YARAI Mixing Glass [UrbanBAR] 700ml

YARAI Mixing Glass [UrbanBAR] 700ml is a handmade glass mixing vessel designed for cocktails prepared using the stirring technique. The model combines glass construction with a heavyweight base, pouring spout and the distinctive YARAI geometric pattern hand-cut into the glass.

With a capacity of 700ml, it provides working space for ingredients and ice during preparation and is suitable for both professional cocktail stations and a well-equipped Home Bar.

Its appearance, inspired by classic Japanese-style mixing glasses, distinguishes it from simple glass mixing vessels, while the hand-cut pattern gives it the characteristic visual identity associated with YARAI design.

What Does YARAI Design Mean?

In barware, the name YARAI is associated with mixing glasses inspired by Japanese aesthetics and their characteristic geometric pattern, commonly recognised by its diamond-style motif.

On this UrbanBAR model, the decoration is not simply printed onto the surface. The geometric pattern is hand-cut into the glass, making it a distinctive part of the vessel itself.

The result is a Mixing Glass that combines the function of a cocktail preparation tool with a visual presentation suited to bars where the equipment remains visible on the workstation.

Handmade Glass Construction

The YARAI Mixing Glass [UrbanBAR] is handmade from soda-lime glass. Its construction is seamless, while the decorative geometric pattern is hand-cut into the glass.

These characteristics distinguish it from simple industrial mixing vessels and contribute to its classic barware appearance.

As a handmade glass product, small variations between individual pieces may occur as a natural result of the manufacturing process.

Heavyweight Base for Stability

The Mixing Glass features a heavyweight base, an important characteristic for a vessel used during stirring.

The substantial base contributes to stability on the work surface while the ingredients and ice are being stirred with a Bar Spoon.

This is particularly useful on a cocktail station where movements need to remain controlled and the vessel should stay stable throughout preparation.

Integrated Pouring Spout

The shape incorporates a pouring spout to help transfer the cocktail after the stirring process has been completed.

After mixing, a strainer can be used to retain the ice while the spout helps direct the cocktail into the selected serving glass.

What Is a Mixing Glass?

A Mixing Glass is a bar tool used to prepare cocktails by mixing ingredients with ice.

This preparation method is known as stirring. The ingredients are measured, added to the Mixing Glass together with ice and mixed using a Bar Spoon.

During the process, the drink is progressively chilled and diluted. Once the desired result has been reached, a strainer is used to separate the cocktail from the mixing ice before it is poured into the serving glass.

Which Cocktails Is It Suitable For?

The YARAI Mixing Glass is designed for cocktails whose recipes call for preparation by stirring.

Classic examples include:

• Negroni;
• Manhattan;
• Dry Martini;
• Boulevardier;
• Rob Roy;
• Martinez.

It can also be used for signature cocktails and other recipes where the ingredients are stirred with ice for controlled chilling and dilution.

How Do You Use a YARAI Mixing Glass?

1. Measure the ingredients using a jigger.
2. Add the ingredients and ice to the Mixing Glass.
3. Stir with a Bar Spoon using a smooth, controlled movement.
4. Control chilling and dilution according to the recipe.
5. Use a strainer to retain the mixing ice.
6. Pour the cocktail through the spout into the selected serving glass.

There is no universal stirring time suitable for every cocktail. The required duration depends on the recipe, the temperature of the ingredients, the type and quantity of ice and the desired level of chilling and dilution.

What Does the 700ml Capacity Mean?

700ml represents the total capacity of the Mixing Glass, not the amount of cocktail that should be prepared or served.

During preparation, a significant part of the internal volume is occupied by ice. The remaining space is required for the ingredients and for the movement of the Bar Spoon during stirring.

For this reason, the 700ml capacity should not be associated with a fixed number of cocktails. The amount that can be prepared at one time depends on the recipe, serving size and quantity of ice used.

Mixing Glass or Cocktail Shaker?

A Mixing Glass and a cocktail shaker are tools used for different preparation techniques.

In a Mixing Glass, ingredients are stirred with ice using a Bar Spoon. In a shaker, ingredients are combined through shaking.

Cocktails such as the Martini, Manhattan, Negroni or Boulevardier are well-known examples of drinks that can be prepared by stirring. Many recipes containing citrus juice or other ingredients requiring more vigorous integration are associated with the shaking technique.

The choice between a Mixing Glass and a shaker should therefore be based on the recipe and the required preparation technique.

Which Bar Tools Are Used with a Mixing Glass?

For a complete stirring setup, the YARAI Mixing Glass can be used together with:

• Jigger – for measuring ingredients;
• Bar Spoon – for stirring ingredients with ice;
• Strainer – for separating the cocktail from the mixing ice;
• Ice – for chilling and dilution;
• Serving glass – selected according to the cocktail.

The type of strainer and other accessories should be selected according to the preparation method and the cocktail recipe.

YARAI for Cocktail Bars, HoReCa and Home Bars

The YARAI Mixing Glass [UrbanBAR] is suitable for cocktail bars, restaurants, hotels and other HoReCa venues where stirred cocktails are part of the drinks menu.

Its geometric hand-cut pattern also makes it an attractive choice for open bar stations where the tools used for cocktail preparation remain visible to guests.

It is equally suitable for a well-equipped Home Bar, particularly for anyone looking to move from improvised containers or simple glasses to a dedicated Mixing Glass for cocktail preparation.

Cleaning and Care

Hand wash only. Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended for this model.

To protect the glass surface and the hand-cut pattern, avoid abrasive sponges and objects that may cause scratching.

As this is a glass product, it should be handled and stored carefully to reduce the risk of impact, chipping or breakage.
