America’s Test Kitchen and cocktails? You bet. This handsome set features everything you need to serve up the best-ever cocktails, from essential classics to brand-new test kitchen creations.

America’s Test Kitchen Etched Rocks Glasses

Set of Two

Also called old-fashioned glasses, these rocks glasses are essential for countless stirred or shaken cocktails usually served over ice. These short, thick-walled glasses allow room for chunky ice cubes and help insulate your cocktails served on the rocks.

Dimensions: 11 oz capacity, 3 in diameter, 3½ in height
Material: Etched Glass
Dishwasher-Safe: Yes

America’s Test Kitchen Engraved Bar Spoon

A long twizzle-handled stainless-steel bar spoon is essential to achieve maximum chilling with minimal dilution when stirring drinks with ice. Unlike, say, stirring a cup of coffee, applying some technique when stirring cocktails leads to better-tasting drinks. The elegantly twizzled long-handled bar spoon looks dramatic, but it allows you to stir cocktails efficiently with a few flicks of your wrist.

America’s Test Kitchen Cocktail Picks

Set of Four

When it comes to making cocktails at home, garnishes are often overlooked, skimped on, or simply skipped altogether. But cocktail garnishes should never be an afterthought, because they contribute far more than just decoration to a drink. Cocktail picks allow you to enjoy your garnishes without having to fish them out with your fingers. This set of four cocktail picks featuring a different engraved glassware choice on each pick does double duty, as a stylish garnish spear and “this cute design is mine” drink identifier.

Dimensions: 4 in length, ¾ in width

Top tips for transcendent cocktails


Chill Your Glassware

Chilling your serving glasses, which takes only a few minutes, ensures that all that frosty goodness you’ve carefully created in the cocktail shaker or mixing glass won’t be lost by pouring your cocktail into a room-temperature glass.

It's All About the Technique

With a little practice, you can learn to keep the outer curved side of the spoon against the wall of the glass so the spoon glides around magically, almost of its own accord.

The Garnish Is Not and Afterthought

The next time you want to add a citrus twist, olive, cherry, onion, or other garnish to a drink, use a pick and get a little creative. We made accordion folds with lemon twists and even tied them in a little knot before spearing them. Think of the pick and garnish as signature bling for your cocktail.
