Choosing the right cocktail isn't always obvious. There's a lot that goes into it, from how you're feeling to the weather outside. You can serve up a summery mojito on an overcast day or a dark, warming whisky at 2 PM in July if you really want to, but it might not be quite as enjoyable. When it comes to choosing the right drinkware for your drink though, there's no excuse to ignore any of the rules.
The Vessel
How you serve a drink is as important as what’s in the glass. There are three basic principles to keep in mind when choosing your vessel:
The right vessel for the right occasion. If you’re serving an upscale cocktail, don’t use an old-fashioned glass that was originally designed to hold whiskey or brandy. The same goes for wine; don’t use a pint glass or beer mug if you want to keep your guests from thinking they just got off work at the local pub.
The right vessel for the weather outside and how hot your drink is. A frosted glass will look elegant with a cool cocktail, but it won’t do much good on a very hot day when you're trying not to melt into a puddle! Similarly, if it's freezing outside and everyone wants something warm—like mulled wine—try using mugs instead of tumblers so everyone can wrap their hands around them and stay warm without burning their fingers!
The right vessels for whatever food might be served alongside them (if any). For example: if someone serves cheese plates after dinner parties where wine was enjoyed earlier in the evening (and therefore there are remnants left over), consider using small shot glasses or tumblers lined up next time instead since these cups allow guests easier access than larger glasses would provide while also keeping everything organized neatly within reach during service times.*
The Geometry
The geometry of a glass is just as important as its shape. The size and thickness of the glass, along with its mouth size and stem or handle, have all been meticulously designed to create a perfect balance between strength and weight. This allows for easy handling while maintaining the structural integrity necessary for drinks with high alcohol content.
The shape you choose for your drinkware will greatly affect how your drink tastes in it. For example, a tall glass will allow you to observe bubbles rising up through your champagne or sparkling wine; this adds an interesting visual element to the experience! A tulip-shaped bowl will focus aroma on one spot on your tongue when sipping tea or tasting port — this can help bring out different flavors than would otherwise be present by simply smelling from above (as if holding the cup).
The Thickness
The thickness of the glass is just as important as its shape. The thicker the glass, the better it will be at keeping your drink cool—and you want to make sure your drink stays cold and fresh tasting as long as possible.
As a general rule, it’s best to use a wineglass with a bowl that measures between 5 and 6 inches in diameter because anything smaller than that will be hard to hold without spilling any liquid on yourself (or on others). You should also avoid using very tall glasses if you want to avoid getting spillage when pouring into them; taller glasses require more attention when pouring out of them, so it may be best for such situations if only one person is drinking from said container instead of multiple individuals using this type of vessel together with their beverages inside them simultaneously while being served by another person who isn’t holding onto anything else during service time (read: no tray carrying multiple cups/glasses needed here).
So you've picked the best drink for your mood and now you have to be sure you're serving it in the right glass.
Drinkware can make or break a cocktail, so choosing it wisely is important. Drinkware is an important part of the drinking experience, which makes sense because it's what holds the drink. If a wine glass smells like cleaning solution or tastes like gum residue, it will detract from your enjoyment of that bottle of pinot. Drinkware can add to or detract from any drink; this is why many bars have their own signature glasses that they use when serving their cocktails—the bar wants to communicate a certain style and tone through its drinks service.
It doesn't matter if you're just having a beer at home with friends or hosting a high-end cocktail party; using proper glassware sends a message about your taste level and attention to detail (and no one likes breaking out red Solo cups). Plus, they look cool! They'll make people want to stay longer and enjoy themselves more because they aren't afraid of breaking something expensive or fragile by accident (which happens often).
