A clear spirit infused with botanicals like juniper berries, gin is favoured drink here in Britain. From a classic gin and tonic with ice to a martini cocktail, gin is enjoyed in many ways, but the glass it is served in is always important. Read on as we outline some of the options available to appreciate this beloved beverage.
Highball glasses
A go-to glass for G&T lovers, the highball has much to offer. Its tall dimensions allow the bubbles in tonic to adequately expand delivering plenty of fizz. However, it also has a narrow opening, exposing less of its contents to the air and keeping it cooler for longer so it can be savoured sip by sip over time.
Copa glasses
Presenting a more elegant shape than the straight up-and-down of the highball, Copa glasses are a more modern solution for serving gin with added benefits. They feature a large wide bowl which can enhance the distinct flavour and subtle aroma of gin drinks, but also a lengthy stem which stops chilled drinks being warmed by their bearer’s hand.
