玻璃器皿
第一个饮用器皿是由陶器、皮革、木材、金属制成的——或者在紧要关头——诸如破裂的椰子壳、动物角等物品。第一个“玻璃”是由黑色火山玻璃自然制成的。据信，从公元前 2000 年左右开始，美索不达米亚（今叙利亚北部和伊拉克）的人们将火山玻璃熔化，然后将其倒入模具中，制成碗和珠子等物品。罗马人在公元前 50 年左右改进了这个想法，将熔化的球粘在空心管的末端，然后将其吹成形状。到 1400 年代，玻璃制造技术大大进步。在 1600 年代，尤其是 1700 年代，大多数家庭都发现了优雅的玻璃器皿。
在 1800 年代初期，酒吧老板只有大约五种酒吧眼镜。到本世纪末，一流的酒吧应有尽有，有时总共有二十五种酒吧酒杯。
基本鸡尾酒玻璃器皿
一杯是您或调酒师在调制鸡尾酒之前首先会拿起的东西。现在，当然，你可以用回收的泡菜罐喝一杯麦泰，但如果你生活在文明世界，你会想在他们合适的玻璃器皿里喝鸡尾酒。在家里，您可以使用精致的鸡尾酒玻璃器皿，但在大多数酒吧中，您会发现更耐用的玻璃器皿，原因很明显。
坚固的玻璃器皿
高球
七到九盎司。大多数酒吧不备有真正的高球杯，只使用短的老式玻璃杯，称它们为高球杯。从 1930 年代到 1950 年代的老式电影经常展示被认为是高球杯的东西。
岩石
大约 5 到 8 盎司，用于射击游戏，当然还有加冰块的饮料，例如单烈酒（通常是威士忌）或两瓶烈酒，例如 Rusty Nail 或 Black Russian。五盎司的岩石玻璃非常适合射手。射手有不含酒精的混合物，因此他们需要比小酒杯更多的空间。射手的例子包括 Kamikaze、Lemondrops、Pineapple Upside Down Cake、Red Headed Slut 等。
老式的
一种 9 到 12 盎司的短而结实的玻璃杯，非常适合用于苏格兰威士忌和水、杜松子酒和汤力水等高球，当然还有老式的。有时它被称为低球玻璃。
双老式
一种 12 到 14 盎司的短而坚固的玻璃杯，比老式玻璃杯大一点。不喜欢高脚杯尴尬的人会喜欢这些。它也被称为桶形玻璃。
柯林斯
一种 10 到 12 盎司的玻璃（也称为烟囱玻璃），又高又薄，边是直的。
射击
一盎司半到两盎司的短玻璃杯，专为烈酒拍摄而设计。镜头都是精神。示例包括 B-52、Buttery Nipple、Tequila、Fireball、威士忌等。
高脚玻璃器皿
白兰地酒瓶
嗅探器的尺寸为 5 到 24 盎司。它们用于白兰地或干邑；然而，许多烈酒可以装在酒杯中，包括 Sambuca（别忘了三颗咖啡豆）、Grand Marnier、优质龙舌兰酒、单一麦芽苏格兰威士忌等。有些酒吧喜欢用酒杯盛装 Brandy Alexanders 和 Milk Punch .
香槟长笛
这将是一个 6 盎司的玻璃杯（用于倒 5 盎司），用于盛装香槟和香槟酒。
香槟碟/双门轿跑车
一个 6 盎司的玻璃杯，用于盛装香槟和香槟酒。
香槟小号
一种 6 盎司装香槟和香槟饮料的玻璃杯，是一种长笛。它很高，呈V形，像喇叭一样。
香槟郁金香
用于装香槟和香槟饮料的六盎司玻璃杯，是一种长笛。它有一个弯曲的形状。
鸡尾酒杯/双门轿车
鸡尾酒跑车的大小可以从 5 到 10 盎司不等。老式双门轿跑车偏小，而现代双门轿跑车会更大一些。
鸡尾酒杯/锥形
这些锥形鸡尾酒杯通常被称为马提尼酒杯。它们的大小范围为 6 到 12 盎司。大型马提尼酒杯适用于添加了搅拌器的鸡尾酒。
亲切
亲切的玻璃杯将是一个最多可容纳两盎司的小玻璃杯。
飓风
一种 12 到 22 盎司的飓风灯形玻璃，用于盛装热带饮料。
爱尔兰咖啡
一个 7 到 10 盎司的玻璃杯，用于盛热饮，或者传统版本，它是一种没有把手的高脚玻璃杯（后者用于 Buena Vista 咖啡馆，他们每天制作 2,000 杯爱尔兰咖啡）。如果您在家中使用较大的杯子，则需要将酒量加倍以补偿额外的尺寸。
玛格丽塔
玛格丽塔酒杯有一个阔边帽形状的轿跑车，重量在 14 到 16 盎司之间。还有其他带有绿色仙人掌茎的玛格丽塔酒杯和用厚厚的气泡墨西哥玻璃制成的酒杯。有些酒吧只会使用普通玻璃，例如老式双层玻璃 或品脱玻璃。我也见过使用 Poco Grande 眼镜的酒吧。
波科格兰德
Poco Grande 玻璃杯是 Hurricane 玻璃杯的短版。大约 14 盎司，一些酒吧会用这种玻璃杯来盛装他们所有的热带饮料，包括玛格丽塔酒。
冲杯
一个潘趣杯大约有 6 到 8 盎司，因为潘趣酒应该很浓，而且杯子里没有冰。
雪莉酒
一种 4 到 5 盎司的玻璃杯，用于盛放雪利酒和波特酒。适当的份量是三盎司。
葡萄酒
酒杯可以是七到二十四盎司。大多数酒吧都有一个用于红葡萄酒和白葡萄酒的通用酒杯，但“酒吧”通常会使用大碗杯装红葡萄酒和细长杯装白葡萄酒。一杯适当的酒是六盎司；然而，有些酒吧会倒五盎司，因为他们想从一瓶酒中取出五杯。
新奇
椰子
为玻璃器皿制作椰子杯的最佳方法是使用带锯锯掉椰子的顶部四分之一并留在椰子肉中。
菠萝
把菠萝的顶部切掉，然后把肉去壳。为了使脱壳更容易，投资菠萝去核器。
蒂基
Tiki 马克杯有多种形状和尺寸，最大 24 盎司。
新奇类别是无限的你的想象力。
有趣的鸡尾酒玻璃器皿事实
1884 年，纽约的 G. Winter Brewing Company 发布了一份调酒师指南，列出了一流沙龙应具备的 25 多种玻璃器皿。
据说，带柄的轿跑车玻璃是仿照玛丽·安托瓦内特的胸部设计的；然而，这不可能是真的，因为玻璃是在她出生前将近一百年发明的。
直到 1990 年代后期，当风味马提尼热潮发生时，才生产出 12 盎司的锥形马提尼酒杯。玻璃生产商必须将它们做得更大，以便添加的混合器可以放入玻璃中。
16 盎司品脱玻璃杯是最受欢迎的通用玻璃杯，因为它可用于啤酒、混合杯、水、波士顿摇壶的后半部分以及高（和双高）饮料，如长岛冰茶、柠檬水、热带饮料、血腥玛丽等等。
2008 年 1 月 25 日，世界上最大的香槟喷泉在比利时 Wijnegem 购物中心用 43,680 个玻璃杯建成。
玻璃器皿
In 1884, the G. Winter Brewing Company of New York published a bartender's guide listing more than twenty-five types of glassware that a first-rate saloon should stock. Apparently, “Just put it in a pint glass” wasn't going to cut it at the fancy places.
The famous story that the Champagne coupe was modeled after Marie Antoinette's bosom is a myth. Coupe-style glasses existed long before Marie Antoinette was born in 1755, and there's no evidence that her anatomy had anything to do with their design.
Great story. Terrible timeline.
However, some modern Champagne glasses really HAVE been modeled after famous breasts. Claudia Schiffer participated in a breast-inspired Dom Pérignon vessel designed by Karl Lagerfeld, and Kate Moss later had a coupe created from a mold of her breast.
So the legend was false...and then somebody apparently said, “We can fix that.”
The V-shaped Martini glass is much older than the 1990s. The angular glass debuted at the 1925 Paris International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, reflecting the geometric Art Deco style. Early versions were even used for Champagne.
