Viski Cocktail Glasses

Viski Cocktail Glasses are barware, not a spirit, so what matters is how they're used. The listing doesn't give a capacity, material or set size, so check those against the product specifications before choosing a drink to pour. Cocktail glasses in this category are usually stemmed, with a wide bowl that exposes a lot of the drink's surface to the air. The stem is the practical feature. Holding it keeps your hand off the bowl, so a drink served up, meaning shaken or stirred with ice, strained and poured without ice, stays cold longer. Chill the glasses in the freezer for about ten minutes, or fill them with ice and water while you mix. A chilled glass suits drinks that are served cold and get no help from dilution once poured. Stemmed glasses like these usually suit the classic up cocktails: Martini, Manhattan, Daiquiri, Cosmopolitan, Gimlet and Sidecar. They also work for a Negroni or Old Fashioned served without ice, though a rocks glass is the better choice if you want a large cube in the drink. Fill the glass to just below the rim. A wide bowl spills easily, so a smaller pour carried carefully beats a full one. Hand-wash delicate stemware, and hold it by the bowl rather than the stem when drying so the stem doesn't snap.
