SPOTLIGHT ON…
Toast To The Host
With friends and family visiting over the festive season, a sleek bar cart makes a stylish statement while the host or hostess makes drinks for their guests. This brass beauty from Soho Home (pictured above) was inspired by the vintage drinks trollies found in Soho House venues around the world, and perfectly showcases different beverages for guests to peruse.
Both beautiful and useful, it holds various shapes and sizes of elegant cut glasses, barware such as an ice bucket and cocktail shaker, and finishing touches like citrus wedges, twists of orange peel, cinnamon sticks for mulled wine and olives for martinis. Whether serving cocktails or mocktails, champagne or sparkling water, the flexibility of a moving bar means it can be tucked away between guests and rolled out with a welcoming flourish when loved ones arrive.sohohome.com
