The foundations of a successful bar

A well-equipped bar is essential to providing quality service and guaranteeing an exceptional customer experience. At Doyon Després, we understand the importance of having high-performance bar equipment adapted to your needs. Doyon Després offers the perfect equipment for mixing, pouring, blending and serving. Here's our complete guide to equipping your bar with the essentials.

The essentials for a bartender, even at home

Mixing glass

The mixing glass is an essential for any home bar. It's perfect for preparing your favorite cocktails with precision, such as a Negroni or a Manhattan. Its sturdy, practical design allows you to mix ingredients with care, while its wide opening makes it easy to add ice cubes. 

Cocktail shaker

Mix your cocktails and drinks efficiently by adding a cocktail shaker to your collection. This essential device consists of two parts and offers various options for use. Simply fill one of the parts, assemble securely and shake. The shaker is also perfect for chilling drinks quickly by lining it with ice. It helps the bartender maintain agility, especially during periods of intense service.

Cocktail strainer

To guarantee impeccable, mess-free service, the cocktail strainer is designed to separate liquids from solids when pouring your cocktails. It ensures that your drinks are served clear and neat, without unwanted bits such as ice cubes, fruit or spices. This accessory is crucial for maintaining the quality and presentation of cocktails.

Drink measure (jigger)

Drink measures are essential for pouring precise quantities of alcohol into your cocktails. These tools, usually designed in the shape of an hourglass with two separate measures on each side, are crucial for ensuring the consistency of each drink served. To choose the size of your jigger, start by determining the quantities of spirits you use in your recipes. We offer jiggers up to 2 oz. Made of stainless steel, they are both durable and easy to clean, while resisting damage.

Zesters, pestles and peelers 

Zesters, pestles and peelers are versatile tools that enrich the kitchen and bar by adding citrus and other aromatic accents to food and drink. Used primarily with oranges, lemons and limes, these utensils allow you to remove the zest from fruit to infuse your cocktails and drinks with unique flavors. For presentations requiring a decorative touch, peelers can be used to delicately cut zest, thanks to their slotted metal blade.

Bar spoon

The bar spoon is a long, slender spoon, often made of stainless steel, specially designed for mixing cocktail ingredients. It features a long stem for stirring drinks directly into glasses or shakers, and a small spoon at the end for measuring and mixing.

Many bar spoons have a twisted stem, a feature that improves mixing efficiency. This twist creates a vortex in the liquid, ensuring perfect homogeneity of ingredients. This design not only ensures a uniform combination of flavors, but also contributes to the elegant, professional presentation of cocktails.
