In the LUSINI online store, you will find exactly the glasses you need for your bar.

Long drink glasses - the versatile ones

These drinking glasses, also known as highball glasses, are designed for classic long drinks in which spirits are mixed with drinks containing soda, e.g. a mojito. Long drink glasses are typically tall and have a cylindrical shape. As large cocktail glasses, they are not only suitable for mixed drinks, but also for fruity cocktails.

Tumblers - the sturdy ones

Tumblers are perfect for classics such as White Russian or Vodka Sour. However, the glasses can also be used for spirits on ice. What sets tumblers apart is their thick base and rather robust design. This ensures that drinks served with ice stay cold for longer. In the LUSINI online store, you can choose the right tumbler from a range of crystal, classic glass, with or without engraving.

Martini glasses - the filigree ones

Martini glasses are not only suitable for cocktail specialties with Martini. The wide stemmed glasses can also be used as margarita glasses or as a cocktail bowl for a daiquiri or Manhattan. Martini glasses are also known as "cocktail glasses" due to their tapered shape at the bottom. These glasses are not to be compared with champagne goblets. A martini glass has more of an inverted cone shape, while the goblet has rounded glass walls.

Gin and tonic glasses - a bulbous classic with a stem

Gin and tonic glasses are balloon glasses and are suitable for all cocktails with gin. Of course, the glasses can also be used for other, especially sparkling mixed drinks. This glass is ideal for garnishing a cocktail with fruit. Gin and tonic glasses are typically stemmed and bulbous. This makes them similar to wine glasses. However, the glass wall is thicker than that of a wine glass.

Moscow Mule mugs - the legends

These tumblers are specially designed for the cocktail of the same name. The cocktail is traditionally served with lots of ice cubes and therefore very cold. For this reason, the inventors of the Moscow Mule gave this cocktail the name of the supposedly coldest city in the world. Traditionally, the Moscow Mule mug is a copper mug. This material is even better at retaining the cold. The modern version of this mug is made of high-quality stainless steel. Moscow Mule mugs can also be used for other cocktails and mixed drinks. They impress with their special look and material.

In addition to these standard glasses, there are also fancy cocktail glasses here in the store, which are characterized by their special shape. Some also call them "fancy glasses". Quite a few claim that these glasses are the typical cocktail glass. Piña Colada or a Planter's Punch, for example, are often served in them.

Common shapes for cocktail glasses

Classically, cocktail glasses come in two shapes:

• Stemmed glasses: These glasses are slightly more delicate, such as martini glasses. The glasses are suitable for classics such as the vodka martini, but also for creamy cocktails or champagne-based cocktails.
• Tumblers: These glasses are more suitable for heavy cocktails such as the White Russian. The typical beaker is the tumbler, the elongated shape is the long drink glass.

Practical: buy cocktail glasses in a set

Bars and lounges in particular usually need many cocktail glasses of one type. After all, the glasses should not have to be rinsed before the next order has to be prepared. Here at LUSINI, you can order cocktail glasses online as a set. This way, you can easily stock up on glasses without having to add individual glasses to your shopping cart.

How can I decorate cocktail glasses?

There are many different ways to decorate cocktail glasses in style. As many cocktails contain fruit juices, it is a good idea to use exotic fruits such as pineapple or physalis to decorate them. Strawberries, orange slices or raspberries can also be draped around the rim of the glass. Some cocktails, such as the Bloody Mary, are served with a stalk of celery. Cocktail glasses decorated with a sugar rim look very elegant.

The basic rule for any cocktail glass decoration is that it must match the taste of the cocktail.
