Bar Up accessories for professional bars

Carefully selected tools help ensure consistency in recipes, speed up service and minimise unnecessary movements during drink preparation. Individual items can be selected to match the cocktail menu and the layout of the bar station.

The brand’s range includes, amongst other things:

• bartending shakers,
• measuring cups and jiggers,
• bartending spoons,
• cocktail strainers,
• muddlers and pestles,
• bottle pourers,
• ice tongs, scoops and accessories,
• openers and corkscrews,
• buckets and bottle coolers,
• organisers and other bar equipment.

Bar Up cocktail shakers

A shaker allows you to quickly mix ingredients, chill the drink and achieve the correct dilution. Depending on your working method, you can choose a three-piece shaker or a Boston-style set, consisting of two matching parts.

When choosing a shaker, it is worth paying attention to:

• capacity,
• type of construction,
• how tightly the parts seal when joined,
• ease of opening after shaking,
• material and wall thickness,
• type of surface finish.

Jiggers and alcohol measuring cups

A bar measuring cup helps to measure spirits, syrups, juices and other recipe ingredients precisely. It is one of the essential tools for controlling the cost per serving and ensuring a consistent cocktail flavour.

Jiggers may vary in terms of:

• the capacity of both parts,
• shape and height,
• the presence of internal graduations,
• type of finish,
• the way they are held whilst pouring.

The capacity of the jigger should be matched to the units most commonly used in the venue’s recipes.

Bartending spoons

The long bartending spoon is designed for stirring cocktails in a mixing glass, a tall glass or a serving vessel. The twisted handle facilitates smooth movement of the spoon around ice cubes.

The spoon can be used for:

• stirring cocktails,
• combining ingredients without excessive aeration,
• creating layers in a drink,
• measuring out small quantities of ingredients,
• removing garnishes from tall containers.

Cocktail strainers

A strainer separates the finished drink from ice cubes, pieces of fruit, herbs and other ingredients found in a shaker or glass. The type of strainer should be chosen to suit the vessel being used and the desired level of filtration.

Bar equipment may include:

• Hawthorne strainers,
• Julep strainers,
• fine strainers for double filtration,
• models with varying diameters and mesh sizes.

Muddlers and fruit tools

A muddler is used to crush fruit, herbs, sugar and spices directly in a glass or shaker. It releases the juice and aromas needed for cocktails such as mojitos, caipirinhas and signature fruit drinks.

The tip should be chosen to suit the ingredient. Delicate herbs require gentler pressure than citrus fruits or harder fruits, as excessive crushing can introduce an undesirable, bitter taste.

Bottle pourers

A pourer facilitates the controlled and smooth dispensing of alcohol, syrup or juice from a bottle. It can minimise spillage and speed up service when handling a large number of orders.

When choosing one, it is worth checking:

• the diameter of the stopper or seal,
• compatibility with the bottles used,
• flow rate,
• the material of the parts that come into contact with the drink,
• the ability to dismantle and clean thoroughly.

Bar Up ice accessories

Ice should be scooped using tools designed for this purpose, without direct contact with the hand or glassware. This helps to maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of damaging the glassware.

Tools for handling ice include, amongst others:

• bar scoops,
• ice tongs,
• buckets with lids,
• hand-held ice crushers,
• ice moulds and containers.

It is worth choosing the size of the scoop and tongs to suit the type of ice and the width of the container on the bar counter.

Wine openers and accessories

The Bar Up brand also offers accessories to facilitate opening, chilling and securing bottles. These are essential in both cocktail bars and restaurants selling wine, beer and bottled drinks.

This category may include:

• cap openers,
• waiter’s corkscrews,
• foil cutters,
• bottle stoppers and corks,
• vacuum pumps,
• wine and champagne buckets.

Coloured and decorative finishes

Bar accessories may be available in classic stainless steel as well as in black, copper or gold finishes. A decorative finish allows the tools to be matched to the character of the venue and used as a prominent feature of the bar area.

For coated products, please follow the cleaning instructions. Harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners and incorrect loading in the dishwasher may accelerate surface wear.

Bar Up for cocktail bars and restaurants

The brand’s products can be used to equip a permanent bar or to complement existing equipment. They are ideal for venues serving both classic cocktails and original recipes.

Bar Up accessories can be used in:

• cocktail bars,
• restaurants with a drinks menu,
• hotel bars,
• clubs and nightspots,
• cafés serving mocktails,
• catering companies,
• mobile event stations.

How do you put together a basic Bar Up set?

A basic station can be equipped with a shaker, a measuring cup, a bar spoon, a strainer, a muddler, a bottle opener and pourers. The range should be expanded in line with the drinks menu and the preparation methods used at the venue.

When planning the equipment, it is worth taking into account:

• the number of bartenders working simultaneously,
• the number of stations,
• the most commonly used bartending techniques,
• the types of glassware used,
• the need for spare shakers and measuring cups,
• the time required to wash the equipment,
• the storage space available.

Cleaning bar accessories

Utensils that come into contact with juices, fruit, syrups and alcohol should be washed after use. Particular attention should be paid to pourers, strainers, threads, seals and areas where residues of ingredients may remain.

Check the manufacturer’s instructions before placing the product in the dishwasher. Accessories with decorative coatings, wooden parts or delicate finishes may need to be washed by hand.
