Our favorite bar accessories from Target
Spruce up your at-home bar with some of the best bar accessories from Target.
Target is our favorite sorry-not-sorry guilt trip, where you walk in for three things and walk out with a full cart. On our most recent trip to Target, we got roped into the bar section, and since we’re all turning into our own versions of bartenders, we decided to stock up on better bar accessories.
With recommendations from our bartender friends and a few likes of our own, we’ve got the best bar accessories you can pick up from Target to primp your at-home bar.

Having a cocktail mixing glass is an essential bar tool, as some of us like our drinks stirred not shaken. This large cocktail mixing glass is a must-have if you’re more of a stirred over shaken person.

The best part? These hunks look great in a speedo. Hang a hunk on the side of your glass to mark your drink and avoid mix-ups.

CHILL Gray Cooling Pour Spout
When you’re nuzzled in a blanket on the couch, making a trip to the fridge to refill your wine glass can be quite dreadful. After just 2 hours in the freezer or refrigerator, the CHILL spout will keep wine at the ideal serving temperature. Keep wine cold without diluting it with this wine chilling rod with a built-in pour spout.

If you’re the type of person who entertains a lot of guests, then having a bar cart around is a great help. It reduces the back and forth from the kitchen, and you have all your tools and liquor in one place. We loved this one by Maliza for both its sturdiness and looks.
Price - $179.99
Recipe Book
So we might not have picked this out from the bar section per se, but Bar Director at Puesto, Beau du Bois advises everyone to have a personal recipe book. “When you tweak that Martini or Margarita so it slaps how you need it to slap; write it down and enjoy that fact that you just became an author,” says Beau. Don’t forget to pick up your own recipe book.

Tovolo Sphere Clear Ice System (Set of 4) Spring Green
Watching all bartenders work with ice spheres left us wanting to give it a shot ourselves. Of course, you can find many other ice trays just like this, but this one is a recommendation from Eryn Reece, Head Bartender at Banzarbar; so we had to grab it.
Price - $24.99
Project 62 3 liters Gold Ice Bucket
