| Specialty Glass |
| There are many special-purpose glasses that were designed or adapted for a new drink creation. The Irish coffee cup is an adaptation of the hot drink mug used for hot buttered rum and other winter warmers. There are flip glasses, fizz glasses, parfait glasses, water goblets, rickey glasses, compotes, ten-pin glasses, pousse-cafe[aa glasses, lamp chimney glasses, Hurricane fourteen-ounce grog glasses, Savall glasses (half Hurricane size), Poco Grande (``Big Mouth''), Zombie glasses, slim cooler glasses holding fourteen-ounces to sixteen ounces, and punch cups. It is doubtful that even the largest bar will have all of these containers, but they all have their place in enhancing one's enjoyment of a favorite wine, beer, or mixed drink. |
