Featuring pro tips from Cocktail Resident Harper Fendler.
When it comes to cocktails, we at Food52 think that the vessel that holds your drink is almost as important as the beverage itself. But with so much terminology and so many options, it can be challenging to find the perfect glass for whatever you’re sipping. So, we talked to two experts to figure out exactly what to look for in a cocktail glass—and which styles are worth keeping on hand.
First off, Harper says it’s helpful to think about cocktail glasses as having two main categories: stemmed and stemless . Which type of glass you serve a drink in depends on a variety of factors, ranging from tradition and personal taste to practicality. According to Harper, the first major consideration is volume. “You'd hate to make a drink, go to pour it in a glass only to find that it's too small,” he says. “The inverse is also true: If you select a glass that is too large for the volume of the finished drink, you're left with your cocktail looking skimpy. No good.
