Guide to glassware

When it comes to your drink-in-hand, not all glassware is created equal. Sipping your favorite cocktail out of its proper glass only serves to enhance your imbibing experience. The shape, size and functionality of your glass all ultimately affect how your drink feels, tastes and smells — the correct glassware can even extend the life of bubbles or help keep flavors balanced as ice melts. Some cocktails are inextricably tied to the glass they are served in, while others work well in several styles.  

Unsure which glass goes with your cocktail of choice? This guide will give you a solid idea of when to grab what glass, depending on what you’re drinking.
