Cocktail mixing glasses are designed to stir spirit-forward cocktails that don't need to be shaken, such as the Manhattan, Negroni, Martini, and Sazerac.
A mixing glass is for stirring cocktails that don't need to be shaken-- these cocktails are spirit-forward and have ingredients of similar density. Cocktail shakers are for cocktails that need to be shaken in order to thoroughly mix ingredients of various densities.
Look at the size and sturdiness of the mixing glass: Does it allow you to make 2 drinks at once? Does it have a heavy base so it doesn't move around while you stir? (For our mixing glass, the answer to both these questions is YES!)
Hold your bar spoon with the convex side sliding around the perimeter of the glass. Stir steadily for 15-30 seconds with ice, unless the recipe says otherwise.
While some mixing glasses are very delicate and require hand washing, our heavy-duty mixing glasses are dishwasher-safe!
That depends on your needs, but personally we think a mixing glass that can hold two cocktails at once is ideal.
Spirit-forward cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Martini, and Negroni are made in a mixing glass.
You'll definitely want to pick up a bar spoon for stirring cocktails. A julep strainer is traditionally used with a mixing glass, although our Hawthorne strainer also matches the diameter of ours perfectly. Of course, don't forget your cocktail jigger, too!
This mixing glass is meant for everyday use and is great for making drinks for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, dinner parties, and date nights.
This mixing glass is made for everyone: beginner, intermediate, and advanced home bartenders as well as professional mixologists. Anyone who enjoys spirit-forward cocktails that need to be stirred will benefit from this glass.
The interior is designed to fit perfectly with the A Bar Above bar spoon for super smooth stirring.
This mixing glass comes in a recyclable, reusable gift box for easy, beautiful gifting.
