The GLASSWARE you (actually) NEED at home

[@NastierNate]

My wife drags me to second hand stores often, but I stopped dreading it when I got into cocktails. It’s so much fun looking for interesting glassware.

[@BehindtheBar]

Best part of op shops!

[@soprano1n1]

I just was thinking that when I was watching this video.

[@the-chillian]

@@BehindtheBar I've found some beautiful martini and margarita glasses (the latter essential for the blended version, IMO) at my local thrift store (as we call them in the US). Still looking for some nice coupes, but I see no reason to buy them new when you can get some wonderful old glasses for just around $1 and a little luck.

[@BehindtheBar]

@@the-chillian totally, and half the fun is being like ‘oh these old things? I got them for $3’ about some beautiful vintage glassware haha

[@JesseCohen]

@@BehindtheBar Like the vintage Libbey Prado coupe set of 4 we just picked up for $10. Or the 4 Grey Goose pewter martini glasses we found for $14. We have a wee “glass addiction”, true, but we usually swap out whatever we find we aren’t using and gift them to others, along with a drink recipe or two. It’s like regifting, but self started and less guilt inducing. 🍹🍸👍🏻

[@guidofv]

“Although, if you do this because stemware threatens your masculinity, then you really need to reassess how manly you are in the first place” is engraved in my brain. I love you, Cara!

[@Zoubilable]

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Yes - Use the glass you have or that makes you happy!

[@TheRockyLeonFan]

[@BehindtheBar]

Haha!

[@SloopADoopy]

I am onboard for the 'Revive the Coupe' movement!

[@tybaldt]

Totally. I always feel I’m going to spill a martini glass

[@NeonSonOfXenon]

Coupes are the best. Traded my martini glasses for coupes and its so much better

[@JesseCohen]

We did. Libbey Prado brown smoked, with raised vine pattern, acquired at a thrift shop for a song. They're pretty fun.

[@SolCrown80]

Agreed! They can look nice standing there, but they're a pain to drink from (much less walk with!) since they spill so easily.

[@solidaverage]

Video idea: bar jargon. I thought of this when you mentioned “washline”, a term I hadn’t heard before but will work in to my home bar use. Of course a home drink mixer doesn’t need to know industry terms, but throwing a few in makes me feel cool 😉

[@BehindtheBar]

Ooh that’s a good one actually!

[@TheFeralBachelor]

I kind of know what one is because I've seen the term used many times in cocktail videos but I was going to ask the same thing. A video on terms, and slang of a bar.

[@indievos]

I love the overall message of using whatever makes you happy but having this extra info also helps. Thank you!

[@paulbegansky5650]

My tea mug fits them all, multi purpose !!

[@BehindtheBar]

Totally on board with this!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

This was so informative! Love the coupe revival, and happy to find a kindred glassware loving spirit! Cheers 🥃

[@andygilbert1877]

Most of our glassware is Waterford Crystal, (Lismore) built up over the years after a visit to the factory in the early 90s. We like the reassuring weight of it, and the craftsmanship of course. It’s well used too, every weekend, we don’t keep it for ‘best’!

[@BehindtheBar]

That’s the way to do it!

[@HonkusPonkus]

This was so thoughtful! We get a bit of history and reasoning for certain drinks in certain glasses, but it's not intimidating for new home cocktail enthusiasts.

[@rogerhwerner6997]

Being an old man I've managed to accumulate quite a glass collection, mostly from presents and my travels. Pilsner, mug, and schooner glasses for beer some purchased in Prague (I love the pint schooner for Guinness and pilsner pints for Bavarian lagers); two different sizes of margaritas glasses (both styles from Ensenada),martini, old fashion, highball glasses, small and large wine glasses, champagne from flutes (including a set of b!ack Vienna crystal), brandy and cordial glasses, shot and jigger glasses, and een have a set of sake gkasses. I have three cabinets full of glassware and crystal. Why I ask myself do I have so many varieties? I didn't buy them all but having them is kind of nice. I agree that glassware lends to the ambiance one seeks when mixing a drink! Moreover, having too many glasses is better than having too few! And sadly, glasses break and finding comparable replacements is damnably difficult!

[@BehindtheBar]

This!

[@mightystu49]

Stemmed glasses do look fancy but I’m always more anxious about them being fragile. Maybe I just like rocks glasses though because that’s what I prefer my Gin and Tonics out of too. Like you said, they just have a nice weight and feel good in your hand, so every drink from one is good!

[@binaryghost3626]

You are a delight. Didn't know there's such thing as glassware hobbyists, but it's clear from your presentation that you are one of them.

[@BehindtheBar]

Haha it’s a problem!

[@vaughnjames397]

Great video as usual. Looking forward to checking out your course!

[@williamcrane1]

We probably have all of those glasses in our two cupboards; most used are Glen Cairn (for sipping Bourbon), and rocks glasses, even for wine, although we have myriad stemmed glasses and flutes. What we lack is the variety of your spirits, generally just Bourbon, Vodka, and wine. Oh, and beer - who can forget beer🍺🍸🍹🥂🍷🥃 Cheers for another informative video!

