Also Leandro talking about watching The Real Houswifes while drinking Champagne late at night and Marius zooming in on him was brilliant.
If the coupe was modeled after Marie Antoinette’s breasts, then the cocktail glass must’ve been inspired by the bullet bras of the 40s and 50s!
I really appreciate this video. Most glassware guides I've seen go in depth about the type of glassware but never mention the volume which makes it tricky to find appropriate glassware, especially when half the coupes and such that I find are like 9oz+
Good stuff! One of the things I love about cocktails is how subtle tweaks, such as the right glassware, can make a big impact. I’m reminded that Jeffrey Morgenthaler did a nice video about French 75’s not making sense to him until he read an OG spec calling for it to be served with ice in a Collins glass, and going “ohhhh of course! It’s just a Tom Collins with champagne swapped for the soda!” I tried it and I agree, I think it is a better version than the typical flute presentation. Give it a try sometime.
You just blew my mind there. Haha
@@AlanRob666 When you know that the “French 75” it was named after was an artillery cannon, it makes sense that it would be a substantial drink, and not something precious in a small delicate flute.
Make more! I love when you talk about glassware. I think that your glassware choices are some of the best on CZcams.
You should also consider releasing more of your vintage glasses with Amehla!
Our home bar has all manor of glassware. We regularly go thrift store shopping. Glass and barware are the first things we look for. And as we "upgrade" we'll just drop of the one's we change out, at the local charity stores. Estate sales and garage sale, too.
I like this series.
Would really like if you did two episodes of each category. A basic episode and an advanced.
This could serve as the basic and then make and advanced with hurricane, tiki etc.
And thanks for a great channel.
Would love a part 2 on this topic, very interesting video thank you! 👍😃
Thank you so much for this, you mentioned doing a video like this a couple of years ago and I have been waiting with bated breath for it.
Loved this vid, just like all the previous ones ❤️ Please don’t stop making them, Master
Love this series of videos. Inspiring
great run down on the basics! my glassware tends towards probably your third glassware episode?? But then I just love glassware and have watching your channel for a long long time. keep up the great work! love these!
I found this both entertaining and informative. :) Thank you!
It's so much fun to find vintage barware, and it's nice to know what's what.
I, for one, would absolutely love to hear you go into the other types of glassware
This is definitely useful. It's nice to have a baseline for what to have for a home bar.
Also goodwill is a good place to find cocktail glasses. I get all of mine from there.
Great tutorial on the basics of glassware. love it.
That was an awesome video. Even if you think you know a lot there's always more to learn. I'd love a sequel.
Things I never knew. I truly enjoyed that presentation.
Great stuff, thanks Leandro.
Thanks a lot, great research and information! Building my bar
I like this series. I hope there is one on garnishes coming up. Not just types but presentation and visuals too.
100% agree with you about the seam.
That was cool and informative!❤
Awesome, loved it
Very informative.
LEANDRO!!! Awesome video!!! I def love nice glassware!!! The thrift store is a great spot to get some quality glassware as well. CHEERS!!!
Loving this series! I’ve been building my home bar for just over 1 year using your cocktails and booze recommendations. For glasses I’ve been adding selections from each category that could have dual purpose such as a Collins glass that has tiki inspired markings and goes with a variety of drink styles. Great content!
Wasn't the neat glass and the lowball glass also called a single old-fashioned glass (SOF) and double old-fashioned glass (DOF)? At least, that's how i bought them. Awesome show btw. :)
Great video. I wish I had something like this to reference when I bought glassware for my home bar. I went with the highball, old fashioned, coupe, flute, plus Belgian beer glasses and white/red wine glasses. And of course shot glasses! This has worked for every cocktail I’ve mixed. Also Ikea is a great place to buy inexpensive glassware.
What is the shot glass for?
Have you seen the Riedel Fizz cocktail glasses? I think those are 9oz & they’re nice !
I'm a big fan of my 12 oz coupe. I definitely agree about avoiding seams.
Rona makes some really nice nick and nora glasses.
Agree regarding a seam on a glass
Great video thank you. I'm a fan of antique glassware so I purchased some old antique coup glasses on Ebay tonight, only to find out that I can't really have a decent wash line with the smaller ounce capacities that these old glasses have! I wish I saw your video before ordering these old, small glasses, but they still look pretty. I guess everything's 'super-sized' now, haha.
