French Luxury Home BarsThe finest home bars proudly serve cocktails in Christofle silver and Baccarat crystal. French Absinthe Set and Garden Glassware
Silver Barware for Luxury Home Bars and Wine GiftsChristofle silver for home bars, a French standard in luxury. Christofle has been the standard in silver since 1830. Suppliers to heads of state and royalty, they have a 6 generation history of special commissions. It's the perfect way to serve fine French wines. Undoubtedly the most stylish and sophisticated of all barware found during cocktail hour. The classic martini glass is defined by the straight edges of the cup expanding outward from the stem at approximately a 60-degree angle. In addition to serving drinks in aesthetically appealing glasses, drinks just taste better when served in a chilled glass. If you’re ever in a pinch without enough chilled glasses, you can fill a martini glass with crushed ice and cold water and let it sit for a few minutes. For ice, there is nothing that will set you apart like a Christofle Ice Bucket made by silversmiths who have supplied royalty for 6 generations. Ercuis bears the name of a small village in France and has created luxury products since 1867. Today Ercuis perpetuates tradition through the works of craftsmen and creators who build modernity on the strong basis of experience with a demand for quality, fine detailing and passion.

Old Fashioned and HighballTypically 8-10 oz. Signature drinks: Whiskey, scotch, drinks served “on the rocks”, shots mixed with juices. A low profile heavy glass, the old fashioned glass (also known as a double old fashioned, lowball, or DOF) is one of the must-haves for any bar. Most commonly used for straight alcohol “on the rocks". Typically 8-10 oz. The highball, or Collins, is usually used for ice-filled drinks that contain fruit juices or soda. It is tall and slim, making it a great glass for presentation of colorful mixes. Cocktail Shakers and French Crystal DecantersDefinitely one of the most commonly used instruments behind the bar, the cocktail shaker is used to mix ingredients and to rapidly chill beverages. A cocktail shaker filled with ice will bring a liquid to almost freezing in a matter of seconds when shaken vigorously. There are three basic types of cocktail shakers. The most traditional are the three-piece shakers, consisting of a tumbler, a tight fitting perforated lid (for straining) and a cap that covers the strainer. Go to:
