Utensils, glasses, and equipment used in a bar for making, serving, and drinking cocktails and other beverages.
Compound word: 'bar' (establishment serving drinks) + 'ware' (goods/equipment). Emerged in the 20th century as cocktail culture became sophisticated and required specialized tools.
Professional barware includes items like muddlers, jiggers, and Boston shakers—each tool has a specific purpose that master bartenders spend years perfecting, much like a surgeon's instruments!
