America’s Glassmaker since 1818, Libbey Foodservice debuts new glassware and a barware guide to help operators take presentations to new heights. Taking its mastery of glass to a new level, the company has developed new glassware offerings that elevate presentations of signature spirits from whiskey, artisan liquor and cocktails with fresh ingredients. These include the Aruba Collection, the Samba Collection and the Optiva Collection. In addition to such offerings, Libbey has created a resource guide to help bartenders select the right glass for the right beverage. “At Drumbar, we run a very innovative cocktail program with about 45 different cocktails on our menu,” said Alex Renshaw, head bartender and beverage director at Drumbar in Chicago. “A lot of it has to do with glassware. The right glass really helps to highlight new trends.” Selecting the right glass for the right spirit isn’t always as clear as pairing the right stemware to a varietal of wine. To help make glassware selection easier, Libbey’s new Glass Master™ Bartender’s Guide offers expert insights guiding the choice of glass that brings out the full flavor and aroma for the signature cocktails and spirits, wine and beer being served. “Inspiration for a signature drink menu naturally extends to beverage presentation,” said Susan J. Dountas, director of foodservice marketing for Libbey. “The design and shape of the glass is key in creating a signature drink that appeals to all of the senses.” To view the Guide please visit the link above (then click the icon marked "catalogues" to proceed with the download).
