An apparatus for rinsing vessels such as but not limited to those used for drink preparation at a bar may include a splash-resistant enclosure within which vessels are rinsed. A nozzle assembly disposed within the stall and coupled to a supply of rinsing media is configured to direct a spray of rinsing media simultaneously at an interior surface and an exterior surface of a vessel to be rinsed when placed within the stall. A method of rinsing such vessels includes simultaneously directing a flow of rinsing media at an interior and an exterior of the vessel in a predetermined quantity and/or for a predetermined time.
