About this deal

It's always a good idea to pour a cold drink into a cold glass. While making your martini in a shaker or mixing glass, add a scoop of ice to the glass to let it chill. Then, discard the ice before straining the drink into the glass. Alternatively, store a few glasses in your fridge to keep them cold and handy at all times. Kate Dingwall is an experienced wine and spirits writer with a concerningly large glassware collection. She loves a Gibson martini. It’s your choice! Traditionally, a martini is made with gin, and purists would agree. You can, however, opt for vodka or a split-base martini.

Use of the glass became widespread beginning in the late 1980s, when bartender Dale DeGroff had several made for the Rainbow Room restaurant in New York City. The design was found in a 1930s catalog under the name "Little Martini"; DeGroff was looking for a small, delicate glass to counter the large conical martini glasses popular at the time. DeGroff's protégé Audrey Saunders spread the use of the glass to other bars in subsequent years. In the present day, the glass is found in numerous manufacturer catalogs and in upscale bars across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

There are two ways: First, keep a martini glass in your fridge. Alternatively, while you’re building your martini in a shaker or mixing tin, fill your martini glass with ice to chill it. The glass is now produced by numerous manufacturers, and sold by notable companies including Riedel and Crate & Barrel. Variations have emerged, including etchings, silver or gold lined rims, and acrylic versions of the glass. [1] Use [ edit ]

In keeping with the old-school coupe shape, these glasses are quite small, holding just over 4 ounces each. That's enough volume for a decent-sized martini, but instead of making a double, you're going to have to mix a second when you finish the first. Your martini should be filled to cover 85 to 95% of the glass. This will ensure the glass is full but will also allow room for the inevitable sloshing and occasional spilling. We felt this particular iteration of the coupe glass to be an excellent entry-level option because it's sturdy, heavy, and affordable, with a design that's welcoming without being overly fussy. Plus, with a 7-ounce capacity, the coupes feature a standard lip and solid pressed glass construction. The glass held a generous 6 ounces (7 technically, with room for a wash line). As you can probably guess, the most common material for a martini glass is, err, glass. There are many different formulations that vary in strength and price, however, so not every type of glass is the same. And then there's crystal, a special form of glass made with added minerals that give it extra strength and sparkle. While crystal is pricier than regular glass, it’s sturdier and will last longer. Other martini "glasses" can be made of more unusual materials like plastic, steel, or ceramic. Most martini glasses are made from glass or crystal. Plastic stemware is not ideal for martinis. Glass martini glasses are more common and usually less expensive. Crystal can be spun very thin, which makes for stemware with an elegant and luxurious look and feel — a thin edge can also make the spirit’s subtle flavors easier to notice.The innovative tumbler of the functional glass collection Riedel Bar is specially made for the standard ice cube as well as the large format ice. We loved the durability of these glasses and the fact that they're dishwasher safe, too. And the glass is small enough that garnishes perch perfectly on the edge.
