Moving into an apartment, one of the things I was most excited about was decorating a bar cart. They are hard to come by in small overcrowded college apartments!

Living in an apartment, finding the perfect space for a cart can be difficult. But even if you don’t have a lot of room, there are a few small essentials that can make your corner decorative and cute!

Moscow Mule Mugs
No products found.
Having a set of copper moscow mule mugs are essential on a bar cart! Copper mugs will keep your drink cold for longer, and the copper is said to actually enhance the vodka and ginger beer flavor in your drinks. The mugs linked are pure copper and not stainless steel, but the small price difference is worth it for the enhanced taste and temperature insulation.
Mixed Drink Recipe Books
Having a few drink recipe books not only makes for cute bar decor but is functional for discovering fun cocktail recipes! A few of my favorite recipe books for making mixed drinks are
- 60 – Second Cocktails: Amazing Drinks to Make At Home in a Minute
- The Art of Mixology: Classic Cocktails and Curious Connections
- The Homemade Bartender: The Third Edition: 200+ Cocktails Made With Four Ingredients or Less
