No elegant occasion is complete without the proper glassware. If you are serving cabernet, your guests expect the proper cabernet glasses, and the same goes for martinis and other flavorful cocktails. The martini glass has been a staple in cocktail parties for many years, and it is easy to see why. Its elegant shape, refinement, and positive effects on the flavorful contents inside are just some of the reasons why you should stock your bar with good martini glasses. The right martini glasses should have the following qualities.
Did you know that the shape of a glass can affect the flavor of a drink? With wine, it is important for reds to breathe, which is why the glass is wider than a white wine glass. However, sparkling wines are served in a narrow glass, called a flute, to preserve their bubbly essence. No one wants flat champagne.
Cocktail glasses feature a very wide mouth so that your nose can get closer to the liquid and you can smell the subtle essences in the drink. Highball glasses are designed for drinks that require ice. Snifters are used for those beverages that benefit from the heat of your hand warming them just a bit. Brandy and whiskey are among the beverages that become better when used with a snifter.
