Princess of Belaire

One thing I like about bar carts is, there is no wrong way to put one together. It's all up to you. I do think that if you're trappin', then you should have one. A drink relaxes people when they come over. Makes it easier to break the ice and as the trap queen hostess, keep everyone under control. You can buy one anywhere from Walmart to Ikea and online. Or you can make one out of almost anything. The one below was made from an old radio stand.

The one thing you want is a nice shaker and ice bucket. The one below is from Mainstay from Walmart. After that you can have fun. You can add wine glasses from Dollar Tree or Macy's. The Possibilities are endless.

Alcohol can sit for ages. So you do want to stock your bar with Liqueur. Mini cans and mini bottles are almost a godsend for stocking a bar cart. Below are basic mixed drinks you can just keep on the bar cart. When guests come over, you fill the ice-bucket with ice and serve em' one. For example, take a mini- orange juice can and pour it over some gin and ice in low-ball glass. Give them the drink and the rest of the can of orange juice. Below are some basic mixed drinks:

Gin and Juice

Apple Crown Royale and Cranberry Juice

Hennessy and Coke (including cherry coke and vanilla)

You may also want to add a small wine rack to your bar cart if it doesn't already come with one. Fill it up with several bottles of Arbor Mist and one bottle of Chandon or Belaire.
