Glassware

Glassware

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.

Basic Glassware

Highball Glass Highball Glass: You can use this for mixing almost any drink. A good stand-in for similar looking glasses.
 
Old Fashioned Glass Old Fashioned Glass / aka. Lowball or Rocks: For shots of alcohol over ice primarily, also for smaller drinks.
 
Red Wine Glass Red Wine Glass: Use for red or white wine (if you don't have a white wine glass), or water.
 
Shot Glass Shot Glass: Guess we don't really have to explain this one. Might buy a few extra of these, people tend to get a bit rowdy after continual use... (they tend to break with 'slammer' shots and flaming shots...)
 

Optional Glassware

Beer Mug Beer Mug: For beer or beer-shot combinations.
 
Beer Pilsner Beer Pilsner: This is traditionally for beer, but works well for serving large margaritas and the like.
 
Brandy Snifter 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 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 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 Collins Glass: For drinks that require something a bit larger than an old fashioned glass. These look good when frosted before serving.
 
Cordial Glass Cordial Glass: Generally for concentrated liqueurs...
 
Irish Coffee Glass 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 Parfait Glass: Similar to the Irish coffee glass, is generally used for drinks with ice cream or fruit in them.
 
Pousse Cafe Glass Pousse Cafe Glass: Usually used for layered drinks.
 
Sherry Glass Sherry Glass: Again, what can we say...
 
Sour Glass Sour Glass: use for sours.
 
White Wine Glass White Wine Glass: A bit smaller than red wine glasses with a slightly different shape to the bowl.
