Magisso Ceramics Chill Wine with Water
Magisso’s New White Line Cooling Ceramics collection will perfectly match any gathering. No ice cubes or freezer needed to keep your favorite wines, food and beverages deliciously chilled until your entertainment is complete. Just soak the ceramics under water for 60 seconds to start the cooling effect – you will feel the cool surface begin to cool down soon after soaking them. The cooling effect will last for hours. For those special occasions, when you need a creative message, decorate the ceramics with chalk.
Booze Joulies Chill Drinks Without Diluting Them
Dave Petrillo and Dave Jackson, creators of Coffee Joulies, have released a new product called Booze Joulies that keeps alcohol cold without watering it down. “Just a couple Booze Joulies in a glass of room temperature scotch, for instance, will provide a medium chill without the flavors becoming muted,” said Petrillo. “I personally use Booze Joulies in my bourbon to keep it cool and refreshing.”
With Coffee Joulies, it was only possible to keep a drink at a hot temperature. But with the introduction of Booze Joulies, it’s now possible to keep any drink cold as well! They even share a very similar design, as they are both made of stainless steel shells that allow them to be durable
enough to last a lifetime.
Preparing Booze Joulies is as simple as putting them in the freezer, as the proprietary blend of food-grade liquids inside quickly freeze below the freezing point of water and make them colder than ice. Because these liquids are non-toxic, Booze Joulies are a completely safe product. After a few hours, they will be ready for use. A set of six Booze Joulies costs $29.95 and comes with its own unique carrying pouch. While
they are intended to work in alcoholic beverages, they can be used in any drink imaginable. Only two or three Booze Joulies are needed inside a glass or a shaker to keep a drink at the perfect temperature. Once they’re in use, they will not dilute a beverage, making them more efficient than ice cubes.
Coffee Joulies, created by Dave Petrillo and Dave Jackson, launched on Kickstarter in 2011 as a widely successful crowdfunding campaign that reached over 32 times of its starting goal. Since then, Coffee Joulies has won the grand prize of Shopify’s Build-a-Business Contest and has been
featured on Popular Science, Wired, The New York Times, FOX News, and ABC’s Shark Tank.
Fortessa: Raising the Bar on Barware
Charles Joly, a James Beard Award winner and the only American to ever win the Diageo World Class Bartender of the Year, has collaborated with Fortessa Tableware Solutions, an industry leading designer and manufacturer of tableware, to create Crafthouse by Fortessa – the new bar collection that will raise home mixology to the highest level of professional-made craft cocktails.
Visit Fortessa Tableware Solutions at booth #S1462.
Crafthouse by Fortessa includes the bar tools and drinkware needed to give life to those special concoctions that have made the craft cocktail scene so current and exciting.
To create this unique bar collection, Fortessa partnered with Joly from the outset. The selection of tools and drinkware, along with the design specifications of each piece, were done with direct input from Joly, drawing on his years of professional experience and uncompromising dedication to his craft. The result is equal parts function and fashion; a comprehensive, authentic bar collection designed and endorsed by Charles Joly. For the first time ever, Joly is putting his name on a line of barware that will unify his world-class bartending ethos with the tools to bring the aspiring home bartender to life.
Whether you’re muddling mint for a Prospector’s Smash or giving a confident shake to a classic Bond-style Martini, Crafthouse by Fortessa has the right tools for the job. Classic design cues echo the age of art deco, where every piece is elegantly sculpted and expressly functional.
The collection also includes a complete glassware offering with Crafthouse by Schott Zwiesel. This is one of the only comprehensive, barware and bar tools programs in the market. The authoritative position Joly brings to the collection. Classic bar glasses, from glassware innovator Schott Zwiesel, feel solid to the touch and imbue each drink with an incomparable sense of style. With Crafthouse by Fortessa, that Mint Julep is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. That Old Fashioned will make everyone shout, “Cheers!”

Peugeot Caters to Whisky Aficionados With Innovative Whisky Set
The new Peugeot Whisky Set – with a uniquely shaped glass, metal chilling base and leatherette coaster – was specially designed to bring out the best in whiskeys and spirits such as Cognac and Armagnac. Whether your whisky of choice is light and floral, fruity and spicy, rich and rounded, or full bodied and smoky, the Peugeot Whisky Set will reveal its subtleties and aromas for an utterly indulgent tasting.
First introduced in France in late 2015, and now available for shipping in the US, the Peugeot Whisky Set won the Table Top and Gift Grand Prix at the 2015 Maison & Objet in Paris.
The mouth-blown glass is tapered, with a narrow top for properly nosing the whisky before sipping. The wide bowl of the glass is enhanced with a central dome. When whisky is poured into the glass, it forms a circle around this dome, preventing the elevation of overpowering alcohol vapors to the nose to enhance the purity of the experience.
The metal chilling base cools the spirit for at least 30 minutes, without the use of ice and without a temperature shock that would inhibit the release of the scents. Chilling can add a refreshing quality while revealing the complexity of delicate flavor notes. Simply place the metal base in the freezer two or more hours before use for a refreshingly cool taste experience, or leave the base at room temperature if you prefer your whisky neat and unchilled.
The handsome black leatherette coaster completes the set, which would make a welcome gift for anyone who appreciates whisky or spirits.
The Peugeot Whisky Set comes in an attractive, protective cylindrical cardstock box with metal caps, with a suggested retail price of $40. A replacement glass, without the chilling base and coaster, will be sold for $25. The Whiskey Set is available for immediate shipment.
The Peugeot line – which includes pepper, salt and spice mills as well as wine, whiskey and spirits accessories – is inspired by a passion for flavor and the gourmet experience.

Diamond- & Sphere-Shaped Ice Blocks: Cool Shapes that Cool Drinks Fast
The hottest new gadget to cool beverages is the “ice block” mold from Lékué that freezes individual, oversized ice cubes.
Lékué presents two ice block shapes: a diamond and a sphere. Made of platinum silicone, the sphere ice block mold looks like a golf ball. The frozen sphere, when unmolded, maintains the dimpled texture of a real golf ball. The diamond-shaped ice block adds a little glamour to a cocktail or mocktail. Both ice blocks drop the temperature of a cocktail in seconds.
The molds can even be filled with flavored waters and herbs to spice up beverages, and the leak-proof stopper prevents contents from spilling in the freezer.
The leak-proof stopper on the mold prevents contents from spilling in the freezer. The ice block molds retail for $9 for one or $15 for a set of two.
