Hosting ideas & tips: Glassware

• To make things easier consider using double Old-fashioned or highball glasses as they can be used for nearly all drinks.
• If you're pouring Martinis, (or any drinks with the ice strained) which you serve in stemmed cocktail glasses -remember that they tip over easily!
• Guests mislay their glasses, so have plenty to spare. Three to four glasses per person should do it.
• Think of renting glassware as that makes the clean up so much easier.
• Glasses should ideally be cooled. Placing them in a cool room can be sufficient.
