Make Mine a Double

posted by Arty on May 21

Here is a list of the types of glasses available and which you might wish to add to your home cocktail bar:

• Cocktail/Martini glass - the traditional glass for cocktails and martinis
• Wine glass - traditionally white wine glasses are smaller with a longer stem
• Liqueur glass - small glass for small measures (not really needed in my house!)
• Highball or tall glass - tall, straight sided glass for drinks with lemonade or fruit juice in them
• Goblet - vary in size and shape, used for tall drinks with lots of ice like the Mai Tai cocktail
• Champagne glass - tall fluted glass with tall stem for, funnily enough, champagne
• Tumbler - short tumbler with straight or sloping sides for plain fruit juice, or whiskey based drinks
• Tulip glass - shaped like a tulip, often for champagne drinks
• Brandy snifter - designed to trap for fragrance of brandy in the glass, short glass with a lip at the top

After reading all that, I feel a thirst coming on…
