Burke 28 oz Lead-Free Crystal Cocktail Mixing Glass by Viski | Barsonist

For the home bartender who is serious about stirred cocktails, the Burke mixing glass gives you the volume, stability, and clarity to work at a professional pace without compromise.

Construction

Blown from lead-free crystal, the Burke is built with a thickset weighted base that stays planted on the bar surface even when you are stirring hard through a dense batch of ice. The walls are thick enough to resist thermal shock but clear enough to let you watch the dilution happen in real time. Hand-etched geometric detailing wraps the body, giving your grip a natural register point while adding visual weight that feels deliberate rather than decorative. At 28 ounces, this glass holds comfortably between four and five cocktails in a single batch, which is exactly the capacity a busy host needs when friends are waiting.

Performance

The precision pour spout channels liquid cleanly toward your strainer without drips or directional inconsistency, which matters when you are working fast and pouring into chilled coupe glasses. The wide mouth accepts a standard bar spoon with room to stir in smooth, low-resistance circles. Because the base does not shift, you can apply real downward pressure through the spoon without chasing the glass across your countertop. Batch a Negroni, a Manhattan, or a stirred Martini in the same vessel you would see used at a serious cocktail bar.

Who This Is For

The Burke is suited to anyone who entertains more than occasionally and wants to stop making one drink at a time. It pairs directly with Viski professional bar spoons and Hawthorne strainers, so if you are building out a matching kit this is a logical anchor piece. It is equally at home in a dedicated home bar setup as it is pulled out for a dinner party where you want to pre-batch stirred drinks before guests arrive. Crystal clarity means it also presents well on the bar surface during service rather than being tucked away.

Commonly Asked