Apart from the vast knowledge (which you and the other usual suspects on YT so generously share with us) and the access to different bottles of spirits, the thing I envy most is, I think, your glassware collections. There is something about serving a drink in the right glass, which can elevate the whole experience.
Fortunately I am able to find many of the Libbey glasses where I live and I have built a nice small selection. Then for others I always keep an eye out. The trickiest bit is to get the right capacity (in oz and ml).
Cheers again, thanks for sharing!
Well done Leandro, I have a good variety of glassware and from early on, I measured the content of each and wrote it on a card. Then I would pick the best glass for the volume of liquid. Nick from York
i just bought some wonderful Schott Zwiesel (barware series) Nick and Nora glasses from WestEnd. It's tritan crystal, but molded not blown (no visible seam) and very sturdy and inexpensive. Still looking for a couple of nice blown ones that are more elegant. Schott also makes a killer double old fashion blown. Very beautiful to serve anything in.
9:36 "Late at night while you cry in your room".....I feel like i'm being called out here
More of these videos!
A very thoughtful video. My suggestion is that I like to know how much liquid each of my glasses will hold so that I can think about which one to choose for a particular drink. Not too small and not too large. The Cinderella effect. Perhaps not surprisingly, this has led me own quite a wide variety of glasses. My wife rolls her eyes at this, but our guests do not. As an aside, for those that are new to mixing craft cocktails, don't be afraid to pick up some "pretty" glasses at a second hand store. Very nice video. Thank you.
I would love to see an additional video covering more niche glasses
Wow. I was really surprised to find that most of my glasses are actually some of the glasses featured in this presentation. I guess the manufactures are in a win - win situation if the glasses they sell support both cocktails and normal home use. Thanks.
Real housewives comment was hilarious, "I'm not judging" reminded me of the smug comment in an old video "don't tell me you made it with Bourbon and I won't slap you" ;)
Pretty cool. I'd like to hear your take on Tiki glassware like a Pearl Diver glass or even wooden or resin tiki mugs.
Top of da mornin Leandro
The spillage mentioned at 3:00 was enough to ban coup and cocktail glasses from the game table. Rocks glasses with vertical walls and sturdy low centers of gravity ONLY.
5:38 a note is that a larger ice cube has less surface area than multiple ice cubes of the same volume. So if you break a big cube into more smaller cubes, it has more surface area, which is why crushed ice chills so well, it's got way more surface area than cubed
I use either a rocks/double rocks or martini glass for cocktails at home.I have a couple Collins glasses but they are too tall & narrow for my liking
Not traditional, but what we use all the time at home is Yeti wine glasses. Keeps our drinks cool.
And you can even use the smaller rocks glass for the ti punch
Actually I've heard one interesting legend about rocks glass, it's about Scots thrift. It is said, that when in early days distilleries started delivering their whiskies to barkeeprs in bottles, not in casks, barkeeepers didn't want to throw away empty bottles, and they were cutting the lower part of the bottle and using it as a glass.
Great video. I have found that I like to only get 2 copies of any type of glassware. I still want 4 or 6 lowball glasses, however having 3 types to choose from adds that little variety. And if you break one, it will happen, you are not left wondering how to recreate the set as you can just add a couple more and expand on a smaller budget.
I also buy them in twos, mostly because of the lack of space (would like to have 4 of each). But that way you have a spare, which you can easily replace as you said plus... two is usually a better number when it comes to drinking and sharing cocktails than one ;)
Btw, the glass seen in the film shot at 4:27 looks very much like the Nick & Nora 4.7oz/140ml glass by Riedel. In case anyone is interested. It is a little smaller than a standard N&N, but it looks beautiful.
Hey man, how about tall glasses that are wider on top than on the bottom? are those collins glasses as well? Thanks
I may have to grab some champagne flutes, I have the rest. While not cocktail related, I think a nice assortment of beer glasses and mugs can't be over looked.
Use for the boston pint glass?
@15:35 Wrong info.
Multiple small ice cubes would have greater surface area then one large ice cube (of same weight for example).
