Riedel Mixing Aperitivo Set 5260/51 - 4 pcs.

Aperitivo hour is as much about the ritual as the drink itself, stirring, serving, and toasting right at the table. Riedel Mixing Aperitivo Set is designed for exactly that atmosphere, where the cocktail is made in company rather than behind a bar.

The Expert’s Description

Riedel Mixing Aperitivo Set is a cocktail set from the Mixing series by the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, made from machine-blown crystal glass and designed for stirring and serving aperitivo-style cocktails right at the table.

The Mixing series is Riedel's take on glassware that moves the making of the cocktail away from the bar and out to the guests, where the drink is stirred and poured in front of them rather than arriving pre-mixed. This set is one of three Mixing sets in Riedel's range, alongside Mixing Spritz and Mixing Rum, found in our range of Riedel Glass.

Design & Material

The set is built around a tall 261 mm mixing vessel, where the cocktail is stirred with ice before being poured. The crystal glass is machine-blown, giving a thin-walled, light set that still feels solid to handle at the table.

Use & Recommendation

Mixing Aperitivo is designed for stirring and serving Italian-inspired aperitivo cocktails at the table, where guests can watch the process. The set is dishwasher safe and can go straight from the table to the dishwasher.
