Cocktail Glasses - essentials and favorites
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2024
- Today I've decided to take out all of my cocktail glasses! Lately I've received a lot of questions regarding the glassware I use in my videos, so I figured I'd address them all together. The right glass will help raise your cocktail to the next level, and each style of glassware serves its own unique purpose. I'll go over all the glassware I use by breaking them up into three categories and showing you my favorites. Then as a bonus, I'll also cover the bottle and carafe I use for my citrus and syrups (that's another question I've received a lot). I've tried to link as many of my glasses down below, along with some comparable options. To all those asking about glassware, I appreciate your interest and see your questions - hope you find this video helpful!

What's your favorite glassware? I've tried to link all of mine in the description - I'll add to the list as I buy more down the road. I've also included the ml measurements for those interested. As I suggest at the end of the video, I recommend hunting for unique glassware at thrift stores. Happy mixing everyone! 🍹 🥃 🍷
I just picked up Nick and Nora glasses a week ago after watching a few of your videos, those are definitely a favorite now.
Have you seen the Aged & Ore "Neat glass"? That's my new favorite whiskey glass
@@DPTX I'll definitely look it up! Thanks for the tip!
My favorite glasses are a set of martini or cocktail glasses manufactured by Libbey. The pattern is called Lucerne and they were produced in the early 1930’s when Libbey was still producing very fine glassware on par with Tiffin, Steuben, and Dorflinger. The pattern features a skyscraper-like stem and alternating airstream lines and circles on the v-shaped bowl. It’s the most Art Deco glass ever and perfect for classic cocktails. Also good luck finding them.
I got crystal tumblers for whisky or cocktails on a rock. Love them.
here in uruguay there's a spreading cheese (requeson) that comes in glasses and thats what i use for all of my cocktails because they are super comfortable to drink from and i love the contrast between having a fancy drink and having it from a glass so common and not-fancy
love that the clock on the wall is stopped at 5 o'clock.
I was thinking the same.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere.
@@phattyj811 actually no, times zones are in hour differences so if it’s not a full hour in your time it isn’t a full hour in any other country.
@@xKipura it's a reference to an Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett song.
It’s cocktail time
I am from France and I have to say that your pronunciation of "coupe" is perfect! There is no "accent aiguë" 😉
That's wonderful - thank you, Jauris! 🇫🇷
now we just need to work on his Vieux Carré ;)
Je croyais être le seul francophone à regarder cette chaîne haha entre les unités de mesure américaines et les marques d’alcools qui n’ont rien à voir avec l’Europe c’est compliqué desfois
@@jeremybucketshello
Just went through a few thrift stores a couple days back and they are gold mines for cheap, unique, or classic glassware. I’ll have to go back now that I know what I’m looking for!
The final 3 selection is excellent.
Old fashion for large ice drinks
Skinny ones for bubbly drinks
Stem glass for no ice drinks
I would definitely get a Gibraltar too, because it's iconic and it can be an espresso glass as well.
There is nothing I love more than a sexy Nick & Nora glass. Incredibly diverse and damn they make a cocktail look good. Great video Anders. Cheers! 🥃
I have to agree. No garnish necessary in most cases - the glass is pretty enough. Thanks, Vino!
Being a French Canadian, I confirm that your prononciation of « coupe » is exact 👍🏻 Since there is no « accent aigu » on the « e » (é), it is pronounced « coupe » and not « coupay » (coupé).
As another french canadian, I concur.
As a Canadian, I confirm that it's pop, not soda...
@@sharpe8888 as a Michigander I also concur with that
As a French French, I concur as well.
@@sharpe8888 I moved around a lot as a kid, so it’s a soda pop. 😉
Creator that listens to his audience! Amazing!
Thank you Anders!
Always a joy learning from you!
Thank you, Philipp! Cheers! 🥃
Glassware is such a slippery slope. Your glassware always look incredible -- great video!!
You can never have too much glassware! Thanks, Dominic!
I like that these are always pretty clear about where to spend the money. I thrift alot of my glassware but even with different spirits, there's a good sense of range from "get whatever one you like, it'll be fine" to "you probably shouldn't skimp on this". Actually helpful to building a bar at home in your budget
I hope some day Anders gets an EMMY. He just has the best, most inviting, cocktails channel on all of TH-cam. Also, Gibraltar + whiskey + splash of water = perfection. Yes? “To the bar”
You are so right about the thrift store being a slippery slope. I did score a Royal Doulton crystal whisky glass for $1.89 today and found many tiki glasses on other trips. So fun to treasure hunt!
