Perfect Pairings: 7 Bar Carts to Complement Your Favorite Cocktail

Your drink of choice says a lot about you, so when it comes to outfitting your home bar, choose a bar cart that suits your taste—and your sense of style. We’ve matched seven popular drinks with top-shelf bar carts that will elegantly display them. After all, they’re the real highlight of your house parties.

Old Fashioned

You’re a no-frills kind of person. And as such, you want a bar cart that is sturdy, made of high-quality materials, and that makes your prized bourbon the star of the show.

Gin and Tonic

Like your favorite drink, your aesthetic is fresh, bright, and refreshing. A minimalist bar car with metallic finishes will give you the bold accent you’re looking for, while still being timeless.

Martini

You’re a true believer in craftsmanship. Your martini has to have the perfectly calculated amount of vermouth, and your bar cart has to be expertly made and thoroughly classic. But most of all, it has to be a functional workspace where you can craft your martinis shaken, not stirred.

Moscow Mule

A Moscow mule isn’t really a Moscow mule if it isn't served in a shining copper cup. And since you’ll have quite a few of these glasses on hand for your drink of choice, you’ll want a bar cart that can display them proudly, without drawing too much attention to itself.

Bloody Mary

A Bloody Mary is all about the accoutrements. That means when you host your weekend brunches, you’ll want a bar car with ample space so that your guests can pick and choose their favorite garnishes.

Negroni

Even though a Negroni is a fairy simple drink ingredient-wise, it packs a serious punch of flavor. A midcentury bar cart with tons of depth is this drink’s perfect counterpart.

Margarita

Your favorite libation brings together loved ones and really gets the party going. Match it with fun and inviting bar cart, and let the good times roll.
