Going to all those expensive artisanal cocktail bars can put a huge dent on your wallet, especially with all those $15 drinks. Entertaining at home can be the next best thing, and we know a lot of you Manual readers are aspiring mixologists, and putting together the right mix of rum, lime and sugar for that perfect daiquiri, or bourbon or rye, bitters, and sugar for a delicious old fashioned, for a bunch of friends can be an ideal night. But, if you only have souvenir pint glasses or coffee mugs in which to serve your concoctions, that definitely takes the fun out of the whole idea of having a night in.

Lucky for you, designer extraordinaire David Rasmussen created barware that is stylish and suitable for all you at-home mixologists. Want to pop open that special bottle of wine? Use a pair of mid-century-inspired David Rasmussen WUD wine glasses, which are made entirely out of wood and keep your drink at the right temperature. Perfecting your martini game? After you’re done shaking or stirring it, pour it into a David Rasmussen WUD martini glass. Not only does it look good, the wood keeps your martini cooler than glass barware. Plus, it looks way cooler than your standard martini glasses in our opinion. If you need a tumbler, try the DAvid Rasmussen WUD tumbler, which combines ceramic and wood. It’s perfect for a number of drinks, or even a glass of ice-cold water to hydrate in between all those cocktails you’re making at home.

Yellowjackets season 3: Everything we know

There's still time to watch the first two seasons before season 3 comes out

Yellowjackets season 2; The group confronts their truth

Between the large variety of streaming options available to TV fans and the long wait times between new seasons, you'd be forgiven for forgetting some of the best programming on air today. Hopefully, when looking for shows that have slipped between the cracks, you take a look at Showtime's Yellowjackets. This gaudy, eye-popping drama is a mix of many different genres and capitalizes on shock value and creative storytelling techniques to craft a unique experience unlike anything else running at the moment.

The show is named after the girls' high school soccer team that the plot revolves around. The young women of the Yellowjackets are talented, ambitious, but flawed teenagers with hopes and dreams for the future. When their plane crashes in the woods during a cross-country flight to a soccer game, the obscene circumstances force many of the girls to do things they never would have imagined. In an ingenious bit of storytelling and character development, the show also bounces 25 years into the present timeline (the crash happened in 1996) to show the survivors of the crash in their early 40s in 2021. If you read Lord of the Flies at some point in school as a kid or got hooked on Lost during its 2000s heyday, you'll immediately see some parallels and shared DNA between Yellowjackets and those stories.
