Still & Shaker brings bar‑cart confidence home. With a smart six‑bottle setup and a couple of mixers, you can cover dozens of classics and a signature or two. We explain spirits by role (base, modifier, bitter), show why ice is an ingredient, and keep techniques unfussy. Expect simple recipes, seasonal twists, and spirit‑free options your guests will actually love. Hosting becomes easy when the toolkit is small and the flavours are dialled.
