Youโve asked, let me help & answer the burning questionโฆ
Where do I get my glassware?!
Letโs get into it. First, letโs talk about glassware because itโs important. There are different types of glasses for different types of cocktails. Do keep in mind, you can put your cocktails in any glass you want, donโt forget that. But, itโs important to know which cocktails go into which glasses first and then you can switch it up from there.
Letโs Talk Glassware Basics:
-
Martini or Coupe Glasses: These glasses are used for a Gin Martini, an Espresso Martini, a Clover Club or even champagne with a coupe glass! Essentially, these glasses hold drinks that are between 3 and 6 ounces and almost never have ice in them. Therefore, these glasses are almost always chilled.
-
Highball Glasses: Think of Gin & Tonics, Dark & Stormy, Mojitos, or a Paloma. I like to think of highball glasses as cocktails that have a little fizz. These glasses hold about 8 to 16 ounces so they can be filled with your spirit, ice, and bubbles!
-
Rocks Glasses: Ahh, the classic rocks glass, Iโm sure youโve seen your dad use at the end of the night for a classic nightcap. Yep, think of an old-fashioned, a Manhattan, or a Negroni, A rocks glass is for those drinks that are served on the rocks but also โneat drinksโ (drinks without any ice at all). A rockโs glass can hold anywhere between 6 and 8 ounces.
Now these are the basic glassware options but youโll also have:
-
Wine glasses
-
Spritz Glasses or Gin & Tonic Glasses
-
Shot Glasses
-
Beer Glasses
-
Margarita Glasses
-
etc.
