The Martini glass is the quintessential symbol of cocktail elegance and sophistication. This iconic glass features a classic V-shaped bowl with a long, slender stem and a wide rim. Typically holding 4-6 ounces, the martini glass is designed to showcase cocktails served straight up without ice. The wide rim allows for easy sipping and helps to release the cocktail's aromas, while the long stem keeps the drinker's hand away from the bowl, preventing the drink from warming up. The V-shape creates a beautiful silhouette and allows the cocktail's color and clarity to be fully appreciated. Originally designed for the classic Martini cocktail, this glass has become the standard for many elegant, spirit-forward cocktails and is a staple in any well-stocked bar.
