The Top 5 Glassware Items Found in Bars
Barware is basically the equipment that one uses to mix and serve alcoholic drinks. Having these equipments makes the jobs of bartenders much easier. Although there are countless numbers of barware that a bar uses, the top 5 glassware items that you WILL find in bars are, shot glasses, martini glasses, beer mugs, wine glasses, and last but not least, the old-fashioned glasses. One may think, why use so many different glasses when at the end of the day, you are just drinking the liquid? That is because there is an art to mixing drinks and drinking it.
Shot glasses are normally really small glasses made of thick glass and it is used to hold around an ounce of concentrated liquor, tequila or vodka. It can also be used for mixing drinks behind the bar. The reason why shot glasses are made of thick glasses is so that it can withstand the slamming of the glass on the table which usually happens after a person consumes the alcohol in a single gulp. If the bartender serves shots in a champagne or wine glass, and the glass is slammed on the table, it is very likely that the glass will shatter into pieces. Champagne or wine glasses are not built to be slammed on bar counters.
Planning an Event With a Hired Cocktail Machine
If you are planning a special event then you may want to consider hiring a cocktail machine in order to serve cool, ready-made cocktails that can be delivered to your guests with the minimum of fuss and mess.
Cocktail machines are supplied together with a non-alcoholic fruit or cocktail flavored mixture, which is added into the machine. You can also add any type of alcohol that you wish. The machine then freezes the mixture, and dispenses cold, perfectly blended cocktails for your guests. This means that there is no need to mix drinks during the event, and that there are no bottles of cocktail shakers to be cleaned up at the end of the night.
