Scrolling through interior decor accounts on Instagram it’s apparent that drinks trolleys are the must-have accessory that’s here to stay. No longer confined to houses that haven’t changed since the seventies, all the cool kids are proudly displaying their spirits, fancy fizz, glasses and cocktail paraphernalia on a bar cart. Practical, stylish, and most importantly freeing up that valuable cupboard space. Although don’t blame us if having your swankiest spirits on display has you fancying a lunchtime tipple…

A quick internet search will bring up delightful drinks trolleys; beautiful gold, circular, glass topped creations. And around £300 upwards. Not a problem at all if your budget stretches that far, but many of us here in London are squeezing our possessions into a small space, whilst paying half our salary each month in rent.

When we came across this Class Ohlson Trolley on Amazon, we knew it was the perfect cheap drinks trolley option to transform into a swanky bar cart. At under £40 with free UK delivery, you literally cannot go wrong. There weren’t even any arguments whilst assembling the flat pack which is unheard of! The wood comes un-sanded and unvarnished for a rustic look; it would look great painted to match the room’s colour scheme. Battery-operated fairy lights twirled around the iron stands would also look fab.

Obviously it’s absolutely imperative to keep a drinks trolley well stocked. We would recommend beginning with your preferred beverage and mixer (Mermaid Gin is ah-mazing, FYI) and a couple of bases for the kind of cocktails you like. Stock some rums and a Mojito, Dark n Stormy, Mai Tai, Rum Punch or Zombie are just the beginning of what can be knocked up at the end of a long week.

Vanilla Vodka and Passoa are essentials for a Saturday night Pornstar Martini, and also make a delicious Haribo-esque cocktail when shaken with cranberry & raspberry juice. Shots are always a good idea (and make you feel very fancy to offer as after dinner aperitif); we are yet to meet someone that refuses a second shot of Tiptree Salted Caramel Vodka Liqueur.

And there you have everything you’ll need to begin to put together a cheap drinks trolley for less than £40. From balcony bevs in the summer through to festive tipples, from pre-drinks to dinner parties; this bar cart is well worth the investment. With cocktail-themed decorations in all homeware shops, the decoration possibilities are endless. If you’ve got a bright colour scheme why not include citrus fruits in a bowl; or keep it more minimalist with just a couple of bottles of your favourite if that’s your vibe.
