What the AI looks for in Martini Glasses
- Size
- About 5–8 oz bowl; avoid 10 oz and up. A martini is about 3–4 oz, and a big glass lets it warm before you finish.
- Bowl shape
- Wide V for classic looks; Nick & Nora or coupe if spilling is a concern. Steep V shapes spill easily when carried.
- Stem
- A long enough stem to hold without touching the bowl. Hand heat warms an undiluted, ice-free drink quickly.
- Rim thickness
- Thin, cut or laser-cut rim. Spirit-forward drinks are noticeably better from a fine rim.
Brands that matter
- Spiegelau: Bartender-designed cocktail collection.
- Riedel: Crystal up glasses within its cocktail line.
- Schott Zwiesel: Durable Tritan crystal martini glasses.
What to avoid
- Oversized martini glasses
- Thick, molded seams on the bowl or rim
Questions
Is a martini glass the same as a cocktail glass?
They are largely the same V shape. Many bartenders now prefer coupes or Nick & Noras for the same drinks because they spill less.
