As any good bartender knows, choosing the correct glass is just as
important as the alcohol that goes into it. In today's cocktail society,
glassware can make or break a drinking or dining experience. Especially here in New York.

The better the glass obviously the better the appearance of the cocktail. There are an array of glassware all which have different shapes and sizes, all serving their own purpose. As a bartender, becoming familiar with which glass belongs to what drink is beneficiary to both you and the customer. They receive a higher caliber drink, which in turn reflects back on your bartending skills. Glasses, like people, have personalities - swank, elegant, sexy and delicate and they are nearly as important as their contents. While a glass's shape has the ability to influence the actual taste of a drink, its style can subconsciously enhance the experience, thus making form and function work in unison.

All glasses have been designed for a specific task, for example:

1. Hi-Ball glasses for long cool refreshing drinks
2. Cocktail glasses for short sharp, or stronger drinks.
3. Champagne coupes for creamy after-dinner style drinks, toasts, etc.

4. Lowballs are usually reserved for an unmixed drink served over ice     or with water in a short glass or cocktails having few ingredients.

The stem of the glass has been designed so you may hold it, leaving the bowl free of fingerprints and not take the chill off the glass. All cocktail glasses should be kept in a refrigerator or chilled with ice and water while you prepare the drink. Another example of why it is important to attend quality bartending schools.

Right from the start at our Westchester  New York bartending schools, the Academy of Professional Bartending®, you learn the importance of the proper glass and techniques used for creating the perfect drink in every class.
