When Less Means Exactly What You Need

A stirred cocktail doesn't need unnecessary spectacle. Ice, accurately measured ingredients, a Bar Spoon and a steady movement. The temperature gradually drops, dilution develops under control, and a few simple ingredients begin to work together as one.

Mr SLIM ORIGINAL Metal Mixing Glass - 580ml seems to follow the same philosophy. It doesn't try to attract attention with elaborate decoration. The shape is clean, the material is functional and every element has a clear purpose.

Made in Japan, Mr SLIM is a metal interpretation of the classic Mixing Glass: a professional tool for bartenders who appreciate precision, simplicity and thoughtfully designed equipment.

Why Choose a Metal Mixing Glass?

When we think of a Mixing Glass, glass is usually the first material that comes to mind. It is transparent, elegant and allows you to watch the ice and cocktail throughout preparation.

Metal offers a different experience.

The most obvious practical advantage is simple: a stainless steel body does not carry the breakage risk associated with a glass Mixing Glass.

In a professional bar, where tools are moved, used, washed and returned to the station repeatedly throughout a service, that difference can matter.

The visual experience changes as well. In a transparent Mixing Glass, you watch the cocktail. With Mr SLIM, the liquid remains hidden and attention shifts towards the movement of the Bar Spoon and the bartender's technique.

It isn't necessarily better than glass. It is simply a different interpretation of the same professional bar tool.

580ml – Compact, with Room for Stirring

The capacity of a Mixing Glass should not be interpreted as the amount of cocktail you are going to prepare. A considerable part of the vessel will be occupied by ice, while the Bar Spoon needs enough room to move naturally around it.

With a capacity of 580ml, Mr SLIM sits in a more compact category than large 700–800ml Mixing Glasses.

This format can be particularly useful if you:

• primarily prepare individual cocktails;
• prefer a compact Mixing Glass on your bar station;
• do not need the capacity of a particularly large vessel;
• want a tool for precise, controlled stirring;
• prefer the feel and breakage resistance of metal over glass.

580ml is the total capacity of the vessel, not the recommended quantity of cocktail to prepare. The actual space available for ingredients depends on the amount and size of ice used.

A Small Detail That Matters: the Pouring Spout

Once the cocktail has reached the desired temperature and dilution, it needs to be transferred cleanly into the serving glass.

Mr SLIM features an integrated pouring spout, helping to direct the flow and provide more controlled pouring while the cocktail is being strained.

It is a simple detail, but exactly the kind of functional feature that becomes more valuable with repeated use.

What Would We Make First in Mr SLIM?

The design may be Japanese and minimalist, but the cocktails that best demonstrate its purpose include some of the great international classics.

• Dry Martini – few ingredients and very little room for imprecision;
• Manhattan – one of the classic cocktails most closely associated with stirring;
• Negroni – structurally simple, yet dependent on the balance between temperature and dilution;
• Boulevardier – bold, elegant and well suited to stirring;
• Martinez – a classic for those exploring the history of cocktail culture;
• signature cocktails – whenever the recipe calls for controlled chilling and dilution through stirring.

Metal Mr SLIM or Glass YARAI?

There is no universal answer. The two materials offer different experiences and can easily have a place together on the same professional bar station.

A glass YARAI lets you visually follow the ice, ingredients and movement of the liquid. Its decorative glass pattern is also part of the traditional aesthetic associated with this style of Mixing Glass.

Metal Mr SLIM goes in the opposite direction: minimalist appearance, concealed contents and no breakage risk associated with glass.

• Choose glass if you want transparency and the classic visual Mixing Glass experience;
• choose Mr SLIM if you prefer metal, a compact format, minimalist design and resistance to breakage.

It isn't really a competition between two tools. It is a choice between two different styles of working and presentation.

Mr SLIM or DIAMOND Metal Mixing Glass?

If you already prefer a metal Mixing Glass, the difference between these two models is mainly about character and size.

Mr SLIM 580ml follows the Japanese minimalist approach: clean surfaces, a more compact format and understated aesthetics.

DIAMOND 700ml [UrbanBAR] is larger and considerably more expressive visually, with its geometric Diamond surface. It is a tool intentionally designed to attract attention on the bar station.

• Mr SLIM: Japanese, minimalist, compact, 580ml;
• DIAMOND: decorative, visually striking, 700ml capacity.

If Mr SLIM says “precision without excess”, DIAMOND places more emphasis on presence and presentation.

Mixing Glass or Shaker?

They are not two versions of the same technique. A Mixing Glass and a shaker are used to achieve different results.

In Mr SLIM, the cocktail is mixed with ice using a Bar Spoon. Stirring allows progressive chilling and dilution while maintaining the texture associated with drinks suited to this technique.

A shaker introduces much more vigorous agitation and is commonly used when a recipe includes citrus juice, syrups or other ingredients that require more intensive integration.

The right question is therefore not “which one is better?”. The recipe and the desired result determine the appropriate technique.

Made in Japan – Part of the Mr SLIM Identity

The original product packaging identifies Mr SLIM as Made in Japan.

In this case, its origin fits naturally with the character of the product: restrained design, functional form and an absence of unnecessary decorative elements.

This isn't a Mixing Glass designed to dominate the bar visually. That discretion is precisely what gives it personality.

It is the kind of tool whose value becomes particularly clear once you start using it.

What Should You Pair It With?

For a complete stirring setup, Mr SLIM can be paired with:

• Bar Spoon – for smooth, continuous movement around the ice;
• Jigger – for accurate measurement of ingredients;
• Julep Strainer or Hawthorne Strainer – for separating the cocktail from the mixing ice;
• quality ice – important for controlling temperature and dilution;
• the appropriate cocktail glass – for final presentation.

Cleaning and Care

To help preserve the surface in good condition, we recommend hand washing.

Use water, mild liquid detergent and a soft, non-abrasive sponge or cloth.

Although stainless steel is a durable material, the surface can develop scratches through repeated contact with hard or abrasive objects or other utensils during mechanical washing.

For this reason, we do not recommend dishwasher cleaning.

After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
