Ingredient 1 - The bar cart
An attractive copper bar cart, a vintage specimen from your great-aunt or a sleek industrial trolley - that’s where it all starts. Polish the glass, choose a good spot and on to ingredient 2.
Ingredient 2 - The green base
Obviously your base is green. Place a collection of your finest botanical favourites on the bottom shelf. These might include the missionary plant and a modest fern. Plants in an attractive glass earn bonus points, as do beauties under a dome.
Ingredient 3 - Your finest glasses
Bring out your finest glass heirlooms and given them a polish. Champagne glasses, whiskey tumblers, engraved cocktail glasses: get them ready for the magnificent drinks that will be produced in the kitchen. And obviously you need to sample them before serving …
Ingredient 4 - Vases with content
Yes, flowers! Just like the glasses and plant pots, you can make a feature out of a couple of bouquets. Select a couple of eye-catching vases, mix old with new, colour with plain and glass with ceramic. And then fill them with dahlias, Gloriosa and rosehips. You’re almost ready.
Ingredient 5 - An interesting object
Maybe the conversation could do with a kickstart. Or perhaps your bar cart is lacking a bit of personality or je ne sais quoi. An art book, a display object or a personal photo makes your bar car entirely apéro-ready. Hey, there’s the doorbell!
