Gorgeous gear is the latest trend for the home bar. We swear by our two-inch ice spheres (for slower whiskey dilution), Lewis bag (for hammering out perfect crushed ice), and Champagne coupes (they can do double duty as cocktail glasses). Mix in your favorite spirits--or stock up on the best of the basics--and voila, the party begins.
