What Glasses Do You Use For Cocktails?
There are no strict rules when it comes to cocktails and their glassware. However, some cocktails like margaritas and martinis do have glasses made just for them. Do you have to stick to them? Of course not.
What Are The Most Versatile Cocktail Glasses?
Coupe glasses make for a great all-rounder if you’re starting your collection from scratch, suiting everything from espresso martinis to champagne. The coupe shape has become increasingly popular in recent years, menaing there are plenty of cute styles to shop. Second to the coupe, we reccommend a short glass for cocktails like negronis and margaritas.
