Cocktail glasses – a must-have for all cocktail lovers

What are cocktail glasses and what are they used for?

Cocktail glasses are a particular style of drinking glass made for serving cocktails. Cocktail glasses come in a variety of types, each with a unique form and function. The most popular kinds of cocktail glasses are listed below:

  • Coupe Glass: A coupe glass resembles a martini glass but has a larger, shallower bowl. It is often used to serve shaken or stirred drinks, such as the traditional Champagne Cocktail or the Sidecar.
  • Highball Glass: Highball glass, also referred to as long dink glasses, has straight edges and is tall and thin. It is often used to serve drinks like a Gin and Tonic or a Rum and Coke.
  • Lowball Glass: A lowball glass is often referred to as a rocks glass or an Old Fashioned glass. It features an upright base and a short, broad bowl.

It is often used to serve cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Negroni that are served on the rocks.

Each type of cocktail glass is designed to showcase the flavours and aromas of a particular type of cocktail, and using the right type of glass can enhance your drinking experience. When preparing cocktails make sure you have all the bartender tools you may need!