I just scored a Boston shaker from a thrift store for $1.60... Well, OK I scored half of a Boston shaker (the bigger tin- the cheater tin was nowhere to be found) for $0.79 and then a cool frosted pint glass for another $0.79 and... Oila! Also almost all of my glassware is from thrift stores. It's so much fun :)
I found 2 sapphire blue martini glasses yesterday for $2 ea. I found the one with the blue marbles and the other was the arches
You are by far my favorite bar guy on TH-cam! You explain everything very well and very educational, I do craft cocktails at home and I have done some friends parties and have used your techniques and drink recipes, thanks and keep your videos coming!
I love rounded stemware, so coupes, N&N's, that kind of stuff. By far my favourite and first pick for almost any drink, I don't care if it's "wrong".
It's so fun, and dangerous, to scour thrift stores for glassware! I love older designs, and I don't mind not having complete sets. I like having a full set for the dinner table, but for cocktails I think it's more fun to have a big mix of different designs - and, as a bonus, it makes it easier for guests to keep track of their own glasses if they don't all match 😅
Made my day to see to this episode. I have just invested in some home bar essentials(thanks to your video) for mixing and was just starting to look into what glasses to have on hand. I really like the way you present it in this channel. Find a starting place and then slowly expand. This helps a lot so thank you! :)
I love everything about this video. I’m obsessed with my glassware collection and love to match the cocktail with the right glass. It turns a drink into an experience (ok, that sounds lame, but you get it). Nick and Nora glasses are great for older recipes before drink sizes exploded (I’m looking at you Sex and the City).
Really,. really helpful video Anders. Thank you!!!
Appreciate you providing the size of the glasses displayed. It helped a lot as I'm looking at some glass options at cocktail supply stores, which have several similar sizes for common glasses!
Brilliant video as always, Anders! Thanks for putting it together.
I love your video's and love the way you tell both the story behind everything before going into the detail of the subject. please do more
I love the look and feel of the coupe!
I am currently learning bartendering and all this is in our syllabus!! Thanks a lot anders for posting this video. All my doubts are gone!
Man this guy (and girl) know how to make a video. Love the long list and then short list format. Helpful to know what to start with, and then what to add over time. Nice work Anders and Az!
Love the thrift store shout out. There’s nothing like finding glassware that’s inexpensive at a thrift store. My favorite thing to do.
Best video so far I've seen about glassware! Thanx for the tips!
I’m really enjoying your content. Great information presented in a perfectly casual pitch. Good job!
What a great episode and really appreciate the effort in putting all the links down here. Craaazyyy work! Cheers man
I enjoy the way you talk about things. Nice presentation
Thank you so much for this video, simplifying down to the key three was the most helpful part
Great video as usual. Happy that you did one on the glasses that you use, as your drinks always look great. As I've learn't with my drink making, the right glass make a world of difference. Really informative video, look forward to your next one.
I have just started bartending and you are my biggest inspiration so thank you
I just bought my beginners glassware collection earlier this month.
This educational video will be helpful to expand it. I've been searching for the syrup carafe but I didn't know what it was called. Thank you!
I love your shot/cordial glass😀. I never figured you could drink shooters like a gentleman. 🤵 🍸
Wow I swoon over every episode, even if it takes me a couple days to get to it
My preferences are so close! My top three: the rocks for anything with ice, the Nick & Nora for any cocktail, the coupe for anything fizzy. But if I could add a fourth, I'd go balloon glass for a mixed drink like the venerable G&T. I just think these work so well aesthetically
I really enjoy your explanations and your fans
A well overdue video. Loved the info you provided on the glassware. Wish I saw this before my visit to my local thrift store today.
Also enjoying how we Canadian viewers are slowly chipping away at you with "Pop" and hopefully a love of good Canadian Rye.
Just like last week with the mojito, you release a video in just the right time! 😁 I was about to order some glasses tomorrow, thank you for the awesome video and have a nice weekend!!
I love the Nick and Nora too! Very versatile! Thanks for the video, great info!
COCKTAIL DECANTER! Thank you! I've had one for a long time and didn't know what it was or how I even acquired it.
Super great video! I love the content and the fact that you see the need of knowing your glassware 👍🥃
I've just had a couple of cocktails and just wanted to say I think you're rad, Anders. Keep the rad content and drinks flowing!
