FWIW,

Other than some collectible mugs, I generally prefer to have (and serve in) glassware. For Tiki purposes, The Hukilau glassware (mostly DOFs, but some years they have had Collins glasses and snifters) is ideal. Otherwise MY choice (YMMV) is the Bormioli Strauss line for barware and the Michelangelo line for stemware, which are available in pretty much every size and shape.

My suggestion, IF you want some all-purpose glassware to attractively hold cocktails for a large crowd, go to restaurant supply websites (my choice is http://www.wasserstrom.com) and select a line you find attractive and then get a case of each style of glass you'll need for the sorts of cocktails you serve. At these sorts of sites, you're could get away with spending something like $20-$30 for a case of 12 glasses, although sometimes you'll have to buy a case of 36 or 48.

Normally the selections are pretty huge, so you may actually spend a LOT of time deciding.

HTH somebody!
