Cocktail Mixing Glass with Seamless and Handblown Construction - Old Fashioned Bar Mixer Glass - Plain Design

Checks every box. I just ordered a new one, as the one I purchased six years ago finally gave out on me - and it was really my fault, as I took it HOT from the dishwasher and loaded it up with ice and made a drink - and that was not the first time I have done that. If I took better care of it, no doubt it would have lasted years longer!

Let me help you out here because some of the product information in the description just isn't accurate. Start with the dimensions: I've got one right here and the mixing glass is 5-3/4" tall x 3-1/2" in diameter. I don't know where the dimensions listed in the description came from. It is not 6-1/2" x 4". Even the box it's packaged in is a bit smaller than that. It's sort of single cocktail in size, assuming plenty of ice is used. I don't think I could get six ounces of liquid and eight ice cubes in there, but I haven't tried. For those who are interested it is "handblown in China." As for quality, the handblown character is evident and it's done to a high standard. Little ripples associated with hand made work appear in the glass, which is smooth, blemish-free, and quite robust. Very minimalist in design, it's well-executed. Solid, seamless, purist, attractive. Strikes me as a good value.Addendum: I broke mine and re-ordered because I liked it so much. Let's just say that, based on the replacement, the quality here can be quite inconsistent. Glass No. 2 weighs a full 25% less than its predecessor and that missing material is most obvious in the base. This one gets only three stars.

I wanted a nice clean looking cocktail mixing glass so that I could make more than one cocktail at a time. This is large and will accommodate four mixed drinks easily. Fits my strainers perfectly. It is very sturdy with very thick bottom, and a great weight to it. The lines are clean, and the spout pours perfectly with no spills. Very happy with it and bought another one from my other bar.

Bought this product over some of the similar ones due to price and reviews. I can now say that it works as well as any other mixing glass, so I feel it was a good decision.The glass is wide mouthed, straight-sided, and has a heavy bottom for stability. The lip has a small spout indentation for accurate pouring.I unexpectedly started using it as a holder for my common bar tools because it’s convenient. Everything fits in it very nicely: double jigger on bottom, muddler next to that, then bar spoon, Hawthorne strainer, and plastic olive toothpick.The only way they could improve the design would be to make the mouth slightly wider so you can fit a glass into it like a Boston shaker so I could get rid of my metal cocktail shaker. Currently, the opening of the mixing glass is the same size as a double old fashioned, so they won’t join up. I know this isn’t what this glass is for, but I didn’t know I’d end up using it for nearly everything, so it just makes sense to have it do the rest as well.I’d buy it again.

If you are mixing drinks that are spirit-forward, it pays to have a good mixing glass. If you vigorously mix the drink in this glass, before pouring into the serving glass (over ice), the drink will stay colder longer, without melting the ice in the serving glass as fast. You can mix doubles or multiple drinks in this glass with ease, since it is large. For its final trick, I recommend you try and pre-chill the glass. I make a couple of drinks which are served at around -22C, and everything used in the making of the drink has to be VERY cold to keep the drink components from warming up. Prior to getting this mixing glass, making this drink required pre-chilling two serving glasses (one to mix, one to serve). Now I just keep a spare mixing glass in the deep freeze, along with my ultra-cold ice and the spirits, and the drinks come out perfectly :)Add to this, a good quality bar spoon, a dash of technique, and you will be mixing your favorite cocktails with style!

Thick glass, and banging it around hasn't cracked it in the slightest.

This mixing glass is sturdy and well made. Nice heavy base helps keep it planted on the ground while you stir up your favorite cocktail. The style is simple and clean. Nice addition to the home bar!

It's a great mixing glass overall - great weight, looks good, good size. The only issue is that the spout is both small and very rounded at the tip, which can lead to the drink dribbling down the side as you pour it out. Pouring very slowly often stops this, but ice moving around in the glass still makes it a problem. Slightly changing the design to incorporate a larger spout would be great.
