Inspired by the golden age of drinking (or, if we're being honest, day drinking), our Madison Box—a collaboration with the drinkware geniuses at Ethan+Ashe—comes complete with mid-century vibes abound. It's what we imagine an ad exec would have curated for their corner office—deeply welled glasses with chromed-out rimmed tops, an ice bucket to match, two acacia wood coasters, and a citrus peeler for that finishing touch. Better yet, both the glasses and the ice bucket were designed by Ethan+Ashe exclusively for Bespoke Post.

Enter Barlow and Hallie of The Weekend Mixologist. On their Instagram account, the duo focuses on elevating classic and modern cocktails with quality ingredients, hand cut clear ice, colorful garnishes and a dash of weekend vibes. This made them the perfect team to take Madison for a spin. Here's what they had to say after making a few cocktails with the box.

On Their First Impression:

"I love the matching set, glassware shape and cohesive design. At my home bar, I love combining different materials and textures that work well together. Such as my wooden black acacia bar top, alongside an elegant glass with a metallic rim. This set plays off of that same combination nicely. The elegant glassware shape, metallic edge, and natural wood coasters. The set is photo ready!"

On Their Favorite Features:

"When I'm behind the bar, I appreciate a tool set with great form and function. Oftentimes I find myself gravitating towards a beautiful set, but it lets me down with how poorly it functions. This set has everything I look for in a quality ice bucket. The tongs have a great grip, and the bucket holds a good amount and keeps the ice from melting too quickly. All while having a stylish look."

On When They'd Use It Most:

"This set is made for a classy and fun evening entertaining friends or for showing off some mixology skills on a date. Possibly some fresh sparkling gin and tonics before a meal, and a stirred old fashioned with a twist for a nightcap."

On What They Love Aesthetically:

"First off, it's the simple and elegant shapes that make the whole set. Next, it's the glass, chrome, and wooden materials that aesthetically work so well together. The set's style makes you want to throw on a blazer and mix up a classic cocktail!"

On What They'd Tell a Friend About It:

"I'd recommend the set to any friend who loves a well made drink and is looking to elevate the style of their home bar. I'd speak to its elegant style, classic look, and how the tools function well. This set might just inspire them to learn a few new classic recipes!"

On What They Love the Most:

"It's very giftable—great for any friend or family member who loves to mix a quality drink. I also love how it photographs beautifully and elevates the look of any home bar."
