Handcrafted Wine Glasses for The Federalist
Here at Glassblowerben, we are very proud to announce the launch of a new product to add to our growing collection of custom, handblown bar glasses: handcrafted wine glasses for The Federalist, an American-made craft wine company. These glasses were created after the forming of a special partnership between our two companies and they are only available through The Federalist.
About The Federalist
The Idea
The Federalist creates a bold craft wine product that is the culmination of years of development. Their collection is a distinctly American union of wines that break free from wine tradition in the pursuit of perfection. The Federalist’s founders were inspired by the ideal, “Whatever I’m drinking should taste good, dammit,” and their wine lives up to the phrase.
The result is a line of distinctly American craft wines with all of the bold spirit and unwavering character of the revolutionary American icons that adorn every bottle. With its origin arising from the “virtues of every forward-thinking, hard-working, red-blooded American,” this is American Craft Wine at its finest -- bold, original, and revolutionary.
The Barrels
Made from 100-year-old oak and old school friction fit iron hoops, the barrels used in production are every bit as special as the wine that’s made in them. Without these nuances of oak and iron, the end product probably wouldn’t taste so damn good.
The Bottles
The Federalist’s bottles are carefully crafted with every detail in mind to capture the beautiful essence of flavor and forward thinking of the wines contained within them. From the curve of the bottle’s neck to the display of revered American revolutionaries spread across the outside, the thought, care, and beauty put into the design ensures a perfect drinking experience and is entirely emblematic of the quality and craftsmanship that goes into the wines within.
The Glasses
No great craft wine can be complete without excellently custom, handcrafted wine glasses to go with it. As a proud product of our very own Ben Dombey, these gorgeous glasses are the epitome of simple, functional yet beautiful design and are expertly crafted with one purpose in mind: The Federalist and the great American spirit it represents.
We too represent that proud American artistic spirit in our own craft. Glassblowing is a proudly individualistic art that strikes at the heart of what this wine is all about. Hard work, dedication, and a commitment to unrivaled excellence are all hallmarks of this lost art, and we are honored to be able to make our own contribution to this “spirited” celebration of American greatness.
As an expertly handcrafted vessel, our hand blown wine glasses are also a testament to American ingenuity and the roughly refined tastes of our people. Our glasses’ gorgeous design serves as the perfect container to get the most in taste and enjoyment out of any wine you drink. Try these glasses with your next vino and we think you’ll agree. This is one practical piece of art that will make you proud to drink your wine -- and we can certainly all toast to that! Although The Federalist wine glasses are a special collection only available through The Federalist, you can shop for a wide selection of custom, handcrafted cocktail glasses in the GlassblowerBen store.

Slanted Whiskey Glasses: How to Spruce Up Your Collection
Slanted drinking glasses are statements in the kitchen. Your standard drinking glass stands tall and cylindrical, but slanted drinking glasses add a whole new dimension to your cocktails. Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or formal affair, slanted drinking glasses are a great way to bring attention to the cocktails you’re serving up.
Handmade Slanted Whiskey Glasses
GlassblowerBen has mastered the art of making slanted drinking glasses. Glassblowing has been around since the 1st century BC, but not many people today have hand-blown glasses using traditional techniques. Whether standard or well-designed glasses, a lot of drinking glasses on the market are massed produced.
Get your Slant On
Ben Dombey, the face behind GlassblowerBen, puts careful attention into every slanted glass he constructs. Each one has a flat bottom but slants at a 45-degree angle. They’re large enough to fit an 6 oz drink, but 8 oz can work if you want it to. Moreover, he’s been able to harness his creativity and make unique slanted drinking glasses that can even be customized with a stamp. Whether you prefer to mark a symbol of the great City of New Orleans or a personal phrase or set of initials, GlassblowerBen can customize a pair or several for you.
These slanted drinking glasses can amp up the aesthetic of all your drinks. From a classic cocktail to an elaborate mixed drink, slanted drinking glasses will make everyone take a second look. Learn more about stocking your bar and mixing like a pro.
Order Your Own Slanted Drinking Glasses
Whether you want just a pair for a power duo to use or enough to serve up an entire party, you should order your slanted drinking glasses from GlassblowerBen today! Check out his Handmade Slanted Bar Glass and all the possibilities for customization in his store. Feel free to contact GlassblowerBen if you have any questions about ordering your very own slanted drinking glasses!

4th of July Drinks For You and Your Crew
Our nation’s birthday is a great reason to celebrate. Whether you’re off to the beach, a backyard barbeque, or rooftop fireworks viewing, your 4th of July drinks need to be perfect.
Must-Have 4th of July Drinks
With everybody in the mood to raise a glass to the US of A, here are a few red, white, and blue 4th of July drinks you can throw together.
Watermelon Margaritas
Every kid on the 4th of July looks forward to the watermelon, and with this recipe, the adults can too! Watermelon margaritas require a little love in their multi-step preparation, but the result is a refreshing drink that is bound to be a hit. Check out the full recipe here, and don’t be afraid to pair the margaritas with a little bit of fresh fruit too.
Piña Colada
Who doesn’t love a tropical piña colada on a hot summer's’ day? Or maybe the rain hits you and you just need a reminder of a day on the beach. No matter how or where you’re celebrating with your 4th of July drinks, a few piña coladas for you and your friends can go a long way. Follow the recipe closely to ensure the perfect ratio of ice, juice, and booze. If you really want to emphasize your summer escape, get some tropical umbrellas or maraschino cherries to throw on the glass.
Mermaid Lemonade
This recipe uses Blue Curacao to create a refreshing spiked lemonade that takes no time to put together, so you can keep on pushing it out! The distinct blue color will stand out and have you thinking of the ocean, even in the most remote backyards. You can put it together in large batches if you wish, and add a festive flare with some American flag skewers to finish the drink off.
Supplies You Need for Your 4th of July Drinks
So you might have all the booze and rimmers for your 4th of July drinks, but you’ll need some nice glassware next to serve it all up!
Mixing Pitcher
When you’ve got a lot of people to serve, you need a large mixing pitcher to get everything together. GlassblowerBen’s Mixing Pitcher comes with a matching mixing stick to easily stir and keep stirring your favorite homemade cocktails. Each one can be customized when you order, so you can show off your patriotism with a “USA” if you’d like (but your last name, nickname, and so many other custom words work, too).
