But, having said that, there is absolutely no reason you can't serve your cocktail in whatever you want to serve it in. It's your cocktail, drink it how you want. I do agree with this. And i think Vics glass is really beautiful, but there are also others. The 2 faced glass i use sometimes when i want a large Mai Tai i like mostly because of its shape and heaviness. I just bought 2 black ones (not spray painted though) that i`ll use for other drinks. These glasses are everywhere on EBay. I like the black color on a mug or glass for a tiki drink because it imparts some "mystery" and is a nice background for colorful garnish.. That is for SOME drinks :wink: otherwise i prefer glasses so i can see the color of the drink.
