It’s triple-walled, so ice stays cold and solid longer, and it holds up to 128 ounces. Flat sides make it easy to hold and move, while a rubber pad on the bottom prevents the bucket from sliding on a wet bar. The bucket comes in four colors, including unicorn magic, gloss turquoise, blackout, and gunmetal.

Twine Mint Julep Cup Silver

View On Amazon View On Wayfair

The mint julep is a simple cocktail to make, but having the right cup is as crucial as using a good bourbon. Traditionally, the drink is served in a silver chalice, and paying tribute to that heritage adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the ritual. Plus, feeling the chill of the drink through the metal will take the edge off a hot summer day. This one from Twine is made from brass and silver-plated, so it won’t break the bank (like solid silver would), and it holds 12 ounces, so it's great for piling in a load of crushed ice, mint, bourbon, and sugar.

Price at time of publish: $34 in silver

Material: Brass, sterling silver plating | Capacity: 12 ounces | Dimensions: 4.25 x 3.5 inches