Loved all the "puns" gracefully inserted throughout the video. Great job! Super entertaining!
woow thanks a lot Anders. you just cured my curiosity on the types of glasses to build my home bar
This is an extremely useful video, bordering on a public service. As for the comment on the dangers of thrift stores, that's a real thing. I recently found myself making frozen margaritas solely because I needed to do something with the margarita glasses I had picked up for 99 cents each. (The frozen margarita is, however, a very enjoyable drink. Just ask Jimmy Buffett.)
Anders, thank you once again! You really outdid yourself on this one. Looking forward to next week’s cocktail and keep up the great work!
Appreciate that, Jack! I'm excited about next week's cocktail. Enjoy the weekend!
My favorite glasses to drink from are some old Crown Royal engraved lowball tumblers I found at a thrift store. They just have the perfect diameter, weight and texture for me.
You are correct about the “coupe” vs “coupé”… I’m French Canadian… Excellent video! Thanks!
Thank you that was extremely informative
Another fantastic video Anders! I need to expand my glassware collection
I love that idea to check a thrift shop for glassware!!! Also, my martini glasses are ridiculously huge! I made tour Manhattan and it’s 1/2 full! Time to shop!😉
Thanks Anders. Great video, explains things short & sweet. Fun fact: the "coupé" that people think is correct is actually because two-door cars were "cut down" from sedans (four door) cars - hence "ils sont coupez", as "couper" is the French verb "to cut". La Coupe (no accent) is the French noun for "stemmed glass".
SO MUCH GLASSWARE!!! LOL Nice info on something some people don't even think about. That printed tiki rocks glass would be awesome to have an Old Fashioned in.
Great breakdown. :) And yes, second hand glassware shopping is a wonderfully slippery slope. :) So is inheriting old glassware from relatives.
The glasses I use constantly are xtra wide double rocks glass, large sour/martini type stemmed glass, metal julep cup, and 10 oz ball jar. I can pretty much serve any drink in those 4, and I just prefer these 4, even though I have quite a few others.
My wife and I love to look for vintage glasses at estate sales and thrift stores. We’ve found some beautiful vintage crystal glasses that we love.
100% correct about thrift stores, they always have a ton of glassware for some reason, and theyre usually like $1 each which is dangerous. I've bought many pint glasses at thrift stores too!
I like the glass Jarito's soda bottles. You can even leave the labels on if you want to easily distinguish the syrup and juice types you put in them if you're feeling lazy lol
I found all of my glassware at a thrift store. You wouldn't believe some of the amazing glasses you will find there.
Finally! I've been thinking about asking you about glassware and lo and behold you make a video! Thank so much. I have a set of lowball and highball, some martini glasses too. But I definitely want to get a set of Nick and Nora glasses. Thanks again and keep on making these awesome videos.
Literally just bought some rocks glasses I thought were the ones you’re using... and apparently they are not. But they’re excellent for my needs. Happy to have learned about Libbey from your channel.
I had never heard of a Nick and Nora glass. I can only assume it comes from the Dashiell Hammet story of the Thin Man. William Powell and Myrna Loy were fantastic in their roles of Nick and Nora in the movie. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Seriously.. It is from 1934 and is one of my favorites. Quite a boozy film too.
I adored the Thin Man movies when I was a kid, used to watch them with my mom🥰
Always shake it to waltz time 😉
I just got some highball and martini glass to go with my rocks glasses. Rocks glasses really are the one essential glass.
Excellent advice on glassware.
found junk shops were best for glassware.
Ahh yes, the video I've been waiting for.
Hi Anders
Great video on glasses, but I have to tell you I am the Ice King for my Monday golf group thanks to your video on how to make clear ice. There are eight of us who have been playing golf together on Mondays. The course is open, but the club house is closed on Mondays, so we take turns hosting the food and beverage for after golf down at our course-side marina. For the last outing I was host and became the host favorite with single-malt scotch and a great bourbon because I made clear ice to use with our beverages. My wife thinks I hog the refrigerator freezer, so I ordered my own freezer just to make clear ice. Thanks again for the tutelage. Happy pours. Michael
Someone somewhere is upset you didn't include your eyeglasses, probably. Great video! Seeing that martini glass got me thinking, it would be fun to see a video on the Vesper Martini with the new James Bond film coming out
Yessssssssss I’ve been waiting on this video 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Great Video! Cheers from the UK and keep up the great content
Great vid, I definitely am partial to a good rocks glass along with the coup and Nick & Nora.
