are essential, with their

long-twisted handles that make it easy to stir in a smooth
circular motion.  Bar spoons gently stir the ingredients to

one way to mix a cocktail, such as a gin or whiskey
cocktail, gently mixing the distilled spirit to maintain a
balance of flavour.
