Mixing glasses
There are different glasses available for mixing cocktails. Which one you need depends on whether you want to shake or stir the drink – and also on your preferences.
Mixing glasses for stirring
Stir glasses are used for the preparation of stirred cocktails. These types of mixing glasses are available with or without a pouring lip and in various (cut) designs. In addition to the mixing glass, you also need a bar spoon and a strainer.
Mixinggläser zum Shaken
Mixing glasses for Boston Shakers are robust beakers that, thanks to their shape, can be combined with a shaker cup. Together, they make a Boston Shaker for shaken cocktails. Here, too, a bar strainer is essential if you want to pour the drink into the guest glass without solid contents from the shaking process.
Some bartenders also use Boston Shaker mixing glasses to stir cocktails. However, it is more common to use a dedicated stir glass. Whichever variant you choose, at Barstuff you're sure to find the right mixing glass and still have a choice of a number of interesting designs.
