Fun Fact: juleps predate straws! The julep strainer, which today is used to strain the ice from mixed drinks, get their name from their original purpose: holding back the crushed ice while sipping a cup of julep! Embrace history, forgo a straw, grab a julep strainer, and imbibe!

The Kentucky Derby is off to the races this weekend, and there's no better drink for the fastest two minutes in sports than a Mint Julep.

Just at bourbon and mint!

We love agave spirits, they feel like sunshine in a glass. Keep it traditional this Cinco de Mayo with a Margarita or Paloma!
Try a Paloma with @TopNoteTonic Grapefruit or spice up your Margarita with @bitterexbitters Hot & Bothered Hot Pepper, or Spicy Celery bitters.
Salud!

This is the kind of community oriented business models. "'Having a job go away after 10 years is tough,” [Roost owner Joe Scroggs] says. “We want to give them whatever resources we can to help, if they’re interested.'”

@NiseiLounge Hi friends! 🍺🥃

[KitBarSupplyChicago @KitBarSupply]

New in Store: Clear Ice maker
The Eparé ice mold makes making clear ice at home actually possible.
Using double layer insulation the system forces the water to freeze from the top down, allowing all the air that would be trapped to be pushed down and out the air vents.

[KitBarSupplyChicago @KitBarSupply]

Product Spotlight: Double Ended Stir Stick
There are a lot of ways to stir a cocktail.
Just like the spoon the twisted stem provides a better grip and the all-in-one constructions adds stability.
Avail in Stainless Steel, Gunmetal Black, Copper, and Gold and either 33.5 or 43.5cm

[KitBarSupplyChicago @KitBarSupply]

Product Spotlight: Garnish & Ice Tongs
Olea's 12" garnish tongs allow for precision when adding delicate finishing touches to your drinks.
The talon ended ice tongs from Cocktail Kingdom make picking up ice cubes very easy, but beware they are, in fact, a little sharp.

[KitBarSupplyChicago @KitBarSupply]

Event: Jan 28 & 29 - Wicker Park
Dry January Pop Up Bar
