The evening shift
The bar cart
The same cart that holds your espresso machine by day holds the decanter by night. Gold, black or wood: pick one metal and keep to it.
How to arrange it
Top shelf is for what you touch: glasses, the shaker, the tray. Bottom shelf is bottles, grouped by height with labels forward. A tray on the top shelf is the trick that makes a cheap cart look expensive, because it gives the eye one edge to read.
10 picks, cheapest first.
