Travel Bar Sets - Top Picks

For the business traveler or anyone who stays in hotels often, this travel bar set is perfect because it has all the tools you need to take full advantage of the mini bar. It is compact enough to be packed in your suitcase and includes a corkscrew, ice tongs, stirrer and two collapsible cups, all of which are stainless steel. As an extra bonus, it also has a 6-ounce flask with funnel so you can be assured your favorite spirit is always with you.

The Martini Tote is a leatherette case that is perfect for the occasional outing for two. The case is insulated to keep your bottles at the right temperature and since it holds two 750 ml bottles you can carry your gin and vermouth anywhere and start mixing up the Martinis. All of the essential bar tools are here too and all are of stainless steel. You'll find the shaker, strainer, stirrer, tongs, corkscrew and jigger along with two acrylic cocktail glasses.

A leather case lined with velvet, this traveling bar is perfect for anyone who loves a well-made drink anywhere. Its capacity is bigger than most portable sets and holds atwo full bottles of your favorite spirits and includes all the tools you need. This includes a large, 16-ounce shaker and Hawthorne strainer, a jigger for precise pouring, cocktail napkins and a "spork" stirrer. As an extra bonus the kit has a "martini spray bottle" for misting juices, liqueurs or bitters in your favorite cocktails.

This martini set is simple, compact and has the tools you need for the ultimate martini. For the business traveler, might I suggest vermouth in the round flask for when you hit the hotel's mini bar. For the day tripper looking for a special spot to share a tini with your special someone, you can pour a mix into the flask and stir it up on site. This kit is small but holds two 3-ounce cocktail glasses, olive picks, a stylish mini shaker, jigger and small round flask with funnel. It may be simple and it may be compact, but it's all there.

Poker and Martinis, what could be better? Imagine showing up to your weekly poker night with this case, you open it up and not only do you have all the wares necessary for a great game of hold 'em (chips and two decks of cards), but you have the tools to make a great cocktail. You will be the hit of the table, let's just hope your luck holds up. The kit is simple but includes a shaker, strainer (although with the 3-piece shaker the external strainer is often unnecessary), jigger and a small flask with funnel. Granted, that flask is not going to last for an entire poker night so some extra spirits are necessary, but the concept of game and drink is pretty cool.
