Host happy hour in the comfort of your own home with highball glasses, tumblers and other essential barware accessories. Prepare for party success with a full bar set that includes all the glassware you need to set up a high-profile service. Choose from sets by Baccarat that exude vintage flair, or opt for the smooth lines and weighty bottoms of contemporary trios by Orrefors. To aerate peaty scotch or simply upgrade your presentation, look for attractive decanters that also protect their contents from oxidation. Serve specialty drinks in dedicated glassware such as martini glasses from Villeroy & Boch, Moser and Simon Pearce. Slanted sides exude Bond-level cool, while the variety of available styles ensure you’ll find something that suits your personal aesthetic. For throwback drinks like an old fashioned, there are short glasses that let the aromatic mixture of bourbon, bitters, sugar, orange and cherry shine. Reach for whiskey glasses by Waterford, and see how the amber liquid is transformed by etched crystal. Other brands feature colored-glass designs that add a modern touch to the evening’s festivities. Between drinks, display your favorites on a wooden tray atop your wine fridge, or stow them alongside your liquor and mixers in a dedicated cabinet. From splashing out a few fingers of brandy to handing out an ice-cold Moscow Mule in a hammered copper mug, great entertaining requires great glassware. Pour vodka into stylish tumblers, fill highball glasses with gin and tonic or layer a traditional daquiri into a beveled goblet and prepare to impress.
