No matter if you're a casual, enthusiastic home bartender or a professional mixologist, having a solid understanding of which glass should accompany your cocktail is key. Typically, every cocktail recipe, book, or article will provide a recommendation on glassware to enhance the taste and aroma of the drink you’re making. However, if you want to take matters into your own hands, consider the following types of cocktail glasses:
A rocks glass is perfect for cocktails that are served over ice and involve muddling. These glasses allow your drink to stay cooler longer and give you the option to add a garnish, such as a grapefruit twist or an olive.
A coupe glass always shines with elegance and sophistication. Ideal for cocktails that don't need to be poured over ice, it sits gracefully in your hand and will be a standout at any gathering. Pro tip: Fill it with ice while you shake or stir your cocktail to chill the glass and prolong the coolness of the drink.
A highball glass is ideal for a vodka tonic combination or any type of Bloody Mary. Not only does it allow you to add plenty of ice to keep the drink colder for longer, but it also expands your options for garnishes. For a Bloody Mary, consider Padron peppers, olives, cherry tomatoes, or fresh celery sticks.
