1. Old-fashioned glass
Apart from its namesake cocktail, the old-fashioned glass is a staple for most drinks brown and stirred. There’s also a particular satisfaction found in drinking straight whisky from a burly tumbler like this.
2. Coupe
The most stylish vessel for cocktails (and a much smarter design than the martini glass), coupes double as champagne saucers.
3. Collins glass
Shockingly, Collins glasses were originally used for Collins cocktails. Any long drink fits nicely in these slender cylinders, from fizzes to Lynchburg Lemonade.
