But, if you only have souvenir pint glasses or coffee mugs in which to serve your concoctions, that definitely takes the fun out of the whole idea of having a night in.

Lucky for you, designer extraordinaire David Rasmussen created barware that is stylish and suitable for all you at-home mixologists. Want to pop open that special bottle of wine?
