When you picture iconic cocktails, the martini glass undoubtedly stands out. And rightfully so. Like many cocktail glasses, its design isn’t just for show.
“Choosing the right glass for each cocktail is crucial. It elevates the entire drinking experience,” notes mixologist Adam Way. “The glass you pick influences the drink’s look and feel. Specific glasses amplify particular traits in cocktails, and selecting the right one demonstrates your attention to detail.”
Every bar needs martini glasses. They’re ideal for drinks served without ice. The elongated stem and conical design help maintain the drink’s temperature, while its broad opening intensifies the aroma. While it’s the go-to for both shaken and stirred martinis, it’s equally suited for cosmopolitans, lemon drops, and indulgent chocolate espresso martinis.
2- Cocktail Glasses Coupe

Cocktail Glasses Coupe boast a stem that culminates in a shallow bowl, making for a picture-perfect silhouette. Yet, this design isn’t just about aesthetics. The stem of coupe glasses ensures your hand’s warmth doesn’t affect the drink. When served in a coupe, cocktails often taste sweeter, feel smoother, and appear more harmoniously blended with a botanical touch compared to those in a rocks glass.
With its broad, circular opening, the coupe glass is ideal for cocktails meant to be savored sip by sip. It can contain up to 4 ounces, making a modest amount of liquor appear as a generous pour. Unlike a Martini glass, it’s less prone to spilling its contents. Plus, it showcases those ingenious garnishes in the most delightful way.
3- Nick and Nora Glasses

More user-friendly and comfortable to grip than the traditional coupe, they’re ideal for drinks meant to be savored over time. While they’re perfect for cocktails like the Sidecar and Bee’s Knees, they’re versatile enough for Champagne or virtually any mixed drink, whether shaken or stirred.

Not only does it elevate the drink’s taste, but it also adds a festive touch. Beyond cocktails, this versatile glass can also be used for serving dishes like shrimp cocktail.
