When you have your liquor bottles and garnishes made you then will need glasses and straws or stirrers. Drink straws can be bought at any supermarket. For glasses you need to use your own discretion. Familiarize yourself with the different types of glasses and the appropriate ones for each drink. Once you have your straws, glasses, liquor bottles and garnishes you will need a small package of cocktail napkins and a few more bottles to be used as juices and mixers. After you have all these things you are ready to start practicing. Setting your bar up in a way that is both convenient and professional is an important role in your normal everyday process. Set up your bar as the diagram illustrates, keep each bottle in its own place. Same with garnishes and glasses. Keep everything as neat as possible. Have a bucket of ice ready and we can start pouring. Practicing should be done on a surface that is easy to clean and in hands reach of the things you need.
