Something to keep your whiskey cold...
However, be careful they don't scratch up your glasses. These soapstone cubes are made in Colorado.
The perfect bar knife...
Use the flat edge of this knife as a bench scraper to clean counters, use the tip to remove fruit seeds, and the squared end and blade to form perfect citrus twists.
This tool is made of High carbon stainless steel blade, cocobolo wood, and brass rivets.
The most beautiful beer bottle opener...
This brass crescent, made in Japan, opens bottles easily with just a twist of the wrist.
Brass crescent bottle opener: $65
Or a magnetic one...
Stick the opener on a wall, pop off the bottle top, and watch the magnet catch the cap.
The Birch wood and stainless steel magnet can hold up to 60 caps at a time.
A sleek, long-lasting corkscrew...
But this Laguiole corkscrew will get the job done.
Fun fact: Laguiole is a town in southern France renowned for its knife-making skills, so you know this is made by the experts.
This item is made of stainless steel with a bamboo handle.
A grown-up ice cube tray...
Instead, get yourself this old-school stainless steel tray that's both modern looking and functional.
Stainless steel ice cube tray: $30
Something fun to stir your drinks with...
Each assortment comes with 10 animals, including a giraffe, lion, cheetah, zebra.
You can choose yellow or clear stems.