A large ice cube would melt much slower then many little ones, which is why it is preferred. (Less dilution)
Extra Credit Glassware for the win!!!
Can you please do a segment on types of liquor that require refrigeration? I know there’s tons of articles and recommendations but a video that shows the variety of things that should always be kept in the fridge once open and with a life shelf expectancy would be $$$$$$!!!! (At least for this novice)
Is there a technical spec for double old-fashioned? Asking because Mai-Tai. I'm trying to find the perfect glass for it and I'm a little stumped. Love the channel as always.
10-15oz is the best double rocks for mai tai
Yes to Extra Credit Glassware!
Where's the hurricane glassware love?!
Defimitively go for extra credit glasses
Leandro or Marius, would it be possible to get links for the cut-glass old fashioned and martini glasses? I really liked both of those styles, but nothing quite like them is coming up in my searches.
Second that! Been searching everywhere for a Martini glass like this but all I can find are the oversized 8-10oz versions. Help us out! 😂
How dare you emotionally manipulate me with your glassware!!😆
😂
I generally follow the standard recipes for the cocktails. But sometimes, I change my glass type and so the standard recipes have been changing based on the wash-line of the glasses millilitre. In this situation, what do I do necessary to find the best wash line for the ingredients? For instance, whisky sour, 60cl Whisky, 25cl lime, 15cl simple sugar, 15ml egg-white. I want to prepare glass that has 400ml. But if I use standard recipes for this sour, there is a lot of space left in the glass. I don't want to fill this void with just ice. Changing the ratios without breaking them, I think, is the only thing that needs to be done here. Is this a suitable method?
I miss wine glasses,bc you or your friends must be want to drink some wine ,or if they like spritz cocktails for example aperoll spritz the wine glass is must have too in my opinion
Mornin
The martini goblet has the modernist clean, angular lines of the 1920s art deco movement. Modernism really begins in that period, or a decade prior
Hey Leandro, sorry for asking something unrelated to the vid, but can you give me some advice on smoking cocktails while avoiding a 'burnt' smell? I've been trying to perfect a cinnamon-smoked Boulevardier for a while now using a Middleton SmokeTop, a smoking gun, and the good ol' run-of-the-mill-trap-under-the-glass technique, but every time I've tried, the smoke doesn't smell like cinnamon and the flavor that infuses into the cocktail after smoking just tastes like a 'burnt' flavor rather than actual cinnamon. I have no idea why this keeps happening and I was hoping you could give me some thoughts. I've used whole cinnamon bark as well as grated cinnamon, both to no avail. Thanks in advance!
It seems to me that's the point of a smoking cocktail (the 'burnt' flavor). But, then again, what do I know?
What capacity of ounces do you prefer for the martini glass?
Like 8-10 ounces if on the rocks 6oz if in a coupe or cocktail glass
I'm crying alone in my room watching this 😆🤣
Gdevn sir am a guy from muts all i want to know explanation about cocktail book
*looks at glasses in my bar* - Okay, but I have some here not mentioned. What ARE they for? Time to research online.
In 200 years, an archaeological expedition will say for ceremonial or religious purposes.
Aren't old fashioned glasses also referred to as rocks glasses?
Yeah but Double Old Fashioned is a specific type of rocks glass a little larger than your typical rocks
personally cant stand the straight walled martini or cocktail glass, way too easy to spill. Champange flutes have the shape specifically to preserve carbonation - less horizontal surface area gives co2 in solution less oportunity to condense. Gotta have a nice thin voluminous wine glass too for a spritz.
Regarding the French 75, I'd be interested to know your thoughts on Morgenthaler's opinion that a French 75 is better served like a Tom Collins in a highball.

Hmm never tried it so I don’t know not sure how the residual dilution of the ice helps the champagne could be a bad thing but I don’t see any reason not to try it. I don’t see how those specs fill up a 12oz Collins glass
@@TheEducatedBarfly I guess we serve prosecco over ice in a spritz so it's not too dissimilar to that. I keep meaning to give it a go myself but haven't got around to it yet.
No matter how much ice you put in the glass, the cocktail is always 32° F.
Either I'm crazy or this is a reupload lol
🤔
I so miss the part where you read one of your viewer's comments. Why did you stop? That was the second best thing!
what? no viking horn?! .....rude
