Rather than our usual
Tabletop Tuesday, we thought we would switch things up a little bit and give
you a taste of something else! If you’re
a frequent visitor of Pinterest or of certain blogs, you have probably seen quite
a few bar carts and how to create a great set up. They mostly show you an image and explain how
the bar cart has really transformed the space it now occupies. These assumptions are very true to form, a
bar cart can really transform a small space and turn a drab corner into a
fabulous place to assemble drinks and display decanters and pretty
bottles. And even though these items
make a bar cart stand out, there are essential items that need to be included,
by this we are talking about the proper glasses to use and stock up on. Serving drinks in their appropriate glassware
not only makes your hosting style timeless and elegant, but gives an extra
something, something to the drink you are serving. Since we are in the business of tabletop we
are all about perfecting these types of things and sometimes could even be
considered OCD about things like this, but that’s what makes us good at what we
do! Personally, what stands out the most
on a bar cart are the glasses anyways.
So today we bring you what glasses are appropriate for certain drinks
and alcohol types.
Enjoy!
Bar cart | While these main seven glasses are pretty
essential to a perfect bar cart, the copper mug is a fun addition for the
occasional Moscow Mule.
Old Fashion:
Traditionally used to serve an Old Fashion drink or short mixed drinks, also
used for serving whiskey on the rocks.

the recipe of an Old Fashion.
Martini: Used to
serve chilled cocktails with an aromatic element, commonly known as the
Martini. The stem of the glass was
designed to prevent temperature changes to the drink when held. Martini recipes
Highball: A style of
glass that every bar should have, typically used for mixed drinks.
Collins Glass: Used to serve mixed drinks, more specifically
the Tom Collins drink.
Wine Glasses: Used
for both red and white wine.
Champagne Flute: Used
to serve champagne, the long stem is similar to the martini glass so the temperature
of the drink is not affected when being drunk.
Our favorite champagne, Veuve
Clicquot and Dom
Perignon!
Copper Mug:
Specifically used to serve the Moscow Mule.
See our blog
post on how to make these delightful drinks!
Shot Glass:
Considered a novelty item usually used to measure liquor and is either drunk
straight from the glass or poured into another glass.
