Te only thing better than a new line of bar tools endorsed by world-renowned cocktail expert tony abou-Ganim is a line designed by tony abou-Ganim. Launching in march along with abou-Ganim’s second book (see Page 94), modern mixologist Barware is a visually stunning suite of elegant, modern, professional-grade pieces . Te Italian-made crystal beaker and mixing glass complement the three-piece cocktail shaker, called a cobbler. But it’s the thoughtful details—the subtle, ergonomic dimple where your fingers should land on the Hawthorne and julep cocktail strainers, and the perfect 25-degree angle on the mixing spoons— that make this set the first any aspiring home mixologist will want ... and the last a professional bartender will ever need.
