Bar Glassware

Whether you are crafting cocktails and mocktails for a family gathering or you just want to enjoy your favorite beverage after a long day, complete your home mixology station with bar glassware. Look for glassware designed to enhance the presentation and flavor of your beer, wine or liquor. For a classic martini, use a jigger to measure 3.5 ounces of vodka and .5 ounces of vermouth, then combine with ice in a mixing glass. Stir, or mix in a cocktail shaker before using a strainer to pour the contents into a martini glass. The V-shape and long stem of Martini glasses help to keep the drink cool. Enjoy cocktails on the rocks in old-fashioned glasses. For an on-theme beverage, create the glass’ namesake— use a muddler to mash a sugar cube, bitters and an orange peel, then finish the recipe with 2 ounces of whiskey. Garnish your creation with a fresh orange peel and a cherry for a classic old-fashioned. Or, create an original mocktail by substituting the alcohol for your favorite shrub. Proper bar glassware allows your beer, wine and champagne to breathe, bringing out the natural flavors and delicate aromas. Once you’re finished bartending for the evening, store your bar glassware, bar tool set and serving tray on a portable bar cart, and display your spirits here in glass decanters.
