Hi guys

I can admit it, I love glassware :) I just counted & I have 20 different types!

Tiki mugs are great but Id say regular clear glasses are the unsung heroes of tropical drinks - Hurricanes, Coupes, Martini, etc etc

There's such a lot of variety, they are readily available, you can see the drink ... it's another bit of fun really!

Id love to share pics & find out what glasses you like to serve because 'it just suits' :)

Here are some pics:

Left to right starting at the back = Champagne flute, Margarita, Martini, Coupe, Wine glass, straight Highball, Midball (?), small Brandy snifter, straight Tumbler, Glencairn glass, caballito, mini fish bowl

Left to right starting at the back = 15oz straight jam jar, 24oz wine glass, 13oz hurricane glass, 24oz skull, 15oz tiki face goblet, 7oz coffee glass, 11oz straight jam jar, my rum sipping glass

I use the jars for drinks that you shake but don't strain e.g. fog cutters in the big one, mai tais in the smaller ones. I also use them to teach people to make their own sours!

The big wine glass & big skull are huge - I usually use them when I think 'I like that so much Ill have a double'. Hmmm, double Missionarys Downfall......

I use the coffee glasses for Three Dots, it just seems right - but it goes really quick so I make doubles in a highball instead :)

I make blended drinks in the tiki face goblet.

In the absence of an 'official' rum sipping glass I very happy with the IKEA'Ivrig' wine glass - its a cross between a brandy snifter & Glencairn glass, to its widest point it takes a 2.5oz pour

My favourite glass is probably my rum sipping glass - what's yours?
