- Precision Tools: A double-sided Japanese-style jigger is essential for measuring liquid ingredients accurately, typically featuring 1 oz and 2 oz sides.
- Mixing Accessories: Long-handled bar spoons are used for stirring drinks in a mixing glass, while Hawthorne strainers help remove ice and pulp during the pour.
