'Cocktails! Key West' is a specialty glassware boutique located in the southernmost city of the United States that sells hip, contemporary cocktail designs. According to its slogan the shop is "Celebrating the Art of the Drink," which anyone shopping in this unique shop would surely agree with as most of the selection in the store is designed by local artist Kent J. Henry.
Martini, beer, wine, mojito, margarita, champagne and shot glasses featuring custom hand painted, etched, oversized or monogrammed designs are all key products you’ll find in this drink-lover’s paradise. My favorite glass collection of the many ultra-cool selections to choose from would have to be the bold Zipper Collection, which is made is the USA and showcases either a silver or gold zipper embellishment on the face of the glass being unzipped to reveal the beverage within.
Other items that can be purchased in-store include artistic martini shakers, decanters, ice buckets and much more. Most items in this bar boutique can be purchased for less than $40.00 US, and make great gifts for those who are tricky to shop for. There is even a wedding collection of stemware tailored to newly engaged or married couples. So when shopping for that next hostess gift, instead of going straight to the liquor store, pick up an accessory from Cocktails! Key West for a bar addition that is just as fun to receive and a lot more original.
