Any guesses as to what we are up to this Fall? 👀

Jiggers are one of the simplest tools behind consistently great cocktails. 🍸

If accuracy and repeatability matter, a jigger is non-negotiable.
The two pictured here are both excellent options:
• Japanese Jigger (hourglass shape) – sleek, precise, and a favorite behind many craft bars.
• Graduated Jigger – measures multiple volumes and holds more liquid, which can speed up drink builds by reducing the number of pours.

Neither is better than the other—it really comes down to your workflow and personal preference. The best jigger is the one you'll reach for every time.

Let’s talk bitters. 🥃

Bitters are the spice rack of bartending. Originally created as medicinal tonics, they became a cocktail essential in the 1800s—so essential that the original cocktail was simply spirits, sugar, water, and bitters.

With thousands of varieties available, Angostura Aromatic Bitters remain the classic choice, especially in an Old Fashioned. Packed with over 40 botanicals, they add the signature depth and complexity that defines the drink.

Here's the fun part: swap the bitters, and you transform the cocktail. Experiment, mix, and discover a whole new Old Fashioned—just by changing one ingredient.

Always sustainable. Always thoughtfully sourced.

At Hive Bartending, we believe luxury doesn't have to come at the expense of our planet. Every piece of glassware in our collection is carefully sourced secondhand, giving beautiful, heirloom-quality pieces a second life instead of sending more to the landfill.

And those flimsy plastic cups? They're convenient for a moment—but they're made to be used once and thrown away, creating unnecessary waste that lasts for generations.
Your guests deserve better.

Elevate your wedding or event with real, heavy, high-quality glassware that feels as luxurious as it looks. These stunning vintage pieces are just a small glimpse of our ever-growing collection, each one adding character, elegance, and an unforgettable experience to your celebration.

When you hire Hive Bartending, you're choosing exceptional service, timeless style, and a company that's committed to reducing waste—one event at a time.

Because your guests will remember how your event felt... and real glass makes all the difference. 🥂🌿

We do NOT purchase fruit juices.
Ours are ALL fresh squeezed.
And trust us, you can taste the difference.

Another thrift score! 🥃♻️

We just added 5 of these gorgeous vintage wh***ey glasses to the Hive Bartending collection!

One thing you'll notice about our bars is that the glassware rarely matches—and that's intentional. We source as much as possible secondhand to reduce our carbon footprint here in Genesee County while giving beautiful glassware a second life.

Sustainable. Unique. Full of character. 🐝✨
