What is the glass for drinking cocktails like?
There are different styles of colorful cocktails. Some are warm, some are mysterious, red-orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. There doesn’t seem to be a gorgeous color that can’t be mixed with a cocktail. Colorful cocktails bloom in their beauty in a pure and bright glass, be it a triangle or a flute. There are many kinds of cocktail glasses, among which the martini glass is a typical cocktail glass. Different cocktails are served in cocktail glasses of different shapes and sizes.
There are two types of wine glasses, one is a larger one for drinking red wine. The second is to drink a smaller amount of white wine. The triangle-shaped goblet is used for drinking cocktails, the thin goblet is for champagne, and the saucer-shaped glass is also for Champagne. The cup with the short feet is very large, and the smaller one is called the brandy cup, which is used for drinking brandy. Without feet, the body of the cup is very high and the mouth is the same size. And cocktails, long drinks and more. Ditto the glass with a large mouth, a small bottom, and a very short glass called a whiskey glass, also called a classical glass. For whisky drinkers, some people also use it to drink gin, vodka, tequila, etc. There is also a small glass like our country’s liquor, called the spirit glass. There are also test-tube-like ones called test-tube cups for drinking cocktails.
A good wine glass can reveal the magnificent color of the wine, which is pleasing to the eye, and can gather the aroma of the wine in the wine glass for a long time. Westerners also believe that it is a “wine ritual” to use which cup to drink. For example, a long round goblet is used for red wine, and a semicircular goblet is used for white wine. If you only drink one kind of wine, a semicircular goblet is generally suitable. The extra-long semicircular goblet is specially used for Rhine and Mossell. For liquor, the funnel-shaped wine glass is specially used to drink stronger wines, such as Sherry and Port, the half-height belly wine glass is specially used to drink spirits such as brandy, and the long-legged glass is suitable for drinking champagne. In addition, beer is often used in large glasses with handles, and there are many styles of cocktails, which can be selected according to the preparation.
Unlike wine glasses, cocktail glasses should not be too thin. Of course, the thinner the glass, the better. Preferably thin enough to be non-existent, as this allows for a better view of the wine’s color. Otherwise, the cocktail glass will melt the ice faster and affect the taste of the cocktail.
