Currently Coveting: Bar Carts + Chic Cocktails

There’s something so welcoming and glamourous about a thoughtfully curated bar cart, don’t you think?

I love that they strike the perfect balance between style and practicality. On one hand, a cart stocked with a variety of beautiful bottles serves as an elegant interior decor piece, and on the other, a stylish cart promotes the fact that you’re always ready to entertain should friends drop by. Love that!

It’s been a month of birthdays, weddings and celebrations for us and in my old age (ha!) I’m all about quality over quantity when it comes to alcoholic beverages, so you could say I’m having a bit of a ‘moment’ with cocktails.  Granted it’s a long moment, as I’ve been into cocktails for years now and can’t see my love waning any time soon, but there’s something  about the preparation and the bringing together of ingredients that I love. Not to mention the fact that cocktails are much prettier to look at than your standard drink.

Spring is upon us now in Australia and given the party season is about to kick off it’s glittery heels, I’m dreaming of joyous afternoons in the sun and chic evening soirees with a cocktail in hand. I’m all about Mojito’s, Caprioskas, Moscow Mule’s, Lychee Martini’s, or anything with elderflower, passionfruit and pineapple. Fresh and fruity!

+ What about you? What’s your cocktail of choice?

  1. oohhh I would love a vintage bar cart! Such pretty pics you have gathered, I love the idea of freezing berries into ice cubes! Cannot wait for summertime cocktails… I am a huge fan of anything with passionfruit or strawberries (but will never say no to a good quality mojito – thankfully my mint is going crazy!)
