Home bar storage
A cocktail cabinet is a piece of furniture designed to store liquor bottles, glassware, and bar accessories.
Traditional examples are wooden cabinets with doors that open to reveal a fitted interior, sometimes with a fold-down shelf for mixing drinks.
The term is more common in British English; Americans might say bar cabinet or liquor cabinet.
