The Pill, The Vikings, The Knobbed and Eddy – dash! are an eclectic series of glasses which make up Zieher’s Bar Collection. Made of particularly break-proof and temperature-resistant borosilicate glass, all glasses not only offer an extravagant outer shell, but with a capacity of up to 500 ml, also provide plenty of space for extraordinary experiments and countless recipes. Despite their differences, all glasses are easy to combine and create possibilities that go far beyond serving a drink. Visit www.zieher.com to see more.
Utopia elevates the basics Utopia’s bulb jiggers come in three distinctive metal finishes – gold, copper and polished stainless steel – and their classic curves grace the bar. At the same time, their rounded design (with 25ml and 50ml bowls) fits comfortably in the hand, combining ergonomics and style. With cocktail mixing jars, Utopia has taken the classic proportions and size and added a twist, by reinventing them in stainless steel. The 58cl jars are also double walled and so help keep the drink cool. Bitters bottles are cocktail bar essentials and Utopia’s latest range focuses on design as well as practicality. The bitters bottles are available with a silver, gold or copper top and hold 10cl (3.5oz). www.utopia-tableware.com
Cocktail classics “Absolutely, there has been a noticeable surge in the popularity of certain drinks in recent years, and this trend has significantly impacted the barware sector. Two notable examples are the Pornstar Martini and Espresso Martini,” Fine Dining and Living tells us. “The Pornstar Martini is traditionally served in a distinct type of glass BonBistro - a stemmed glass with a sidecar shot. This demand for the specific glassware required for serving the Pornstar Martini has led to a notable increase in sales of these specialised glasses. Similarly, the Espresso Martini has also seen a surge in popularity. The unique shape and design of the glassware, typically a stemmed martini glass, have been in higher demand due to the growing preference for this drink.” The Prior Glass from Fine Dining and Living’s BonBistro brand is a great option for serving these on-trend cocktails.

The stylish option The Nick & Nora Glass is inspired by the stylish fictional detective and his wealthy wife - Nick and Nora Charles, written by American writer Dashiell Hammett. Famous bartender Dale DeGroff, the King of Cocktails, was searching for a small cocktail glass and found this elegant style displayed in the movie “Thin Man”. He picked it up and began to call the glass Nick & Nora. Orrefors is launching the elegant old-school martini glass as part of the More collection. This popular model holds 5.7 oz and goes well with drinks such as Martini, Cosmopolitan, and Manhattan. Designed by Erika Lagerbielke.
