Highball Bar Set with Ice Bucket and Hammered Tongs, Mid-century

Gorgeous mid-century bar set with six highball glasses and a matching ice bucket with tongs.

Gold and white geometric pattern on clear glass.  Ice tongs are a silvery/goldish tone.

Each glass measures approximately 5 5/8" tall with a 2 3/4" diameter and capacity just over 10 ounces.  The ice bucket measures approximately 5" tall with a diameter of 5 3/4" and the hammered metal tongs are 6 7/8" long.

A highball is a drink that consists of a small quantity of a spirit mixed with a larger quantity of a mixer and ice, served in a tall glass.  A set like this would have found its place in many home bars across mid-century America, perfect for entertaining family, neighbors, and clients alike.

Revive the civilized practice of serving a classic highball at home:

Classic Highball

2 ounces liquor

4 ounces club soda

ice and citrus for garnish

Fill the highball glass with ice cubes.  Pour chosen liquor over ice.  Hold the glass at a slight angle and slowly pour the club soda to fill.  There is no need to stir.  Garnish with citrus of choice if desired.  Cheers!
