A proper bar is more than just bottles of booze. A whole world of accessories is out there, specifically designed to make you look like a sophisticated bon vivant instead of the filthy drunk that you are.

Below are just a couple of the most necessary accoutrements you will want to own. Without these, you might as well just be drinking out of the bottle. And if you're doing that, you might as well also be lying in the gutter with a fifth of Mad Dog in a brown paper bag, which is really better saved only for special occassions. As time permits, more esoteric paraphernalia may be added to this list.

Drink, pretty creature, drink!
William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

	The Shaker Indispensible when making cocktails for more than one. A standard shaker, used without too much ice, will hold enough for three to four drinks. Many shakers have an integrated strainer under a small secondary cap at the top, for pouring drinks through. Failing that, or if you are sporting your extra-fancy pants, you can use a bar strainer, below.
	The Strainer As in the handy illustration, stolen from a commercial website (I forgot which one), this odd-looking and overly complicated contraption is simply held over the mouth of the shaker when pouring drinks. Good for removing things like fruit pulp in addition to removing ice.
	The Jigger The neophyte still measuring out drink ingredients from a recipe will want one of these two-sided jiggers, which usually hold 1 1/2 ounces on one side and 3/4 on the other, though this varies. However, when making punch for twenty, this is a really, really slow way to do it.
