One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
Before the first sip hit the lips, the moments have already begun. Sometimes it's those special occasions that deserve to be celebrated with the best drinks, and sometimes it’s the saddest stories that need to be closed. Every time, everywhere, there is a story sometimes created in the temptations of tequila shots, beer biggies, witty whiskey, and wild wine; special thanks to the curve, weight, and the adrenaline rush sent by these luxury drinking glassware.
If there had been more party-lovers in the last moment of Titanic, it would have sunk with great celebration, nonstop. Truly, mood and glassware are the unsung heroes of every celebration. Hence, it is important to pick the right glass for the right moment, not because of the rules set, but because every glass has a different curve for different vibes and drinks. There is always the right glass for the moment you manifest, make sure it goes with style, simplicity, and sophistication.
In this guide, we will walk you through the world of luxurious and cinema-worthy glass sets, fancy and sophisticated cheers, and how to make the glasses compatible with the memories and drinks in making.
“The Godfather of Spirits”, Ft. Elegant Scotch Glass
Sinatra would never hum with utter happiness until it was the evening for scotch sips. Imagine the heavy pour landing straight in thick-bottomed glass, elevating the standards of the gathering. Scotch glasses are always special for the core party lovers.
Technically, they are also called with names like rock glass or low ball, these glasses are comparatively wider and have a heavy base, which is designed to cradle rich and slow-sipping scotch like single malt scotch.
But why choose these glasses for scotch, casual ones can work too?
Well, there is a difference between making things work and effortless hosting. Scotch has layers of peat, oak, smoke, and vanilla which needs to be justified. These drinking glasses have wide rims that give space to the rich aromas, while the shallow bowl makes it ideal for unchaotic pours or the soft entrance of oversized cubes.
How to hold it?
Grip it around the base, a little lower for better weight support. This is not the type of glass you can raise, just cradle it in loose moments.
Perfect Pairings:
Without any doubt, just bring tempting and strong flavoured aromas like smoked Gouda, grilled lamb, and dark chocolate with sea salt, together.
“Call Me By Your Wine”, The Wine Glass
There is a famous saying, “Wine is for those, who love the scenic views even if they are in a grey room.”
Imagine watching a sunset in Santorini, Greece. The table is covered with satin cloth, the pasta’s al denta sit; simply a scene even IMDb would watch rewinding multiple times. But who’s the hero? Wine glass!
There’s an old money story in a wine glass narrating the richness of its slender stem and generous bowl. This type of glassware can evoke sweet feelings like romance, sweet manipulation, and much more. But again, does the shape and form actually contribute to the drinking experience?
It is a perfect example of beautiful and smart aromatic engineering.
The glass’s wider opening helps the red wine to oxygenate complex flavours like cherry, leather, and plum. Whereas its tighter tulip shape preserves the acidity and delicate notes of white wine.
How to hold it?
Hold it with the stem. Keeping the posture elegant, ensure the fingertips are not touching the bowl.
Perfect Pairings:
The theme should be classy. Add dishes like Mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken, grilled fish, or Burrata with tomatoes and berry tarts.
“Fast & Flavorious”, The Tequila Shot Glass
This is the point where introverts turn into extroverts into something wild. Perfect tequila shots and pairings can make the moment you can put into an album and laugh almost after 50 years. Short yet compelling!
The tequila shot glass is not shy. Rather it excites the vein and makes the celebration unfiltered. Shot glasses are small for a reason, they are actually designed with the intention to deliver the concentrated and actual spirit of tequila, all at once. No mercy. Thicker bases protect your palm from getting the chills, some glasses are tapered to accentuate aroma, and other are cylindrical in shape to serve with full utility.
How to hold it?
Pinch between thumb and index finger like you would hold a spark plug. Slip or sip depends on the mood, the company, and obviously the price of tequila (fingers crossed). And that’s it, a practice done for modern glassware.
Perfect Pairings:
Crunch is the soul of your tequila therapy. Add it in disguise of street tacos, grilled pineapple, ceviche with chilly, and salt and lime. We bet you will repeat the order even before it ends.
“Breakfast at Martini’s”, The Cocktail Glass
Shot 1, Take 4…
Simply, when the sips would look this pretty, who would control? Just a smirk of permission, a wink of allowance, and tributing laughter for the best of cocktails. Obviously, talking about its fancy dining table glassware, the v-shaped accent has along flaunting stem that reflects the beauty of every aromatic creation, be it martinis, cosmopolitans, or gimlets.
Beyond their beauty, these glasses are also perfect as it keep things crisp, and the wide brim allows the botanicals or citrus oils to perform their magic. While the stem holds your hands, keeping them away from the bowl to preserve the magical coolness inside. If yours does this also, they're the best glasses for cocktails.
How to hold?
Delicately by the stem. Tilt slightly and sip slowly. Bonus, if your pinky flirts with the air.
Perfect Pairings:
Adorn the table with oysters, olives, and caviar. Mini quiches, gougères, and citrus sorbet will surely add glam to the look and taste buds.
