Forget the fancy bars and expensive cocktails, Mzansi. Everything you need to make lekker drinks to impress your chomies can be found around your home. Dala what you must with these clever, everyday kitchen hacks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measuring Jigger? No Stress!
Your shot glass is your new bestie. Most shot glasses are about 50ml, perfect for measuring vodka, gin, or your fave spirit. 99 problems but a jigger aint 1!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixing Magic
No cocktail shaker? No worries! Use a mason jar or even your water bottle. Just make sure it seals tight, gooi your ingredients in, and give it a shake like a Polaroid picture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muddle Like a Pro
You don\u2019t need a fancy muddler to release those fresh mint flavours in your mojito. A wooden spoon will do the job. Get in there and mash it up like you’re crushing it in life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice, Ice, Baby
Did you know better ice makes better cocktails? Use those big silicone molds to make chunky, clear ice cubes. They\u2019ll keep your drinks chilly without watering them down. Upgrade your drink game one cube at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect Pour
No bar spoon? No problem! Use a long-handled tablespoon to stir your cocktails. Whether you’re mixing a classic martini or crafting a new favourite, you’ll be nailing it like a seasoned bartender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citrus Queen
Fresh juice makes all the difference. Squeeze those lemons and limes by hand. Your cocktails will taste fresher and more vibrant. Skip the store and gooi some elbow grease in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why wait? Get creative, and start mixing. Your home bar is about to get lit! Cheers! \ud83c\udf79<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
