Why Mediocre Mixology?

  What bar-specific tools do you REALLY need to get started? I narrow it down to three (with a fourth bonus tool if you're making some specific kinds of drinks). I'll also mention some of the make-it-work common things you might already have in your kitchen that can be substituted in a pinch. We'll also discuss glassware and my suggestions for places to hunt it down on a budget, as well as suggesting a minimal, pared-down glassware set that might be good to start with. (Although a single rocks glass will do you just fine if you don't want to expand into the fancy stuff).

Why is there another bartending podcast? Well, this one isn't for the pros, or the advanced home bartenders. This will help those curious about cocktails learn how to make them in the real world, without extra hullabaloo or complicated ingredients, and definitely no $60 booze bottles here.
