Cocktail glass
Cocktail Glass
A cocktail glass is a stemmed glass with an inverted cone bowl, mainly used to serve straight-up cocktails. The term is often used interchangeably with martini glass, despite them differing slightly. Today, cocktail glasses are used in a variety of drinks from traditional martinis and Manhattans to more modern craft cocktails.
History
The cocktail glass is believed to have been in use since the early 20th century. The wide rim of the glass was designed to help dissipate the alcohol aroma, allowing the drinker to appreciate the more delicate scents of the cocktail. The stem, on the other hand, prevents the drinker's hand from warming the drink, keeping it at the optimal temperature.
Design
The design of a cocktail glass is typically characterized by a wide, shallow bowl, and a long stem. The bowl is designed to showcase the clear, clean simplicity of the drink, and the stem allows the drinker to hold the glass without affecting the temperature of the drink. The capacity of a cocktail glass is typically between 4 and 6 ounces.
Variations
There are several variations of the cocktail glass, including the coupe glass and the Nick and Nora glass. The coupe glass, with its broad, shallow bowl, was originally designed for champagne, but has since been adopted for many cocktails. The Nick and Nora glass, named after the characters in the classic Thin Man movies, is a smaller, more rounded version of the cocktail glass.
Usage
Cocktail glasses are used to serve a variety of cocktails, including martinis, Manhattans, and other drinks served "up" - that is, without ice. The wide rim allows the drinker to fully appreciate the aroma of the drink, while the stem keeps the drink at the correct temperature.
