Picks I'd stake my name on.

With the holidays coming up, now’s a good time to check your glassware and bar setup. Look for chipped, cracked, or cloudy glasses, and make sure you have the right glass for each drink. Tumblers work well for whiskey drinks, while tall glasses, champagne flutes, and daiquiri glasses give each drink a more polished look. Matching barware isn’t necessary, but it makes everything look classier and helps guests feel special. Set it up in an easy-to-reach spot with enough room for everything to flow smoothly. A little preparation now makes entertaining much easier.
