Spoilt for Choice and... for the Home Bar

Ah, just the sound of these names is enough to make you dream. The trend for colourful drinks has been going strong for a while now and is successfully competing with simpler concoctions like vodka with apple juice or rum with cola. At FormAdore, we believe that every activity can be turned into an unforgettable ritual, provided we are accompanied by stylish products. That's why we've made sure we have everything you need to create a sophisticated cocktail or a sweet drink. But be warned, we're not responsible for the headache the next day!

So let's take a look at all the products that might come in handy for creating a magical elixir that will delight your household and guests.

Hmm... we won't get far without glassware. It's the foundation and a crucial element of serving a drink, determining whether it looks good or not. There's no point in tempting fate, let's choose only the most beautiful glassware. In these sections, you'll find everything you need!

Cocktail glasses

Whisky glasses

Beer glasses

Wine glasses

Vodka glasses

Champagne glasses

Liqueur glasses

Cognac and brandy glasses

It's hard to imagine a proper drink without ice, isn't it? Unless we're talking about winter mulled drinks, then we can somehow explain it away. But generally, drinks should be cold! There can be several ways to cool them – we love them all, because ultimately, it's the end result that counts.

That's James Bond's favourite drink. And if he likes it, it must be good, and certainly stylish. That's why we also have plenty of beautiful shakers – after all, we must be prepared for a visit from Agent 007, as well as our discerning customers :)

If you think a career as a bartender is open to you (we believe in you!), then try out real bar accessories that are used for professional drink preparation. And even if it turns out you'd rather stick to your current profession, just think of the impression you'll make on your friends when you display such a bar set in the kitchen and casually drop in with "so, darlings, martinis for everyone?"

Exactly, since we've gathered all the necessary accessories for making drinks, perhaps it's time to finally prepare those drinks? Of course, each of us has a favourite flavour, and there are countless recipes, but we've chosen the biggest classics for you, which are loved by everyone for good reason!

Mojito

• half a lime
• 2 teaspoons of sugar
• mint
• 50 ml white rum
• crushed ice
• soda water

Cut the limes into tiny quarters, put them in a glass, sprinkle with brown sugar, and muddle them to release the juice. Add lightly crushed mint, fill with crushed ice, and pour in the rum. Finally, top up the glass with soda water and it's ready.

Sex on the Beach

• a few ice cubes
• 20 ml vodka
• 20 ml peach liqueur
• 100 ml cranberry juice
• 100 ml orange juice

Put ice cubes into a tall glass, then pour in the spirits one by one, and finally fill the glass with the juices. Serve with a straw.

Martini (yes, that's James Bond's)

• 50 ml gin
• 15 ml dry vermouth

Here, a shaker will come in handy. Put a few ice cubes into it, pour in the gin and vermouth. The spirits can be mixed or just shaken. But we know what Agent 007 would choose. Finally, pour the alcohol into a cocktail glass and garnish with a green olive on a stick.

Cosmopolitan

• 40 ml lemon vodka
• 15 ml Triple Sec
• 15 ml lemon juice
• 30 ml cranberry juice

Prepare a triangular cocktail glass and a shaker. Put ice cubes into it, add the spirits and juice, then mix until the ingredients combine. Voila!
