Present your martinis like a professional in martini glassware.
No home bar would be complete without a collection of martini glassware that
is both durable and fun. For your guests there's always a buzz of anticipation
when you ask, "would you like a martini?" 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 beautiful martini glassware.
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 martini
glassware makes it actually taste better! Choosing the right martini glassware
was considered absolutely essential at one time. Now is a more relaxed age
and we are less rigid about the choice of martini glassware used. Below is
some of the bar glassware you should consider purchasing. After all it doesn't
do much for the image of the amateur bartender if the same bar glassware is
used over and over again! The shot glass is a small glass used for high alcohol
content drinks. The cocktail glass is an elegant glass used for many cocktails.
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.
