This weekend's purchases

This weekend I purchased some cocktail glasses and other cocktail bits. The first set, sold by The Boston Shaker, I bought at Grand:
(From left to right: Regan's Orange Bitters No, 6 (5 oz.), 5 oz. cocktail glass, footed rocks glass, 16 oz. mixing glass. Not pictured is LUPEC's Little Black Book of Cocktails.)

Surprisingly, Crate & Barrel had some nice glasses:
(Dizzy cocktail 8 oz, Dart shot 2 oz and on clearance for 50 cents, Lars highball 15 oz.)

I haven't used the bitters yet, but it smells nice. Perhaps later in the week I'll make a cocktail using the Regan's.

Oh, and in addition to cocktail glasses and bitters, Boston Shaker is also selling cocktail books, but not really contemporary ones. Instead, you pick up a copy of an old time cocktail book such as Harry Johnson's Bartenders' Manual from 1934.
