Cocktail Glasses
Cocktail Glasses, or Liquor Glasses, are a type of glassware used to serve and drink cocktails. Cocktail Glasses physically are characterized by an inverted cone bowl that is supported by a stem and a foot. The wide bowl of traditional Cocktail Glasses places the drink directly under the drinker’s nose providing an aromatic element and the stem of the glass helps it to not warm up too quickly.
Cocktail Glasses are often used to serve drinks like the martini, Manhattan, or Cosmopolitan. Cocktail Glasses today also include more modern and streamlined glassware such as tumblers and other custom glasses uniquely designed for new cocktail recipes. They are typically available in different sizes and are typically made of glass.
