Glassware
It is better to serve a fine cocktail in the wrong glass
than a poor one in the right glass.
It is best to have both drink and glass just right.
Most cocktails use the regular cocktail glass.
This glass being stemmed with a capacity of about 3 ounces.
The stem helps the drink stay cold, and minimizes sweating.
The Old-Fashioned requires a 'Stubby Tumbler' and the
Champagne Cocktail is best served in a 'Champagne Glass'.
Sours are usually served in 4 or 5 ounce glass (like a tomato-juice glass),
or a short-stemmed oval glass.
Sours may also be served in a regular cocktail glass.
