Glassware

The right glass shapes how a cocktail looks, smells, and stays cold. From the V-shaped coupe to the tall collins, each glass has a purpose. Browse all 12 cocktail glasses below.

champagne flute

27 cocktails

The tall, narrow champagne flute minimizes the drink's surface area to preserve carbonation and show off rising bubbles. It keeps sparkling drinks cold and elegant. Used for Champagne, Prosecco, and sparkling cocktails.

cocktail glass

423 cocktails

The V-shaped cocktail glass — also called a martini glass — holds 4–8 oz and is designed for chilled drinks served without ice. Its wide, open bowl lets aromas develop fully, and the long stem keeps hand warmth away from the drink.

collins glass

36 cocktails

A tall, narrow glass holding 10–14 oz, the Collins glass was designed for the Tom Collins and suits any long drink with ice and carbonated mixers. Its height preserves carbonation longer than a wider glass would.

copper mug

13 cocktails

The copper mug is inseparable from the Moscow Mule. Copper conducts cold efficiently, keeping the drink colder for longer, while the handle stops hand warmth from reaching the metal and imparts a faint sharpness that complements ginger beer.

highball glass

238 cocktails

A straight-sided glass holding 8–12 oz, the highball is the workhorse of the bar. It suits any spirit-and-mixer combination — gin and tonic, whiskey soda, dark and stormy — where you need room for ice and a generous pour.

irish coffee glass

17 cocktails

A heat-resistant glass mug with a handle, designed for hot cocktails. The clear glass puts the layered coffee, whiskey, and cream on display, while the handle protects the hand from heat.

lowball glass

157 cocktails

Also called a rocks glass or Old Fashioned glass, this short, wide tumbler holds 6–10 oz. Its heavy base is built for muddling, and the wide mouth makes it easy to add a large ice cube or sphere. Classic for Old Fashioneds, Negronis, and Whiskey Sours on the rocks.

margarita glass

22 cocktails

The wide, double-bowl margarita glass provides a broad rim surface for salt or sugar — a defining element of the Margarita. Its stepped silhouette distinguishes the serve and it holds 12–16 oz for a generous pour.

tiki mug

13 cocktails

A ceramic or glazed mug shaped as a tiki totem or tropical figure, used for tiki and tropical cocktails. Part functional, part theater — it keeps drinks cold and adds to the festive, Polynesian-inspired presentation.

tropical glass

14 cocktails

A broad, curved glass used for tiki and tropical cocktails, designed to accommodate layered drinks, elaborate garnishes, and decorative straws. The wide mouth allows colorful presentations and easy sipping.

wine glass

45 cocktails

A stemmed glass with a wide bowl used for wine-based cocktails, spritzes, and sangria. The stem keeps hand warmth away from the drink, and the bowl's surface area allows aromas to open up.

zombie glass

4 cocktails

A tall glass holding 14–16 oz, named after the tiki classic Zombie cocktail. Its generous volume accommodates the large-format pours typical of tiki drinks along with ice, mixers, and elaborate fruit garnishes.
