I’ve always been a sucker for cute barware. I mean, I can’t be the only one who’s perpetually in pursuit of a Pinterest-worthy bar cart moment, right?
So when Caraway, the brand behind those impossibly chic cookware sets, revealed its cohesive new Complete Bar Set, I knew my existing collection of mixed-matched mixology tools was in trouble. Available officially as of October 21, and it’s easily one of the most beautiful bar collections I’ve ever seen.
The $315 (already on sale for $245) nine-piece set has everything you need to fix a proper drink at home: a double-walled cocktail shaker, Hawthorne strainer, bar spoon, muddler, jigger, paring knife, peeler and bottle opener. Everything is made of stainless steel.

All of the cocktail-making gadgets have a designated home on a modular birchwood base with a back wrapped in a soft magnetic fabric. It’s minimalist, sculptural and, as a result, totally counter-worthy. You can even pick from six Caraway colorways: Cream, Navy, Gray, Mist, Yellow and a bold Red that feels especially festive if you have holiday gifts on your mind like I do.
Bar sets are a popular gift choice for a reason. Almost everyone drinks something whether it’s cocktails, mocktails or whatever you call some muddled berries in sparkling water. I’ve been known to make a shaken espresso when I’m feeling a little extra motivated in the morning, and in the evening, happy hour is a ritual in my household.

This one is not only functional, but display worthy, and I think most recipients will experience that little fancy feeling you get from opening a sophisticated gift. It’s subtly luxurious, but not showy.
The Caraway Complete Bar Set is available exclusively now at carawayhome.com. If you’ve been dreaming of a more aesthetic bar setup, or simply need a holiday gift that feels impressive without trying too hard, this is it.
