Have you ever frozen before pouring a drink as to which is the right type of glass for it? Are highball glasses okay to serve water or juice? While picking glassware for your home bar, have you felt lost? Here is a short course on 5 basic glasses for any home.
Top 5 essential Glasses Needed in a Home Bar
- Old Fashioned Glass or Rocks Glass: This style of glass is specifically designed for classic whiskey or any whiskey based cocktails like Whiskey Sour, Manhattan or Bourbon Smash or Rye and Bitters. Rock Glasses are short and sturdy also called old fashioned glass, they are hard to beat but not best suited to serve juices or water.
- Highball Glass: This is a normal clear glass that holds around 300 ml of liquid and can be used for almost everything, its also perfect for serving cocktails like Gin and Tonic, Rum and Coke, or Vodka Soda. Whether you're mixing up a classic cocktail or simply serving a glass of soda, this highball glass is perfect. Borosil Glasses are the best when it comes to plain clear glass, but you can also invest in pure crystal highball glasses for fancy drinks.
- Wine Glasses: These glasses are the ones that get people nervous, but its simple you will need just two types of wine glasses. One is wine flutes to serve white or sparkling wines and other is wider and rounder wine glasses with stem for full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah/Shiraz or basically for red wines.
"Round red wine glasses can be used to serve water if you are eating at the dinning table but dont serve water in them on a tray."
- Coupe Glass or Martini Glasses: You can make a choice between these two, where as a coupe glass is more versatile because you can even serve cold deserts in it, whereas martini glasses are used for cocktails that stirred and shaken with ice but are not served with ice.
- Pint Glasses or Beer Mugs: Last on the list but one of the must haves in a home bar. Beer Mugs are big and sturdy, they hole a lot of liquid, can sometimes also be used to serve cold coffee or milk based drinks to kids as well.
So, these are basic 5 types of glassware that you will be needing for your home bar but there isnt any limit to your style. These basic five type of glasses come in various hues and designs. Crystal glassware are considered a luxury item and one can always invest in them.
