Getting The Right Glassware For Bartending

For those new to bartending and maybe alcohol drinking in general, might not know how important proper glassware is when enjoying a nice cocktail or a good whiskey. When people order a drink, they usually are expecting it to be from a specific type of glass. You should invest some time in researching which types of glasses are used in which situations and find out which ones you need to fill up your cabinet with.

shot glass: These are a must for every bar. People use these not only for serving shots of liquor, but also to measure the correct amount of alcohol to put in a drink.

Wine glasses: These often come in sizes of 5 to 10 oz. You can decide on a size yourself, but try to keep within this frame of size. I would personally ebb on the side of the smaller ones. Remember that the red wine glasses have a wider bowl than the white wine glasses, which gives the wine room to breathe. This is maybe the most important note to remember, as there are a lot of wine drinkers out there to please.

Cognac/Brandy glasses: Again, these also come in a wide variety of sizes, long, short, large, small, but one point needs to overheld and that is that it needs a large bowl that is cupped so that the hand holding it can keep the drink warm. Cognac and brandy is supposed to be enjoyed warm.

Champagne glasses: These are often smaller in radius and taller than wine glasses. Whats important when buying these are to have the bowl tapered so that you can prevent bubbles from escaping.

Highball glasses: The standard drink glass which is often used to serve straight-up drinks. This is the staple when used to making drinks, although you should invest in some different types, this will often do for most people and types of drinks.

We have now gone over a few of the most important glasses you should make yourself familiar with and there are many more if you would like to get more knowledgable. We have stemless glasses, cordial glasses, rocks glasses, cocktail glasses and many more, but the ones highlighted and explained in this article are the ones mostly used and those one should know about.

Why Are Margarita glasses Such Popular Prom Favors?

Most prom events have elaborate decorations and gift bags at the door which provide glassware items like shot glasses, margarita glasses or wine glasses. Other prom gift bag items may include candy, confetti and trinkets of all kinds. At almost every prom, one will see customized glassware are used either as souvenir items or as part of centerpiece decorations. It is kind of strange when you think about it – After all, prom is celebrated by people who are well under the legal age to consume alcohol. So, why are margarita glasses such popular prom favors?

Prom is a special occasion that symbolizes a “rite of passage” for young people. Despite the general appeal of margarita glasses, there are practical reasons these curvaceous glasses are used as prom favors. Well firstly, margarita glasses have fun yet elegant designs that are great for decorative purposes at prom. And, customized glasses become souvenirs and reminders of that special occasion that ushered in maturity; finally, the providing of a glassware item typically used by adults is a symbol of maturity which blends in perfectly with the theme of any prom.

In terms of decoration, margarita glasses have curvy designs that are eye-catching with a large rim that is significantly bigger than most drinkware items. This wide rim design allows for large custom printed titles, logos, slogans and just about anything one can imagine. The freedom to custom printed multicolor designs adds to the design appeal of these elegant glassware items. Custom wine glasses are also a popular prom favors, but when it comes to creativity and customizable features, wine glasses pale in comparison to the margarita glass.

Margarita glasses are also considered popular prom favors because they are both great souvenirs and decorative pieces. This means margarita glasses can be used as part of a centerpiece at prom and then taken home as a souvenir. After printing a custom logo like “Washington High – Prom 2010″, these items become coveted memorabilia.

Lastly, the symbolism that comes with a mature drinkware item correlated perfectly with the theme of any prom. The “coming of age” tradition for which prom is built is adequately represented through mature glassware gifts. The wine glass, margarita glass or shot glass can really enhance the experience had by young adults taking their first steps into mature life.
