When making and serving a cocktail, it is very important to know what type of glass to use. There are four different glasses used when preparing and serving drinks. There are also specialty glasses that are used for some mixed drinks. For example, a Pina Colada is not served in one of the four basic glasses.

The first type of glass is a tumbler. These are also called rock glasses. They are short and broad, having either straight or sloped sides. These glasses hold about 125ml. They are typically used for short drinks or spirits. The second type of glass is called the highball glass. These are tall and are typically of medium width. These glasses are used when serving long drinks that contain ice. The glass holds between 200 and 300ml of liquid.

The third type of glass is a champagne glass. There are actually two types of champagne glasses; a flute and a saucer. The champagne flute is very common. The glass is tall and narrow and has a stem. The glass sides are usually thin. This glass holds about 150ml. The other type of champagne glass, the saucer, is a wide glass with a stem. It is much shallower than the flute. While this glass is not commonly used for serving champagne, it is often used when serving Margarita’s.

The fourth type of glass is the classic cocktail glass. They resemble the letter Y when looked at from the side. These glasses are tall and have sloping sides. They are also stemmed. The classic cocktail glass holds 90ml. It is usually used for drinks that are strong and short.
