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.

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!”
