A majority of Americans are wine drinkers (58-60%). But also, many of us enjoy having a cocktail occasionally, don’t we? And … cocktail parties are a popular American event in a business setting, or in our home with a group of friends. Examples of favorite cocktails are: Martinis, Manhattans, Old-Fashioneds, Rob Roys, and champagne cocktails. Also, contemporary cocktail party beverages may include cosmopolitans and martinis, liquor served straight-up or on the rocks, wine, champagne, and sparkling mineral water. On these occasions, it is important to us that we have the appropriate glasses with which to serve the cocktails to our guests. To be clear, exactly what is a cocktail glass? … A cocktail glass (also mistakenly called a martini glass) is a stemmed glass which has a cone-shaped bowl placed upon a stem above a flat base. It is mainly used to serve cocktails. Its form is based upon the fact that all true cocktails are chilled and contain an aromatic element. Therefore, the stem allows the drinker to hold the glass without affecting the temperature of the drink, and the wide bowl places the surface of the drink directly under the drinker's nose, ensuring the aroma has the desired effect. A standard cocktail glass contains 4.5 US fluid ounces.
