Kitchen Favorites: MerryNine Glass Drink Dispensers
These glass drink dispensers are my kitchen favorite this week, and y’all, I have given them quite the workout. I had to replace my old beverage dispensers this year, and in the last month these have been through three big get-togethers at my house. They went through their trial by fire, and they came out shining. Nobody pays me to say that. MerryNine has never contacted me, this is not sponsored, and we bought this set with our own money right off Amazon. It is the exact set you see in the video.

When I had to replace my dispensers this year, I got to pick new ones, which is always fun. My last set was plastic, and I really wanted glass this time. And when I saw these sitting on that little wooden base, I thought they were so cute and so pretty. They are simple, but nice, and they go with any style of get-together I am having, whether it is a ladies luncheon or a big, casual crowd.
They have now been to all three of my get-togethers this fall. At my ladies luncheon, they held my 2-ingredient cranberry ginger ale punch. The third one was a bigger gathering and a little more casual, so I just filled them with ice water. Either way, they looked beautiful on the table.
Why These Glass Drink Dispensers Work for a Crowd
They feel really nice in your hands. The lids come off really easily, and they wash up really well, which matters when you are cleaning up after a party. And I love the wood accent on the lids and the stand. It warms up the whole drink station.
The listing says they are borosilicate glass, which is the same kind of glass used in a lot of bakeware and measuring cups. Borosilicate glass handles sudden temperature changes better than ordinary glass, which is nice when you are pouring in juice and soda straight out of the fridge.
Here is my favorite part. Each one holds 1.1 gallons, and my punch is one 64-ounce bottle of cranberry juice and one 2-liter of ginger ale. One batch fits exactly in one dispenser. I was so happy about that. With two of them side by side, I can do punch in one and water or tea in the other, and nobody has to ask what is what, because you can see it right through the glass.
What I Put in My Glass Drink Dispensers
Drink dispensers save me money, too, because I would rather make the drinks than buy them. Here is what goes in mine:
- Cranberry Ginger Ale Punch — two ingredients, one batch per dispenser, and the prettiest red you have ever seen through glass.
- Mixed Berry Lemonade — a half gallon with no cooking required.
- Lavender Lime Tea — a pretty pitcher for a crowd, and even prettier in glass.
- Peach Mango Iced Tea — my favorite summer drink, made from scratch.
- DIY Drinks for a Crowd — three easy drinks that cost a lot less than buying them by the bottle.
And plain ice water counts, too. In a glass dispenser, even water looks like you planned it.
🦃 Hosting the whole holiday dinner?
My punch is part of The Holiday Table for 25 — my whole holiday dinner for 25: the menu, the one-oven schedule, the day-of timeline, and every recipe, so you get to sit down and eat with everybody else.
And here’s everything I use to host — the roaster, serving pieces, paper goods, and decor.
Glass Drink Dispensers FAQ
Is Stephanie paid by MerryNine?
No. MerryNine has never contacted me, and this was not a gift or a sample. We ordered this set ourselves and paid for it with our own money. If that ever changes on any product I show you, I will say so right here, first thing.
Are these the exact glass drink dispensers in the video?
They are. The box at the top of this post is the same two-pack on the wooden stand that I am holding in the video, and it is the listing we bought it from.
How much does each dispenser hold?
Each one holds 1.1 gallons, so a little more than a gallon. That is exactly one batch of my cranberry ginger ale punch, which is about 16 cups. With both of them full, you have over two gallons on the table.
Why glass instead of plastic?
My last set was plastic, and this time I really wanted glass. Glass looks so much nicer on the table, and whatever you put in it shows, so the drinks become part of the decor. My old plastic containers were also just too big for the table, and these fit.
Are they hard to clean?
Not at all. The lids come off really easily, and they wash up really well. They have been through three parties in one month, and they came out shining.
