Libbey Raises the Bar for Impeccable Bar Experiences with Masteras Reserve

Inspired by those who craft exceptional beverages

With 29 percent of guests choosing restaurants based on their specialty drink menus (NPD Group, 2015), an adventurous and passionate cocktail culture has emerged. Mixologists, cicerones and sommeliers have responded, delivering diverse beverage menus. With endless cocktail possibilities, these beverage experts are challenged to transform everyday tumblers of bourbon into artful cocktails, commanding top-shelf prices.

Understanding this spirited cocktail culture, Libbey’s master glassmakers asked one profound question, “What if we could create a glass as stunning, enduring and inspired as the drinks imagined by signature cocktail masters?”
