The glasses you stock your bar with are completely up to you. If you want a
low-cost service, at least get some of the glasses in basic
section (this unfortunately gives a low-class look to your bar). For a little more style, consider expanding into the optional
section. If you can afford it, try to buy quality glassware that makes a nice
"ping" when you tap it. But for practical purposes go to the dollar
store in town, they have decent Turkish glasses of all types for a very cheap
price.
 |
Beer Mug: For beer or beer-shot combinations.
|
 |
Beer Pilsner: This is traditionally for beer, but works well for serving
large margaritas and the like.
|
 |
Brandy Snifter: What can we say? (It has that weird fat-lady form
because it is meant to be cupped with both hands in order to warm the Brandy
up a bit and give it better taste)
|
 |
Champagne Flute: The best way to serve champagne. The bowls allow the
fizziness to escape too quickly. Nothing worse than flat champagne...(The
best champagne is Andre! haha not really. Actually any champagne that is not
from the the region of 'Champagne' in France is not really champagne,
its sparkling white wine)...just f.y.i.
|
 |
Cocktail Glass: You can use this for serving many different cocktails.
In a desperate situation, you can also use it for serving martinis, but you should really
get true martini glasses (no picture available, its very similar but wider
on top).
|
 |
Collins Glass: For drinks that require something a bit larger than an
old fashioned glass. These look good when frosted before serving.
|
 |
Cordial Glass: Generally for concentrated liqueurs...
|
 |
Irish Coffee Glass: This makes almost any coffee or other hot drink look
good. Generally garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or
cinnamon.
|
 |
Parfait Glass: Similar to the Irish coffee glass, is generally used for
drinks with ice cream or fruit in them.
|
 |
Pousse Cafe Glass: Usually used for layered drinks.
|
 |
Sherry Glass: Again, what can we say...
|
 |
Sour Glass: use for sours.
|
 |
White Wine Glass: A bit smaller than red wine glasses with a slightly
different shape to the bowl.
