Bartending Glassware

bartending glassware

Glassware is a key component of bartending and helps to showcase a variety of drinks. It also reflects the image of your establishment and can be used to bring in more customers.

Certain cocktails, such as the margarita or tom collins, have their own glasses and others, like the hurricane, are served in generic cocktail glasses. The type of glass chosen will depend on the characteristics of the drink, such as alcohol content or carbonation levels.

The size and shape of a glass is also important, as some drinks are meant to be served in a specific size, while others are not. For example, a narrow champagne flute keeps the drink’s signature bubbles while a martini glass keeps it cool without using ice.

Margarita Glass – A glass with a stem is perfect for serving a margarita, and there are many different styles to choose from. Stems come in a variety of shapes, from straight to curvy and zigzag, so you can find something that will match your bar decor.

Martini Glass – A martini glass is a classic looking drink that is usually shaken instead of stirred and it’s also available in various designs. It’s a great choice for those who want to make a bold statement with their drink, and is the glass of choice in bars that are geared toward a more sophisticated crowd.

Wine Glass – The standard wine glass, often found in bars, is designed to preserve the temperature of the liquid while also enhancing the aroma of the beverage. There are several types of glass for different varieties of wines, including reds and whites.
