We got you covered,
The right glass doesn’t just hold your drink—it creates an atmosphere, elevates the experience, and transforms each sip into a celebration. ✨
Whether you’re crafting a delightful cocktail, toasting with sparkling fizz, or serving something sweet and bold, the choice of vessel is just as significant as the recipe itself.
When beginning your home bar journey, you don’t need every glass on the shelf—just a few essentials to cover most drinks.
A rocks glass is perfect for savoring whiskey neat or on the rocks, while a tall highball or Collins glass is ideal for those refreshing mixed drinks.
Add an elegant coupe for your dazzling “up” cocktails—martinis, daiquiris, and anything that deserves a twist of classic allure.
Complete your set with a pair of wine glasses (one for red, one for white), and you’ll be ready to impress your guests like a pro.
That’s why we’ve rounded up our favorite cocktail glassware — each one with a splash of color, charm, and plenty of Lollygag love.
Best For: French 75, Sidecar, Daiquiris, Champagne & craft cocktails.
Why: Its shallow, wide bowl lets bubbles dance and citrusy aromas bloom. With vintage roots
and elegant vibes, it’s perfect for glam parties, Gatsby nights, or just any old Tuesday.
Origin: Legend has it the coupe was modeled after Marie Antoinette’s bosom — though historians
say it’s more likely it was simply designed in the 17th century for champagne. Either way,
it’s always been a glass worth toasting.
Best For: Champagne, prosecco, sparkling cocktails
Why: The tall, narrow shape keeps your bubbles bubbly and your toast looking chic.
Use it for classic bubbly or get fancy with sparkling aperitifs and mimosa upgrades.
Origin: Some say the champagne flute was inspired by a royal fashion statement —
a shape crafted to keep bubbles dancing longer and glasses looking as elegant as the toasts themselves.
Whether myth or fact, it’s been popping up at celebrations ever since.
Best For: Manhattans, Last Words, classic stirred cocktails
Why: The cooler cousin to the Martini glass, this little gem is perfect for cocktails you
want to keep cold but delicate.
Origin: Named after a 1930s detective duo from the Thin Man, it’s got serious old-school charm
with modern elegance.
Best For: Amaro, limoncello, dessert liqueurs.
Why: Small but mighty. These tiny glasses are made for strong, flavorful sips.
Great at the end of a meal or for a cozy nightcap that feels extra special.
Origin: The term “cordial” comes from the Latin cordialis, meaning “of the heart,” because
these herb-and-spice drinks were once thought to revive and refresh your ticker.
What started as tiny medicinal sips soon became the stylish after-dinner drinks
we love to savor today.
Best For: Old Fashioned, Negronis, Whiskey or Mezcal neat
Why: Short and sturdy, it’s made for slow sippers. A big cube of ice keeps things cool
without watering it down too fast — ideal for spirit-forward drinks with depth.
Origin: Some say the rocks glass was born when bartenders needed something sturdy enough to
survive a good muddle — and maybe a bar fight or two. Thick-bottomed and tough, it’s been
holding its ground (and your drink) ever since.
Best For: Mojitos, Palomas, Gin & tonic, fizzy cocktails & mocktails
Why: Tall and lean, it lets bubbles shine and citrus float. With room for ample ice,
this glass is great for sunny-day drinks, keeping everything refreshing and light.
Origin: Highballs live up to their name — mixed fast, served tall, and gone in a flash, just like the
old railroad “highball” signal for full speed ahead.
Best For: Martinis (of course), Cosmos, Lemon Drops, and Espresso Martinis
Why: The V-shape is iconic — helping chilled, spirit-forward drinks shine while staying crisp.
Also a showstopper for garnishes like lemon twists, olives or Maraschino cherries.
Origin: Rising in popularity during the Gilded Age it was designed to keep things chill—literally—this
sleek V-shaped martini glass keeps your hands off the bowl for an icy sip. Those sharp angles make slipping
olives in (or out) so smooth, even James Bond would raise an eyebrow (and his glass).
Best For: Stirred cocktails or serving in style
Why: While not for sipping, a stylish pitcher or mixing glass is key when you're
batch-making or crafting cocktails that need a stir (not shake).
Bonus points for vintage glass or bold patterns that steal the show!
Origin: Starting life as a repurposed stemmed beer glass back in the 1800s—
perfect for chilling and stirring cocktails without killing the aroma. The 21st-century cocktail
comeback gave this vintage barware classic a fresh spotlight, making it a star in upscale bars.
Best For: Red or white wine, spritzes, floral cocktails
Why: The bowl shape helps wines breathe and aromatics bloom. Also fab for cocktails that need
a little swirl and sniff — think Aperol Spritz or a sparkling St. Germain mix.
Origin: Legend has it the wine glass’s wide bowl was made for swirling and sniffing…
though some claim it was just to fit more wine. Either way, its elegant stem keeps warm
hands off your pour — and your evening perfectly chilled.
Best For: Wine, sangria, spritzers, cocktails without rules
Why: Modern, casual, and comfy to hold. No stem means no stress — perfect for backyard
hangs, brunch spreads, or mixing sangria with whatever’s in the fruit bowl.
Origin: Stemless wine glasses tossed tradition aside — no stems, no fuss, no tipping over
quite so easily. Perfect for casual sipping… and for people who talk with their hands.
This smoky-sweet sipper is fall in a glass — bold bourbon meets a swirl of cinnamon spice and a whisper of cherry bitters for that perfect fireside vibe. Cozy, moody, and a little mysterious, it’s the kind of cocktail that makes any night feel like a celebration (flannel optional).
This fall forward cocktail tastes like: that warm, buttery snickerdoodle fresh out of the oven — but we've made it a bit more grown-up and glam. Vanilla Stoli vodka and cinnamon melt together in a creamy swirl of comfort in a glass.
Smoky mezcal meets juicy cherry, pomegranate, and citrus in this sparkling cocktail — moody, seductive, and pure Lady Gaga glam. A smoky sipper that plays all its cards just right!
