Features of cocktail glasses

There are a huge number of different glasses in the world, each is adapted for a certain type of alcohol and, according to experts, is not suitable for others. What makes cocktail glasses so different from each other?

For starters, height. The shorter the glass, the stronger it is. A classic example is a shot. This is a small narrow glass in which layered cocktails look great.

The tallest glasses, such as the Hurricane, are designed for long sipping. Often, such a cocktail is not too high in strength, decorated with fruit or whipped cream, and is aimed mainly at the female half of humanity.

The martini glass is considered one of the classic cocktail glass options. It serves cool cocktails, since the long stem prevents the drink from heating up from the human hand.

Don’t forget about a specialized glassware, such as Pina Colada, Margarita or Daiquiri. And, although these glasses are named after certain drinks, they also serve other cocktails that are similar in preparation or type of serving.

There are now an incredible number of cocktail glasses and an equal number of rules for serving them. Famous designers effectively collaborate with various brands, creating new and unique shapes for glasses. You shouldn’t follow all the instructions for serving drinks, but you should follow the basic rules so as not to tarnish your reputation.
