LIQUOR, COCKTAIL AND MIXED DRINK SERVICE

Hurricane Glasses

Function: These glasses are shaped like the old-fashioned hurricane lamps, and are designed to hold fruity cocktails and other drink concoctions.

Margarita Glasses

Function: Margarita glasses are usually large with a bowl shape, and sometimes have a smaller bowl below the large bowl for a decorative touch. The glass is wide so that the rim can be coated in salt or sugar to accent the drink. 

 

Martini And Cocktail Glasses

Shot, Shooter and Whiskey Glasses

Function: These glasses can be used to hold single liquors or liquor concoctions. Shooter glasses are usually taller than shot glasses, while whiskey glasses are wide enough to fit ice. The bottoms of the glasses are extra thick, so that they absorb the shock of being slammed on a surface. 

Brandy Snifters

Function: These glasses have a shorter stem than wine glasses and are designed to hold brandy, a spirit that is made from distilled wine and often served after dinner. The glasses are capable of holding much more liquid than should be poured. Fill the glass about a third of the way up so that the brandy can breathe in the glass. 

Cosmopolitan Glasses

Function: Ideal for holding cosmos or other mixed drinks, cosmopolitan glasses resemble a stemless cocktail glass. 






WINE,CHAMPAGNE, SHERRY GLASSES

Red Wine Glasses

Function: Red wine glasses are designed to have a larger rim so that the person drinking the wine can smell the aroma while sipping the wine. Stemless wine glasses can also be used for red wines, since the wine is served room temperature and will not quickly grow warm in the guests hand. 

White Wine Glasses

Function: White wine glasses have a smaller rim than the red. The stemmed glasses keep chilled wines cooler longer, as the person drinking the wine can hold the stem instead of holding the glass. 

Sherry Glasses

Function: Sherry glasses resemble red wine glasses, only they are a bit smaller and are made to hold fortified wines, like port, or wines with a strong aroma. Sherry has a distinct aroma that gets trapped in these special glasses. 

Glass Goblet 

Function: Goblets have a shorter stem than wine glasses, but can still be used to hold wine or sherry. They can also be used to hold water or other beverages. 

Champagne Glasses

Function: These glasses are usually fluted with a tall and narrow bowl for holding champagne. The small opening helps keep the carbonation inside of the glass longer, so that it keeps the drink from going flat. These glasses are great for holding mimosas and other cocktails as well as champagne.
