All the trendiest bars serve drinks in mason jars now Bob.
Some even serve them up in Jam Jars.

The young adults in my house drink cocktails/mocktails from mason jars and they even like to add one of those wee paper umbrellas.

At least they are cheaper to buy than the last recepticals of choice and they can be washed....
I no longer buy several fresh pineapples on the weekly shop !

At my daughter's house she has drinking glasses shaped like mason jars with a handle. I refuse to use them, saying "I don't drink out of a jar". (I'm cultured like Bob)
