Which Glass should I use for my cocktail? Home Bar Glass Guide

No matter how much ice you put in the glass, the cocktail is always 32° F.

The martini goblet has the modernist clean, angular lines of the 1920s art deco movement. Modernism really begins in that period, or a decade prior

Gdevn sir am a guy from muts all i want to know explanation about cocktail book

Very informative.

I found this both entertaining and informative. :) Thank you!

It's so much fun to find vintage barware, and it's nice to know what's what.

What capacity of ounces do you prefer for the martini glass?

I would love to see an additional video covering more niche glasses

I use either a rocks/double rocks or martini glass for cocktails at home.I have a couple Collins glasses but they are too tall & narrow for my liking

I generally follow the standard recipes for the cocktails. But sometimes, I change my glass type and so the standard recipes have been changing based on the wash-line of the glasses millilitre. In this situation, what do I do necessary to find the best wash line for the ingredients? For instance, whisky sour, 60cl Whisky, 25cl lime, 15cl simple sugar, 15ml egg-white. I want to prepare glass that has 400ml. But if I use standard recipes for this sour, there is a lot of space left in the glass. I don't want to fill this void with just ice. Changing the ratios without breaking them, I think, is the only thing that needs to be done here. Is this a suitable method?

Actually I've heard one interesting legend about rocks glass, it's about Scots thrift. It is said, that when in early days distilleries started delivering their whiskies to barkeeprs in bottles, not in casks, barkeeepers didn't want to throw away empty bottles, and they were cutting the lower part of the bottle and using it as a glass.

Pretty cool. I'd like to hear your take on Tiki glassware like a Pearl Diver glass or even wooden or resin tiki mugs.

Use for the boston pint glass?

100% agree with you about the seam.

Apart from the vast knowledge (which you and the other usual suspects on YT so generously share with us) and the access to different bottles of spirits, the thing I envy most is, I think, your glassware collections. There is something about serving a drink in the right glass, which can elevate the whole experience.

Fortunately I am able to find many of the Libbey glasses where I live and I have built a nice small selection. Then for others I always keep an eye out. The trickiest bit is to get the right capacity (in oz and ml).

Cheers again, thanks for sharing!

A very thoughtful video. My suggestion is that I like to know how much liquid each of my glasses will hold so that I can think about which one to choose for a particular drink. Not too small and not too large. The Cinderella effect. Perhaps not surprisingly, this has led me own quite a wide variety of glasses. My wife rolls her eyes at this, but our guests do not. As an aside, for those that are new to mixing craft cocktails, don't be afraid to pick up some "pretty" glasses at a second hand store. Very nice video. Thank you.

Is there a technical spec for double old-fashioned? Asking because Mai-Tai. I'm trying to find the perfect glass for it and I'm a little stumped. Love the channel as always.

Thanks a lot, great research and information! Building my bar

Can you please do a segment on types of liquor that require refrigeration? I know there’s tons of articles and recommendations but a video that shows the variety of things that should always be kept in the fridge once open and with a life shelf expectancy would be $$$$$$!!!! (At least for this novice)

Things I never knew. I truly enjoyed that presentation.

Hey man, how about tall glasses that are wider on top than on the bottom? are those collins glasses as well? Thanks

Not traditional, but what we use all the time at home is Yeti wine glasses. Keeps our drinks cool.

I, for one, would absolutely love to hear you go into the other types of glassware

Rona makes some really nice nick and nora glasses.

great run down on the basics! my glassware tends towards probably your third glassware episode?? But then I just love glassware and have watching your channel for a long long time. keep up the great work! love these!

Agree regarding a seam on a glass

Great tutorial on the basics of glassware. love it.

i just bought some wonderful Schott Zwiesel (barware series) Nick and Nora glasses from WestEnd. It's tritan crystal, but molded not blown (no visible seam) and very sturdy and inexpensive. Still looking for a couple of nice blown ones that are more elegant. Schott also makes a killer double old fashion blown. Very beautiful to serve anything in.

More of these videos!

Where's the hurricane glassware love?!

Real housewives comment was hilarious, "I'm not judging" reminded me of the smug comment in an old video "don't tell me you made it with Bourbon and I won't slap you" ;)

Loved this vid, just like all the previous ones ❤️ Please don’t stop making them, Master

This is definitely useful. It's nice to have a baseline for what to have for a home bar.

Wow. I was really surprised to find that most of my glasses are actually some of the glasses featured in this presentation. I guess the manufactures are in a win - win situation if the glasses they sell support both cocktails and normal home use. Thanks.

Aren't old fashioned glasses also referred to as rocks glasses?

Either I'm crazy or this is a reupload lol

I'm crying alone in my room watching this 😆🤣

Love this series of videos. Inspiring

what? no viking horn?! .....rude

Yes to Extra Credit Glassware!

Loving this series! I’ve been building my home bar for just over 1 year using your cocktails and booze recommendations. For glasses I’ve been adding selections from each category that could have dual purpose such as a Collins glass that has tiki inspired markings and goes with a variety of drink styles. Great content!

Defimitively go for extra credit glasses

Great stuff, thanks Leandro.

Our home bar has all manor of glassware. We regularly go thrift store shopping. Glass and barware are the first things we look for. And as we "upgrade" we'll just drop of the one's we change out, at the local charity stores. Estate sales and garage sale, too.

How dare you emotionally manipulate me with your glassware!!😆
