建造家庭酒吧can be intimidating. When having guests over for an evening of cocktails and conversation, we want to make sure our drinkware strikes a balance of fun, function, and good taste. So what's the best glassware for all occasions at home? To answer this question and more, we turned to酒店集团Ash NYC的Chief Creative Officer, Will Cooper.

As the design minds behind some of the country's most in-demand boutique hotels, including彼得和保罗酒店in New Orleans,警笛in Detroit, andThe Deanin Providence, ASH NYC knows a thing or two about barware, especially amid the spirit-forward cities where each of its locations is set. "We typically useLibbey对于商业玻璃器皿，”库珀告诉Food & Wine.

Libbey has been producing fine glasswarefor over 200 years and has understandably cracked the code for durable, well-designed products for both hotels and at home. Its stemware, tumblers, rocks glasses, margarita glasses, and beer mugs are carefully crafted out of expert manufacturing hubs in the U.S., Mexico, China, Portugal and the Netherlands — all locales known for their mastery of the material.

To say Libbey's product lineup is extensive is an understatement. Hundreds if not thousands of unique styles have been produced over the years (there's even a market forvintage Libbey glasses), with more still lining shelves today. Vibrantly swirledtumbler and rocks glass bundles, modernstemless Champagne flutes, and party-ready玛格丽塔玻璃和投手套装只占一小部分的品牌的assortment, all guaranteed to embody the brand's high quality and thoughtful design.

While hoteliers like Cooper celebrate the brand's reliability and attractiveness, they also no doubt appreciate the low cost of its products when stocking their popular watering holes, such as Hotel Peter & Paul's Elysium Bar. A 16-piece set of the brand's versatile高和低眼镜每单位低至$ 2, andwine glasses are as little as $7 each. (Libbey may have been founded in 1818, but its distribution practices have thankfully made their way into the 21st century — Amazon carries nearly查询“ Libbey眼镜”下的1,000种产品。”)

While it doesn't get much better value than Libbey, for a splurge Cooper personally can't resistLobmeyr, a brand made in Austria. "There are so many silhouettes, from extremely simple and modern to very ornate — something for everyone. The crystal is so thin and beautiful," he says. "You have to see it to believe it!"

With glassware taken care of, you don't need much more to round out your home bar. According to Cooper, all that's left is "a great tequila (we like Casamigos), some beautiful vintage silver barware, and a鸡尾酒振荡器对于一个伟大的马提尼酒。”
