A Bar Above Diamond Cut Cocktail Mixing Glass, Thick Sturdy Glass Beaker, to Mix and Stir Cocktails, Drink Mixer, for Bar Mixing Set, Basic, Professional, or Home Bar Accessories, 18 Oz

Handmade, Seamless & Crystal Clear

After months of testing custom glassware behind our bar, we chose this glass for its perfect combination of durability and beauty.

The "Yarai" design is both beautiful and ubiquitous. It's the quintissential mixing glass design and you're likely to see it behind most craft cocktail bars around the world. It's timeless and classic, sitting perfectly on every back bar. From the pre-prohibition speakeasy to the ultramodern craft mixology bar, it'll look right at home.

The Professional Choice

While most mixing glasses perform adequately behind a home bar, the little things really matter to the pros. These mixing glasses were selected by a career bartender to be the best choice for a high volume bar:
- Weighted bottom helps prevent movement while stirring one-handed
- 550ml size fits comfortably in your hand while still fitting two cocktails when needed
- Dripless pourspout eliminates an extra cleanup step when you're deep in the weeds
- Interior curvature perfectly matches our A Bar Above bar spoons, so your stir will be as effortless as it is quiet.

Do you really need a mixing glass?

While you certainly can stir your cocktails in the bottom of your cocktail shaker or a pint glass, a mixing glass like this one is a better choice because:
- The wide shape allows more of your drink to touch the ice, allowing for the perfect dilution and chill.
- The weighted base is stable and won't scoot or tip as you stir - even if you're stirring one handed.
- Mixing glasses like this one are calibrated to fit the Julep Strainer - the traditional strainer of choice for stirred drinks.

So no - you don't NEED a mixing glass. But there's a reason you'll see them behind all craft cocktail bars. They just make better drinks, faster. Add this one to your backbar and you'll never go back!
