The next time you visit a fine restaurant, craft cocktail bar, or attend a high-end event, take time to appreciate the type of glasses, barware, and bar accessories they use.
Good-quality establishments carefully consider their bartending tools and equipment. Their management realizes that the use of elegant crystal glasses, high-end cocktail accessories, and high-quality bartending supplies lifts the appeal of the venue and the appearance and enjoyment of the drinks they serve. The use of quality bartender equipment enhances the guests' overall experience, ensuring the customers are more likely to return.
Good-quality crystalline glass has long been a sign of style and elegance. Lead-free glass, in particular, is known for its strength, versatility, clarity, and brilliance.
NUDE is a leading global glassware brand recognized for crafting beautiful, handmade, and memorable lead-free crystal drinkware, decorative objects, and bartools. Many of the best five-star hotels, wine bars, cocktail bars, and restaurants around the world now use NUDE brand barware.
From eye-catching, modern crystal mixology tools to exquisite bar utensils and home bar supplies, the NUDE Barware Range features all the bartending equipment you need for your home or establishment.
Here’s a closer look at NUDE bar products and cocktail supplies, all of which are perfect for casual or occasional use at home, events, or commercially.
NUDE Glass Bar Accessories
The production of glassware has origins dating back to ancient times, but crystal glass first emerged in the 17th century, and its use quickly became seen as a symbol of elegance by the elite.
Although NUDE crafts an extensive range of lead-free crystal drinking glasses, our talented design team also creates exceptional glass bar equipment that has become home bar essentials for many who like to entertain or have guests over regularly.
Whether you’re a seasoned drinks connoisseur or simply like a cocktail occasionally, a quality crystal glass wine cooler from the NUDE Ice Bucket Range offers the ideal way to serve champagne or crisp white wine to the table. This can also be paired with sets of wine or champagne glasses from the NUDE Wine Glass Collection.
As far as cocktail equipment goes, a contemporary glass NUDE shaker is perfect for mixing the most delicious Daiquiris, Cosmo’s, or Margarita’s. These beautifully crafted pieces also look fabulous displayed on a table or home bar with matching glassware from the NUDE Cocktail Glass Range.
Craft Perfect Cocktails with Professional Barware
Mixology and the art of mixing and serving cocktails and drinks have come a long way over recent years.
Although some assume you can serve a cocktail in any household glass, for bartenders and those who appreciate good beverages and drink presentations, that’s certainly not the case!
The appearance of your drink and the bar tools you use matter—especially when it comes to mixed beverages. This is why owning a decent bar tool set and having quality bar accessories for home is essential to impress your guests during cocktail parties and drinks soirees.
Many of the world’s most well-loved drinks and cocktails benefit from being mixed and presented with quality glass home bar tools.
Use a NUDE shaker like the NUDE Hepburn Shaker with Metal Top to make incredible Margaritas. Keep bottles of sparkling wine, prosecco, and champagne at the perfect temperature with the help of the NUDE Glacier Champagne Cooler, or get creative and wow guests with your bartending skills by serving glamorous cocktails and beverages from the NUDE Hepburn Alchemy Glass.
Discover Bar Accessories for Your Home Bar
When it comes to bar accessories for the home, the NUDE barware series offers crystal cocktail glasses, sleek glass wine coolers, glass cocktail mixing glasses, and stunning, orb-like alchemy glasses.
Here are a few suggestions on how NUDE bartending tools can elevate the appeal of your drinks:
- Crystal Wine Coolers: Ice buckets and wine coolers are versatile barware staples. Items like the NUDE Glacier Wine Cooler, cast from clear crystal glass, are as chic as they are functional. Featuring two hand-pressed dimples to aid with lifting and carrying, this design is perfect for chilling a good bottle of Sauvignon Blanc or your favorite Pinot Grigio.
- Glass Cocktail Shakers with Lids: The NUDE Hepburn Shaker with Metal Top is an excellent example of sophisticated, practical glassware design. Part of the Hepburn Range by Brad Ascalon, it has a clear lead-free crystal shaker and highly polished metal top with a striking copper finish. It’s a beautiful blend of classic and contemporary design and looks perfect displayed next to a set of NUDE martini glasses or NUDE highball glasses. From the same range, the NUDE Hepburn Mixing Glass with Metal Stirrer is also a popular barware tool, ready to muddle and mix the best mojitos!
- Alchemy Glasses: To really take your cocktail presentation to new heights, alchemy glasses like the visually stunning NUDE Hepburn Alchemy Glass turn cocktails into conversation pieces. This bold, playful design matches the NUDE Hepburn Shaker, with a clear lead-free crystal glass orb as a bottom and a glossy copper top. It has an almost whimsical, timeless, and dramatic appeal that will impress even the most discerning drinkers.
Impress Your Guests with Your Bar Tools
Having high-quality bartender equipment and glass bar kits to hand is not only functional but also helps elevate your guests' overall drinking experience.
You can whip up the most exciting cocktails and drinks for cozy nights in or impress visitors with your bartending and mixology skills. Consider putting your bar tool set to the test in the following situations:
- Casual Lunches and Gatherings: If you enjoy having friends, family, or a loved one over for lunch or dinner, chances are that it may include serving a good bottle of white wine. White wine is best chilled, so to keep it at its best, use the NUDE Glacier Wine Cooler. This elegant transparent crystalline cooler has lots of room for ice and the bottle, plus beautiful dimples at the side that add interest and style. This wine cooler is perfect for use during the summer when the temperatures soar. It also looks chic when placed by the table to keep wine chilled while talking or enjoying a meal.
- Formal Dinners and Occasions: Elevate the drinking experience for guests and add style to a formal occasion by having champagne and sparkles on ice in the NUDE Glacier Champagne Cooler. Place the cooler on the side for guests at the entrance or on the table for pre-dinner drinks. The Glacier Cooler is larger than the Glacier wine cooler and the perfect size for most champagne bottles. You can raise the bar further by pairing it with glasses from the NUDE Champagne Glass Collection.
- Cocktail Parties and Soirees: Bartending is a skill, and few things impress guests more than the ability to shake up a good Cosmopolitan, muddle a refreshing mojito, or serve a delectable Negroni! This is all possible at home if you invest in a good bar tool set. Items like the NUDE Hepburn Mixing Glass with Metal Stirrer, NUDE Hepburn Cocktail Shaker, and NUDE Hepburn Alchemy Glass are all part of the same series, so they can be used as the need arises and also look fabulous displayed on your home bar in readiness for your next cocktail party or soiree!
