Barware

Barware is the working kit of a home bar: Boston shakers whose glass half doubles as a mixing glass, ice buckets built for a firm grip, decanters that seal air away from spirits, and cocktail glasses for a full round. It suits the host who mixes drinks rather than opens them, and a Boston shaker rewards anyone willing to learn its seal. Choose these pieces because each is built the way bars actually work, down to mixing glasses that let you watch a drink dilute as you stir.
