The Hive | Honeycomb Mixing Glass

Elevate Your Whiskey Ritual, crafted for those who appreciate fine spirits.

Mixing glasses are an alternative to the cocktail shaker. The difference is dilution. A mixing glass better controls the dilution of your cocktails.

Being Real

What Cocktails should be stirred and not shaken? Traditional cocktails like the Old Fashioned, The Manhattan, Dry Martini, and the Negroni. Just to name a few.

Basic barware and bar tools can't be discussed without talking about a mixing glass. And none are more iconic than this Sleek modern design. Enough with the cheap cocktail set, start a real bartending set with professional bar tools today. The mixing glass is enjoying a comeback in modern mixology. Dilution of drinks like a Manhattan or Old Fashioned is the surest way to decrease the quality of your craft cocktail. That's why, in a spirit or liquor forward drink, stirring a cocktail is the best way to preserve the aroma of that delicious bourbon or whiskey you're showcasing and measured out perfectly in your jigger. Shaking with so many small ice cubes waters down the drink much more than stirring with a bar spoon and mixing pitcher. A viciously fast stir is best to chill cocktails without dilution. And for that fast stir, a heavy mixing glass allowing leverage is key.

We recommend our Cocktail Bar Spoon 18” long for most efficient and effective stirs. The thick, workhorse of the industry. Barware and cocktailery tools aren't all created equal. Your bar accessories affect your drinks - so choose wisely - We promise a quality product and if you're not happy we'll replace or refund you. Stir away, friends. Cheers -

How to Use - Simply add ice, mixers, bitters, and stir. (find the balance between larger cubes for low dilution, but not too large to hinder stirring) Stir until the outside of the glass becomes cold and starts frosting. Strain, use a strainer and pour into one of our Hive cocktail glasses.

So now you know which cocktails should be stirred!

Finally, this centuries-old workhorse of the bartending industry is hailing as savior amidst cheap modern mixology sets. Ditch the flimsy shaker and cheap bartender kit with the floppy ice tongs. Come back to cocktailery's pre-prohibition roots and stir, strain, and pour a proper drink into a chilled martini glass for your guests.
