How to Learn About Durable Martini Glasses

By Twila Martinez


A classic martini glass is an essential item to enjoy the real and complete martini experience. Martini glasses are used by cocktail enthusiasts, the world over to enjoy their delicious martinis. Throughout history, the popularity of the martini has bounced up and down, but it is also one of the most enduring cocktails of all time. Many have even labeled it as the king of cocktails. Everything about the martini has a mysterious whiff about it. From its mysterious origin to its lasting impression on people all over the world, the martini seems to be surrounded by style, panache and mystery.

A classic martini glass is different in appearance from other cocktail glasses. The classic martini glass consists of an upside down cone shaped bowl with a long stem and a flat base. The visual appearance alone lends a touch of style and suaveness to the drink. The beautiful V shaped vessel adds a touch of elegance and flair. But the design of the martini glass is not for aesthetic purposes alone. There are a number of practical uses too.

The long stem of the classic martini glass exists for a reason. Martini is a drink that is meant to be served chilled. Warm or lukewarm martini is considered to be unacceptable. But by holding the glass by its base, one might transfer his/her body heat into the drink and make it warm. A stem prevents such a transfer of heat. By grasping the stem, one will be able to savor their chilled drink for a reasonable amount of time.

The expansive bowl of the glass martini glasses has a reason too for being there. This reason however cannot be said as an accurate one. The expansive bowl has brought many different stories to light regarding its reason. The most popular one is particularly fascinating and possibly true. It is said that the expansive bowl was to help people to chug down their martini in one single gulp during the prohibition era. People had to do this as there were unpredictable raids in bars and speakeasy clubs all over the United States.

Glass martini glasses come with so many different options regarding their size and design. These glasses can also be given as gifts to friends and family. Just like the martini, the history of the classic martini glass is a rich and interesting one.
