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
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.
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
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
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!
This. This is the only way to shop for glassware unless you’re a wine enthusiast (like me) with a huge budget (unlike me) and you’re looking for a huge crystal Bordeaux glass or one of those super elegant loopy decanters
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.
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
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 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 😅
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”
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).
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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.)
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).
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!
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
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!
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! :)
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.
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!!!
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!😉
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
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!!
Anders - Check out the Oregon Martini glass - a nice mix of the two martini styles and has the delicacy of a nick and nora. It is a bit larger, which may not be your preference, but we love them. We also drink champagne out of them.
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.
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. 🤵 🍸
Great video Anders. My favorite glass is the 3.5 oz coupe. It feels like it's own little fantasy world. Since watching your channel though I've been jonesing for a nick & nora glass. I'll have to treat myself to the one you linked. Flea markets are also a fun place to find funky glassware. Cheers!
Thrift stores are the absoloute best way to get and test new glassware. It's super cheap and you can find really nice and unique glass. And often there's 6-12 of the same kind. Only issue can be replacing if they break. Only shot glasses hvae I bought from a store becasue I need a lot of those, but then again, I found 18 identical and really nice port/dessert wine glasses in thrift.
Love it!! I know why you said "pop". It's a Midwest thang. I've also been told that "low ball" and "high ball" are Midwest terms, or of Midwest origin, but that might be carrying things a bit far. Anyway, love your channel!! Have you done a video on using a bar spoon properly to stir? I'm still working on this. Cheers!
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.
My kitchen doesn't have any more space for glasses. I have 4 cut crystal snifters (flea market) (My fave, I love drinking cognac out of them before a meal with friends.)though that I love using and a few other cut crystal ones that I got at auction. They're a lot of fun to look at. Thanks for the great video! Nice collection!
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.
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'm a big fan of the standard pint glass... Great for big pours of anything that would go in a highball. Gotta have lowballs/old fashioned glasses, for sure. I've made many a trip through the thrift store, and can confirm that it's a slippery slope.
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".
Fantastic video Anders. Initially for space reasons I was trying to get just some multi-purpose glasses. You should generally buy based on what you like to drink, but at the end this is a dangerous road and even if I am now struggling with space I want more and more glasses. 😁 As you said, thrift stores a great way to get cheap and often unique glassware. Cheers!
@@AndersErickson but often some great new finds appear and we aways manage to find the space to squeeze few more. hehe Cheers and have a great weekend!
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.
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!
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
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)
Great video. I've been down the thrift store slippery slope and have no more space in the kitchen cabinet 😂 And it's definitely a coup spelt with an e haha
Just moved into a new house and one smaller cabinet was perfect to feature my glassware. I filled most of it with my lowballs (depending on the drink), highballs, coupes, and some fun shot glasses with Christmassy Sloths on them, but those footed rocks glasses look great - the 12 mile limit/vieux carre have been new favorites from your channel. May need to pick up some of those...
I think I've seen your citrus bottle online as a "187 ml Champagne bottle". I like to use them for bottling a carbonated cocktail to give to friends or have a few days later; will have to check to see that my speed pourers fit and 👨🏻🍳😘
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.
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

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.

I am from France and I have to say that your pronunciation of "coupe" is perfect! There is no "accent aiguë" 😉

I have to agree. No garnish necessary in most cases - the glass is pretty enough. Thanks, Vino!
Glassware is such a slippery slope. Your glassware always look incredible -- great video!!

Love the thrift store shout out. There’s nothing like finding glassware that’s inexpensive at a thrift store. My favorite thing to do.
I love the look and feel of the coupe!
I enjoy the way you talk about things. Nice presentation

Great breakdown. :) And yes, second hand glassware shopping is a wonderfully slippery slope. :) So is inheriting old glassware from relatives.
I just got some highball and martini glass to go with my rocks glasses. Rocks glasses really are the one essential glass.
I really enjoy your explanations and your fans
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!

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 😉
Nice vid! I have built an impressive glassware collection exclusively from Thrift Stores. I've even found awesome crystal and glass decanter sets!
Brilliant video as always, Anders! Thanks for putting it together.
woow thanks a lot Anders. you just cured my curiosity on the types of glasses to build my home bar
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!
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
Another fantastic video Anders! I need to expand my glassware collection
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.
Fun! I'm glad I found you
Nice video. Definitely my top 3 but I'd trade the martini back in for nick! Nice to see glassware get some attention.
Great Video, as always. I have the same problems with the Martini glas, but now I know what to do ;)
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 100% agree with you about the top 3 glasses to have.
Great minds think alike, Carl! Cheers!
Super great video! I love the content and the fact that you see the need of knowing your glassware 👍🥃
I find great glasses at thrift stores and it is so much cheaper that way. good tip.
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!
Such a good and important topic... Also maybe cleaning and maintenance for glassware at some point? Mostly for cleaning syrup bottles 😂
Great video. I've been down the thrift store slippery slope and have no more space in the kitchen cabinet 😂 And it's definitely a coup spelt with an e haha
Definitely agree, thrift stores are the BEST for glasses. I've built a nice collection of 15 glasses or so and not one cost me over $1.50
Just moved into a new house and one smaller cabinet was perfect to feature my glassware. I filled most of it with my lowballs (depending on the drink), highballs, coupes, and some fun shot glasses with Christmassy Sloths on them, but those footed rocks glasses look great - the 12 mile limit/vieux carre have been new favorites from your channel. May need to pick up some of those...
You got me beat with your Christmassy sloth shot glasses! Cheers, Scott!
I think I've seen your citrus bottle online as a "187 ml Champagne bottle". I like to use them for bottling a carbonated cocktail to give to friends or have a few days later; will have to check to see that my speed pourers fit and 👨🏻🍳😘
This was so helpful! I have Nick and Nora glasses on the way! Thanks for all the information! Cheers 🍻
Good choice! I think you'll love the Nick and Nora glasses - I sure do 😊
@@AndersErickson you inspired me to get them! Thanks again for all the fun and informative content!
EXCELLENT video.
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.
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
