Libbey Carolina Entertaining Set: How to Use Your Pitcher and Goblets

Start with a quick wash, then plan your pour

Your Libbey Carolina Entertaining Set arrives securely packaged in a shipping box, and Libbey advises washing all pieces before first use. Once everything is clean and dry, you are ready to set up for guests. The set includes one 90-ounce glass pitcher and six 16-ounce goblets, so you can serve a group without constantly refilling.

Before you fill the pitcher, decide where it will sit. The pitcher measures 7.8 x 6.0 x 10.4 inches, and each goblet measures 3.1 x 3.1 x 7.0 inches. Leave enough room on your table or counter for the pitcher and a cluster of goblets so guests can serve themselves comfortably.

How to use the pitcher and goblets for a gathering

1. Wash before first use: Unpack the pitcher and all six goblets, then wash them before your first pour. The goblets are dishwasher safe; the pitcher is hand wash only.
2. Chill your cold beverages: The set is designed for cold drinks such as iced tea, lemonade, sangria, and water. Keep your ingredients cold before serving so the pitcher stays refreshing.
3. Fill the 90-ounce pitcher: Pour your prepared cold beverage into the pitcher. Avoid hot liquids, as the pitcher is not safe for use with hot liquids.
4. Set out the six goblets: Arrange the six 16-ounce goblets near the pitcher. Their classic shape works for both casual and formal gatherings.
5. Pour and serve: Use the pitcher's easy-pour spout to fill each goblet. The oval shape is designed for sharing a long, refreshing drink on a porch or patio.
6. Clean up after the event: Place the goblets in the dishwasher. Hand wash the pitcher separately, then dry and store both for next time.

Why the pitcher and goblets need different care

The goblets are durable and dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup after a party straightforward. The pitcher, however, is hand wash only and not safe for hot liquids. This difference matters: loading the pitcher into the dishwasher or filling it with a hot beverage can damage it. To help preserve both pieces, refer to the brand website for care and handling instructions.
