bar cart.

I've been wanting a bar cart for my place for years. Instead of going out and buying the first thing that caught my eye, its been a years-long search for a special piece that fit seamlessly within my design aesthetic.This summer, whilst wandering through an antique barn in rural New Hampshire, a mint condition jade green 1950s kitchen cart covered in table clothes and various teacups and knick knacks, caught my eye and the rest is history. For $40, this cart was to be my moving bar and unlike a lot of the similar carts I'd seen online and in antique stores, it didn't need any refurbishing.Of course, my cart is stocked with the essentials--to shelf liquors, mixing tools, and glassware. Recently, as a birthday present from my sister, I became the owner of a whole bunch of small bottles of fancy (alcohol based -- the best kind!) Scrappers Bitters in flavors like cardamon, grapefruit, lavender, and celery.I've also been able to take items out that have previous been stored in cabinets--like my amazing cactus juicer and prickly pear margarita salt dish. It's all so exciting.What else should I include on my bar cart? Who wants to come over for a fancy cocktail?
