Blade Runner fans might recognize this whiskey glass, but it isn’t a cheap reproduction. It’s made of mouth-blown crystal by the artisans at boutique Italian company, Arnolfo di Cambio—exactly like the glasses used in the film.

Tipsy glasses are kind of like the crappy clay mug you made for your parents in kindergarten, only these are designed to hold whiskey and the seller assumes people are willing to pay £65 or around $100 for a set of six.
Each glass is unique as it is allowed to be naturally deformed by gravity when hot enough to be pliable. The series is also very limited and interested customers must first inquire about availability.

Impress your friends at the bar with the whisky water trick illustrated in the video after the break.
Someone has finally come up with a really cool way to enjoy whiskey on the rocks without the normal dilution by creating this unique ice ball whiskey glass.
Simply fill the included food-safe ice ball mold with water, freeze, and let the shaped whiskey glass guide the ice ball around the bottom of the glass, chilling and unlocking the aromatics of your drink as it rolls around the glass. Due to the unique shape of the ice ball, the ice melts slower and cools your drink faster, giving you the perfect whiskey on the rocks experience.
The Roller Rock Glass measures 4” tall and 3.5” in diameter and includes one ice mold that makes 2” ice balls.

ArKay Beverages has unveiled what is being touted as the first alcohol-free whiskey in the world. Dubbed simply “ArKay”, the beverage is targeted towards people with medical conditions or religious beliefs that prohibit the consumption of alcohol.
They claim that it “tastes and looks like traditional whiskey and is suitable for drinking straight-up, on the rocks or with mixers”. Even if that was true, it just seems so, so wrong. Then again, you can chug it at parties in front of your unsuspecting friends and become a legend.
ArKay will be available starting on December 1st for $10 per liter or $4 in an aluminum can.
