Previously I had shown you how I styled
the bar cart in our loft (here).
Now that we are living in a house, I thought it would be fun to show you how I’ve
tweaked it a bit. I love the idea of displaying some bar type items, especially
when having company over. When Jose Cuervo
sent me this Teagarita package, I was
thrilled because everything tied into my bar car styling from the mason jar glasses,
to the adorable striped straws (which I always keep handy). We keep regular
Jose Cuervo tequila on our cart, but what I love about the Teagarita is that it’s
a delicious twist on the classic
lime flavored margarita, blended with Jose Cuervo Tequila and orange liqueur,
then combined with refreshing iced tea which makes for an easy ready to
serve over ice cocktail.
assembling a bar cart for hosting or even for everyday purposes, here are some
tips I think are helpful:
- Have am array of different types of liquors. You never
know what someone will ask for, so it’s good to have the essentials on
hand and a few mixers. - Also keep easy to pour drinks on hand such
as Teagarita. These make for quick
and delicious cocktails which can be poured over ice, garnished and
served. - Add some visual appeal. Flowers, cute
straws, trays and books make the cart or table appear visually pleasing as
opposed to just placing a bunch of alcohol out and about. - Layer and arrangement make a difference. Again,
trays help create perfect layers. Use the full width of your area to
create a layered look. - Keep garnishes on hand. I usually have a
lemon or lime in the fridge and again, keep straws and cocktail stirrers out
to make an ordinary cocktail look a little more glam.
tips do you have for bar cart styling/building?
Make sure you check out the Jose Cuervo Teagarita package and drink, you wont be disappointed!

I made a bar cart for my mother out of a small end table 🙂 she loves it. Our family doesn't drink much alcohol so it's mainly for soda and juices at parties. She always puts down a liner of some kind so that drinks don't spill on it.

I love how you've styled yours. I'm now keen on getting some stirrers and straws for ours so it has a more complete look.
