The Tiffany mixing tin in two lines
The Tiffany mixing tin is The Bars Iron Glass in the Tiffany finish: a 600ml stirring vessel in AISI 304 stainless steel, double-walled, with a diamond pattern on the body and a pouring lip. Aqua green outside, steel inside. It is the same piece as the polished Iron Mixing Tin, in the colour of the Tiffany collection.
Who it is for
For the bartender making stirred drinks, the Negroni, the Manhattan, the Martini, the Old Fashioned, who wants a mixing glass that will not break. Glass at the bar has two faults: it gets dropped and chips, and it lets the cold escape through its walls. Double-walled steel has neither. And the colour matters to a venue with a look of its own, because the mixing tin is in front of the guest for the whole stir, a good thirty seconds per drink.
The double wall of the Tiffany mixing tin, and what it changes in the stir
There is a gap between the two walls. The cold of the ice stays in and the warmth of the hand stays out, so dilution depends on stirring time and not on how long the bartender holds the vessel. That is what makes a Martini repeatable: same seconds, same dilution, same drink on the first and the tenth round. The outer wall does not frost, and the colour stays clean even with ice to the rim.
Six hundred millilitres takes two stirred drinks together with ice, the size for a double order. The lip lets you pour with a julep strainer or a Hawthorne on the rim, without dripping on the bar top.

Stirring in the Tiffany mixing tin, step by step
Fill the Tiffany mixing tin three quarters with ice, pour in the ingredients, and stir with the bar spoon, keeping the back of the spoon against the wall. Twenty or thirty turns are enough for a Negroni, a few more for a dry Martini. Then the strainer on the rim, and pour from the lip into the chilled glass. With the double wall the hand stays dry and the vessel does not slip.
One colour across the bar
The Bars Tiffany finish is not a one-off: the same shade covers the Iron jigger, the Hawthorne strainer, the bar spoons, the bottle opener and the Japanese jigger. A venue opening with a signature colour can put a whole station in the same finish at the bar, and find the same piece in the catalogue eight months later. The colour is a coating on the outer wall: treat it with a soft cloth, not a scourer.
Choose the Tiffany mixing tin if
If you want a mixing glass that does not break, holds the cold and brings colour. If you prefer mirror-polished metal, take the polished Iron Mixing Tin, same body and same capacity. If you want clear glass so the drink can be seen while you stir, see the rest of the mixing glass category.
Care
Hot water, neutral detergent, a soft cloth, and dry it upside down. The maker does not declare the coloured finish dishwasher safe: washed by hand, the colour lasts as long as the steel.