But the giant Martini glass really did become a star during the flavored-Martini craze of the late 1990s-early 2000s. Cosmos, Appletinis, Chocolate Martinis, Birthday Cake Martini, and every imaginable Flavor-tini needed more room for mixers and elaborate garnishes, so oversized glasses became common. Eventually you needed two hands and a spotter to get one back to the table.
There's actually a practical reason stemmed cocktail glasses have stems. Holding the stem keeps your warm hand away from the bowl, helping a cocktail served without ice stay colder longer.
The stem isn't just there to make you look sophisticated while telling a story with your other hand.
The Nick & Nora glass gets its name from fictional married detectives Nick and Nora Charles, the cocktail-loving couple made famous by the 1934 movie The Thin Man. They solved murders while drinking Martinis.
Nothing pairs with homicide quite like gin and vermouth.
The pint glass may be the workhorse of the American bar. It can hold beer, water, lemonade, soda, Bloody Marys and tall cocktails, and it's commonly paired with a metal shaker tin as part of a Boston shaker.
One glass, eight jobs.
Basically the barback of glassware. Plus, it's stackable!
Cocktail glasses used to be much smaller. Vintage cocktail and Nick & Nora glasses commonly hold only around 4–6 ounces, a fraction of some enormous Martini glasses that became fashionable later.
Our grandparents didn't necessarily drink less.
They just went back for another one.
The shape of a glass can affect your drinking experience. A wide opening exposes more of a drink to your nose, while a narrower opening can concentrate aromas. Thickness, size, temperature, and whether you hold the bowl or stem can also affect how you experience the drink.
Which means all those oddly shaped glasses aren't entirely bartenders showing off.
Only partially.
Bartenders commonly abbreviate a Double Old-Fashioned glass as “DOF.” It's simply a larger Old-Fashioned glass and is especially useful for drinks that require lots of ice, including some tiki cocktails.
Bartenders love abbreviations.
Mostly because we're busy.
Tiki mugs became collectible objects in their own right. Many were created specifically for individual bars, restaurants, drinks, or characters, and vintage examples are now collected as pieces of mid-century drinking culture.
Some people steal them from bars.
Those people are known professionally as customers we remember.
There are actually two categories:
Customers we remember fondly.
And customers whose face we could pick out of a police lineup.
The world's largest cocktail wasn't served in a glass—it was made in a gigantic cocktail shaker. In Sacramento in 2012, Nick Nicora created a record-setting 10,499-gallon Margarita.
Salt the rim on that.
In 2021, Dubai took Champagne towers to an entirely different level. Atlantis, The Palm, Moët & Chandon, and Luuk Broos Events constructed a pyramid from 54,740 drinking glasses. It stood more than 26 feet tall and took 55 hours over five days to build.
The previous record was 50,116 glasses.
Because apparently 50,116 just wasn't festive enough.
After thousands of years of developing specialized glassware for wine, beer, Champagne, spirits, and cocktails, modern craft bartenders started buying mismatched glasses at thrift stores again.
Thousands of years of glassmaking innovation...
and we're back at Goodwill looking for Grandma's coupes.
