One of summer’s simple pleasures is getting to spend more time outside. Whether you have a large backyard or a tiny balcony, now is the time to make the most of it. This summer we’re committing to enjoying more meals outdoors. Food just tastes better when it’s eaten outside. Fresh air is the ultimate flavor enhancer. Drinks are more refreshing when sipped in the garden. Start a ritual of savoring your first cup of coffee on your patio in the morning. Surprise your family with an impromptu picnic in the yard. Have a campout night and roast some marshmallows over the firepit or grill. Treating yourself to a delicious al fresco meal feels like a mini-vacation, one you can take every day without leaving home.
At Unison, we’re passionate about sharing attractive and practical items that make open-air dining easy. We want you to spend more time enjoying your outdoor space this summer — preferably with a refreshing beverage in hand. This is why we’re excited to introduce you to our Dual Double Wall Tumblers and Pitcher. They’re the perfect way to pair a delicious cocktail with a captivating conversation. Pitcher cocktails allow you to relax and enjoy the moment. You can refresh drinks without making endless trips back to the kitchen.
The Dual Double Wall collection is the glassware you need for simple outdoor dining. The tumblers and pitcher are built to last and they’ll take you from season to season. Keep your drinks cool for longer in the summer or use them for coffee, cocoa, or cider in the fall and winter. So, sit back, relax, and keep reading to learn more about this exquisite glassware collection. We’ve even included a few pitcher drink recipes designed to make the most of everyone’s favorite time of year.
A Better Glass
Our Dual Double Wall Tumblers and Pitcher come to Unison from the Czech Republic. They’re manufactured by leading European glassmakers who have spent nearly 200 years perfecting their craft. Always looking to the future, these glassmakers are on the cutting edge of technology and innovation when it comes to their work. Two centuries in the business mean this glassware is truly time-tested for quality and longevity.
The Dual Double Wall collection is made from sturdy borosilicate glass. Unlike traditional glass, borosilicate is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and is less likely to shatter or break when dropped. Because of its strength and durability, this type of glass is the first choice for laboratories, restaurants, and wineries. Another great feature of this collection is the double-wall construction. This design means hot beverages will stay warm for longer and cool drinks stay chilled. With normal glassware, hot liquid can cause it to crack or become too hot to handle and iced beverages produce condensation as they warm to the temperature of the air.
This is why we love the Dual Double Wall Tumblers and Pitcher. They work like a glass within a glass. The vacuum-sealed center layer of air insulates the liquid inside the glass keeping it at your desired temperature for longer. No condensation, no cracks, no burning fingers. Available in a large and medium size, the Dual Double Wall Tumbler is perfect for everyday use. The sturdy design resists chips and scratches — plus it’s dishwasher safe. Classic clean lines and exceptionally clear glass, make this tumbler a beautiful addition to any table setting. At approximately 10 ounces, the medium tumbler is a great size for cocktails, coffee, lattes, or juice. The larger 13.5-ounce tumbler can be used for iced tea, lemonade, or as your everyday water glass.
Your Summer Superhero
The Dual Double Wall Pitcher will be the saving grace of your casual outdoor meals. Whether you’re serving water with lemon, fresh-squeezed juice, or margaritas — any beverage appears delicious in this pitcher. The easy-pour spout means there are no drips or wasted sips and the handle is designed to fit comfortably in your palm. When the temperatures start to drop, don’t forget you can serve warm drinks in this pitcher too. Save yourself time and endless trips back to the kitchen for refills by preparing your cocktail of choice by the pitcher. Nearly any drink can be scaled to pitcher size, just keep the ice separate until you’re ready to serve.
Some Of Our Favorite Pitcher Beverage Recipes
It’s not practical to make single servings of lemonade, sangria, or iced tea. Some drinks are just designed for sharing by the pitcher. So we’ve taken the guesswork out of throwing together a batch of cocktails and compiled a few recipes here. You’ll find refreshing options for summer that are perfect for warm-weather sipping. And with the Dual Double Wall collection, just because the leaves are changing color it doesn’t mean you have to go inside. We’ve also included an apple cider recipe so that you can still enjoy your outdoor space and keep warm with a classic fall favorite. Here’s to a relaxing time spent outdoors!
Apple Brandy Cocktails
If you’re looking for some inspiration for classic cocktails, check out these recipes from Rhine Hall. They’re a family-owned, small-batch distillery specializing in fruit brandies. If you find yourself in Chicago, we highly recommend a visit to their tasting room.
Vino Francesca Sangria
This recipe from Food & Wine is a simple way to elevate a bottle of rosé and turn it into an appetizing sangria. This sangria is designed to be sipped alongside a delicious meal and not overpower it.