Death & co has some lovely albeit pricey options.
Hi Anders, thanks for your videos ! and happy new year
Actually I would start with INAO glass. Then go for the 3 basic.
the INAO is a glass is sitting between red wine balon and champagne flute, made especially for oenologist need. (seeing the color of wine, but smaller opening to keep all the smell)
I am also obsessed with glassware, much to my wife's chagrin. And man, you spoke to me in a kindred spirit sort of way... I mean what martini can't be consumed in a Nick & Nora... and honestly it's great for sour style drinks too. I drink everything out of them. Margaritas, Aviations, Whiskey Sours, Cosmos... in the stemmed category, if you could only have one, Nick & Nora is the waaaaay toooooo gooooooooooo!!!
Great Video, as always. I have the same problems with the Martini glas, but now I know what to do ;)
Wow I was just trying to google and figure out what glassware you were using last night to little avail. So thanks!
This was amazing. Thank you.
I'm with you - the Nick and Nora is my fave glass.
Great video, thx!
I 100% agree with you about the top 3 glasses to have.
Great minds think alike, Carl! Cheers!
Fun! I'm glad I found you
My go-to for neat whiskey is the Libbey Duratuff 7 oz Gibraltar.
Gotta love the slight but very telling pause after "it's a slippery slope" 😂 Another great video, Anders!
6:00 - what's important is REALLY that always - regardless of glasswar - ALWAYS go in pairs. 2-4-6-8 ("ain't never too late")! But glassware as as a subject is really something so friggin' personal. No wonder there are millions of different manufacturers out there; always something for someone! I, for instance, don't like glassware with engravings, decorations, carvings and what-nots and "sure" there are always exceptions but as a rule of thumb I always go for the clearest of the clear ones.
Thin & pristine nick&noras kick ass, heavy af tumblers as well. Bonus ditto on the thrift shop comment in the end, the best place to hunt down "vintage" glassware to suit anyone's home bar!
Great vid, but overall it goes down on personal preference and how to employ such items at home!
Thank you so much!!
When I saw the bottles you used for your juices, they appeared to look exactly like some bottles that I obtained with pre-mixed cocktails from Bittercube and Heirloom here in Milwaukee, so they might know where to purchase them those bottles. The cocktails were pretty good too, including an alchermes spritz and a genepey collins
Anders, as a French person I thank and commend you for using the right pronunciation. A "coupe" (a cup) does not have an accent, unlike "coupé" (adjective meaning "cut") that does.
EXCELLENT video.
ANDERS!!!! This is perfect!!! Although I don't work at a bar, I still use my good glassware. There's nothing like nice glassware. Thrift store, here I come!!!!
Hey Tim!! See what you can find - there’s always some great ones out there. Good luck my friend!
I think one of the main reasons I watch your videos is the aesthetic ... and choosing the right glasses is one of the key factors.
Nick and Nora glass, what a revelation that was as soon as I got my hands on a set, cannot agree more on that being a staple. Also silly imperial system, I was with the calculator open going 4.5x30, 5.5x30 etc 🤣 Great vid as always, thank you!
Really very interesting..... knowledge
Subscribed because you mentioned the correct French usage
Great video, Anders! I have trouble remembering which size glass, fits best with different cocktails.
Fast forward 2 years and this video has 500,000 views. Nicely done.
Yessss, Anders! Nick and Nora all the way!
Thank you!!!
Hi Anders, A great video as always... If you get time, can you do a video about storing and shelf life of the syrups, and maybe even the shelf life of Liqueurs like Drambuie?
I am sometimes hesitant to spend money on something that will be used infrequently and then be possibly unusable next time I come to use it.
Thank you, and I look forward to your next video.
Anders great video. What do you recommend for glass storage bottles for juice/syrups/etc. you use in your mixing? What has proven itself over time? Thanks.
We use highball and low ball glasses for our everyday glasses. Then when I want a cocktail, I have them!
I have ditched most glass as a medium for cocktail cups and use ceramic. To me, Ceramics/pottery looks better and is more interesting to hold. Brings a lot more visual excitement to the experience.
So many glasses it's hard to pick a favorite lol I love my low ball though there are so many cool variations
Can’t go wrong with a good lowball. Thanks, Tyler!
Amazing video
Nice vid! I have built an impressive glassware collection exclusively from Thrift Stores. I've even found awesome crystal and glass decanter sets!
