Schweppes Designer Barware

British designer Michael Young and Schweppes have collaborated to produce new limited edition premium barware. Consisting of curved glasses, ice bucket, tongs, ice trays and swizzle sticks/muddlers, only 250 sets were produced, exclusively on sale through Selfridges. The intention is to inspire "ordinary people to learn how to make and enjoy better drinks at home." Consultant mixologists provided industry expertise for the project. A number of insights have inspired the design of this functional barware. For example, thicker glass bases ensure that a drinks trays cooler for longer, and a drainage tray delays melting of ice in the ice bucket.
