Present your cocktails like a professional in a bar glass. No
home bar would be complete without a collection of bar glasses that are both
durable and fun. For your guests there's always a buzz of anticipation when
you ask, "What will you have to drink?" And as host it's your job
to mix up tasty treats your guests will rave about. The best way to do that
is to serve your creation in a beautiful bar glass. Every gourmet chef knows
that presentation makes good food taste even better and it's the same with
mixed drinks.
A good drink served in the right bar glass makes it actually taste better!
Inside you'll find all the favourite cocktail glasses: tom collins glasses,

glasses that are sure to impress your guests. Choosing the right bar glass
was considered absolutely essential at one time. Now is a more relaxed age
and we are less rigid about the choice of bar glass used. Below is some of
the bar glasses you should consider purchasing. After all it doesn't do much
for the image of the amateur bartender if the same bar glass is used over
and over again! The shot glass is a small glass used for high alcohol content

It has a thick stem to stop your hand from warming the drinks. The martini
glass is probably the most famous of them all and is used for martinis and
margaritas. The champagne flute is excellent for any drink with bubbles in
it. The height of the glass shows off the bubbles as they rise. The lowball
glass or tumbler is used for bloody marys and other drinks that have a large
mixer – alcohol ratio. The highball glass is often used for fruit punches
and Harvey wallbangers. The Paris goblet is the classic wine glass.
