All About the Office Bar
Michael Young collection

Since we at UJ recently moved into an office avec built-in bar, it's official: fun is where the office is.

Forget free-brekkies or table tennis, indoor astro turf, or god forbid, mini golf. Now, it's all about the office bar.

If you can't pick up sticks, and move your HQ, however, never fear, as the bar, of course, is not the necessary factor here. The success is all about the wares, as it's no use sourcing your spirit from half way around the world if you're going to expect someone to drink it out of a plastic beaker.

No, if you want to entertain, you're going to have to invest in a few new accoutrements.

If you need a bit of inspiration and have some cash to flash, then check out the Schweppes/Michael Young collaboration. The glasses are seriously sleek, the swizzel sticks chic, and even the ice-bucket looks chisseled.

And as 'Sir' Ben Reed consulted on them, it's safe to say they weren't made for White Lightening.

So get practising. Pint at the pub on Friday's is no longer going to do. Now it's all about the desk bound cocktail.

Michael Young Barware collection now available at Selfridges. There are free cocktails to be savoured, too, at Oxford St branch until November 19.
