FAQs
1. Balloon gin glasses
Originating from the Basque region in Spain, Copa de Balon glasses or balloon glasses have large, rounded cups. This pushes the aromas of the botanicals towards your nose while you drink. The spacious bowl of the Copa glass allows space for plenty of ice to keep your drink refreshingly chilled. Whilst the tall stems prevent your hands from warming and melting the ice when you’re holding it. Additionally, there’s more room for garnishes that will help to flavour your G&T. Take your pick from citrus fruits, herbs or pretty petals.
2. Highball gin glasses
Named for the classic whiskey and soda cocktail, highball glasses are tall and elegant. They’re ideal for serving classic G&Ts or other cocktails that require carbonated mixers and lots of crushed ice. The slim shape and narrow opening minimise carbonation loss and keep mixers fizzy. While the limited surface area means drinks will stay cool for longer. Highballs make for a versatile addition to your home bar as they’re used for a variation of drinks and mocktails. Think mojitos, Bloody Mary’s and Long Island iced tea.
3. Gin goblets
A gin goblet has a very similar shape to the fancy Copa de Balon, with a rounded glass to hold soda, ice and garnishes. Colder ice equals less dilution, so you’ll be able to taste the botanical flavours of your favourite cocktail much more cleanly. Choose a design with hand-finished details, including mouthblown glass that gives each piece a distinctive and colourful finish.
4. Stemless gin glasses
Favoured for their cool shape, these have the same wide, rounded cups as balloon glasses, without the tall stem. Their shape makes it easier to taste the botanical notes when you sip, with plenty of space for ice and garnishes. However, this style will warm up in your hands more quickly than other long or short stem options, which may melt the ice and dilute your drink. To avoid this, don’t use crushed ice. Instead, make your own blocks using an ice mould or use waterless cooling stones.
5. Tumblers
If you want to enjoy a drink with fizzy mixers, avoid choosing a tumbler. Their short shape restricts the space for the drink’s ingredients. However, tumblers or lowball glasses are a nice choice when serving straight or other soda-less refreshments. (Including the Negroni or Gin Sour). The drinks trolley of any gin lover will be well stocked with a selection of specialty or luxury spirits. So, if you want to enjoy the clean taste of the spirit without any other flavourings, fill your tumbler with a large ice cube and add your favourite spirit.
6. Unusual gin glasses
If you’re hosting a party and want to wow your guests, why not serve your drinks in funky and unusual glasses? A pineapple cocktail glass is a showstopping option – ours has a wide bowl with plenty of room for the G&T, ice and pretty garnishes. If you’re serving a gin punch, use a larger carafe or a quirky gluggle jug. And make sure to garnish it with decorative fruits or unique-shaped ice cubes.
