"SourGlass" news and stories

Liquor and Cocktail Glasses, Part Four - Slashfood's Glassware Guide

Sour Glass


Reminiscent of a curvy champagne flute or wine glass, sour glasses work well with the cold foam of sour drinks. The stem, meanwhile, will help keep the drink cold like other stemmed glassware.




scotch glass
Whisky Glass


The tulip shape of this glass derives from classic Scotch tasting glasses (the look primarily same, but without the slightly wider mouth). Like the wine glasses, this glass tapers towards the top to concentrate aromas for both neat and on-the-rocks servings.



cordial glasses
Cordial Glass


The most similar companion to the cordial glass is the shot glass. Unlike other vessels that require a number of ingredients, the cordial glass is made for sipping – particularly small portions of liquor after dinner. With a shot, you down the beverage in one gulp. With the cordial, you make it last, like savoring every bite of a rich dessert.




absinthe glass
Absinthe Glass


These glasses, which are never complete without the slotted spoon, have short, thick stems. Also, the embellishments in the glass' body are more than just artistic creation -- they serve as a dose line to signify how much absinthe should be poured in. Glass added thanks to Rainman's reminder!
