UD | This Ends with You and a Martini

If you have trouble reading this email, go to the online version 12/02/13   Bar Sighted Five Things Every Home Bar Needs If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself. Especially when that thing is a 14-olive martini. Below: everything you need to put together a respectable home bar. You know, minus the booze.     SAW THE SIGN Vintage Beer Signs. Lots of Them.   A home bar without a vintage beer sign is... well, still a bar. It’s just not nearly as good-looking as it would be if it were adorned with some 1940s Pabst signage or an old Budweiser billiards lamp. Both are included in this brew-themed antiques auction. Go easy on the neon.   411: Vintage Beer Signs Auction, deck the halls here     DECANT TOUCH THIS Where to Keep the Good Stuff   You know that single malt you’ve been saving for that special occasion? Here’s what you’ll keep it in: a spherical glass decanter with a stopper made of solid brass. And sure, you’re not supposed to drink straight from the decanter, but...   411: Edgar Brass Cube Stopper Decanter, pour carefully here     THE ICE PICK COMETH Now That’s an Ice Pick   Getting your ice right is paramount to good barmanship. Which means it’s essential that you have this Japanese-made, mahogany-handled heavyweight ice pick that’s shaped like an anvil on top and a really sharp thing on the bottom. Watch your fingers.   411: Yamachu Anvil Ice Pick, chip away here     TOOL TIME Bar Tools from a Legendary Mixologist   Meet Tony Abou-Ganim. He’s Steve Wynn’s right-hand mixology man. He’s kind of a big deal. He also just made a bar-tool set that you should probably pick up. It comes with a shaker, two strainers and a cherrywood muddler—along with a few other necessities. Surprisingly, that doesn’t include a Rollie Fingers mustache.   411: Modern Mixologist Complete Bar-Tool Set, shake things up here     HOLD IT NOW The Proper Drinking Vessels   Oh, right—you’ll need something to actually consume beverages. Something regal. Something with history. Something like these handcrafted 100% copper flasks, shot glasses and beer steins made exactly as they were 190 years ago. And hey, you can now get those at 30% off thanks to UD Perks. You’ll drink to that.   411: 30% Off Jacob Bromwell via UD Perks, raise a glass here Sonos. You know them.