[@BehindtheBar]

To be honest at home I’m mostly gin, Scotch and wine so not too dissimilar haha! And also like drinking my wine in bed out of a stemless...I mean honestly it’s more of a bowl than a glass 😉 haha

[@williamcrane1]

@@BehindtheBar yes, you also spill less 🤓

[@johnolmos8670]

My fav glass is the Nick and Nora. I love how much space it leaves for any garnishes and if you want to drink fast and get out of there you can. Another advantage is it’s totally comfortable to cheers with it

[@cocktailswithlele4042]

I am obsessed with glassware in general! And yours are amazing! I just got a gift and received so many new glasses! Can't wait to play around with them!

[@toddellner5283]

Thank you so much for doing this video

[@noashore2312]

This was very helpful. I enjoyed it :) looking forward for the next video

[@ayaniz]

Beautiful video Cara. Ahhh the Nick & Nora - truly the most versatile cocktail glass in my bar. How can you not love a glass named after two of the most legendary drinkers of the Silver Screen? The glass also allows me to have one more martini than I used to have with those unnecessarily large straigh0edged martini glasses. Shhhhh ....

[@contentioushackery]

Some people have very strong opinions about the "right" way to drink whiskey, but I think there is no wrong way. I prefer a glencairn for all neat pours because I like the aroma and stemware seems too fragile and tippy. But most people like the feel of a rocks glass and I understand that. I use my grandmother's tiny old nick & nora glasses for up cocktails.

[@solarmus923]

The right way to drink whiskey is the way you enjoy it. If you're drinking whiskey, you're doing it right. To each his/her own, and I'll have another.

[@larrywagner1432]

I’ll quote a line for the whiskey drinkers, if you know it, you know it: the best whisk(e)y is the one you like the way you like to drink it! Cheers! 🥃

[@ginafriend1690]

Hello Cara (should you see me) I too love my vintage glasses, will forever keep! Whatever suits your style, I say stay with it! Drinking responsibly or not! 😅🥂

[@fatherman3488]

Thank you so much for this video 😁 My wife and I are building our home bar and we needed a realistic pov

[@chef_and_coffee]

I'm definitely getting a pineapple glass, super cool. Thanks now I know

[@DianeCastle]

I just really like that the one coupe glass is called a Nick & Nora. The Thin Man would approve.

[@davidl5452]

I was looking into them as they are the one type I don't have a everyday substitution for. Found this on one of the sets: "Nick and Nora glasses can be thought of as the child of a coupe glass and martini glass. And it can do the job of both. "Nick and Nora" references the husband and wife detective duo in the 1930's movie, "Thin Man." Prohibition ended and a true celebration of cocktails ensued."

[@mattmathai]

I have small and large coupes, highballs, double rocks, tiki mugs, copper mule mugs, and some flutes. That set does the trick and doesn't take up too much room. I really should look at getting some elegant rocks glasses for old fashioneds, etc. I might take the next few weeks to make myself elegant first

[@SteveAbrahall]

It's interesting this glassware thing - I have a couple of beloved whiskey glasses that my dad and I used to drink from before he passed (some great memories!). I also have what we think was an 1800 beer glass that he found while diving back in Wellington NZ. Then there is wine... I have some mid range Check lead crystal wine glasses that are nearly as good as a famous Australian brand of glass but a lot more durable... and good single malt tastes fantastic from them! Subtle crazy stuff but I do like glassware. Lovely work as always!

[@little_billy]

Great Video Ms Cara!! Very informative and it's just about glasses. Your hurricane glass is still my favorite. Love my pilsners. I recommend, if you are eating with your fingers, use a mug, I have seen too many spills. Like, any type of bar-b-q or chicken, and you can still enjoy your favorite cocktail. Way to go girl, you are still Awesome!!!

[@BehindtheBar]

Good advice!

[@hcol6897]

As someone with perpetually warm hands, I LOVE a stemmed cocktail glass, I'll put anything in a coupe when I can!

[@adamlebner8429]

I drink my g&t from a rocks, and manhattans from a wine glass, flips from a martini glass, mojito in a collins, and spritz in a pilsner glass. Great guide. Thanks!

[@Soundpolitic]

Great run-down! The only thing I'd add is a glass - a mug - for hot cocktails like the Hot Toddy, Hot Buttered Rum, and Irish Coffee. These should be clear so that the cocktail can be enjoyed visually, should stand up to heat so they can be warmed before serving the finished cocktail, and have a handle so the drinker's hand doesn't get burned, as well as a sturdy base. Drinks like these are just necessary in the winter months and they deserve a proper glass to be served in.

[@BehindtheBar]

Good point!

[@the-chillian]

2:55 - That's a win right there.

[@susanhaddad950]

Regarding size, I agree. To the rim! Especially these days. Ah, the simple pleasures of drinking something good from a full glass you like looking at & holding in your hand.

[@SophiaRavenna]

Thank you! I'll be referring to this video for substitution ideas every time a cocktail recipe calls for a style of glass I don't have :)

[@joshuasteele4498]

The shot glass / cowboy comment was great! “What bar? This ‘ere is a saloon!”

[@EricHonaker]

I got a pair of coupes and a pair of martini glasses for Father's Day last year. I very quickly started using the coupes almost exclusively. Those martini glasses spill if you look at them funny.

[@Jeremy-kg1zr]

Martini glasses are the worst... I don't understand why they exist.

[@markbrisenden]

My vintage cocktail bar was, quite by chance the first piece of furniture I ever bought. My first flat was completely unfurnished and on a visit to a S/hand clearance shop looking for a bed, cooker, fridge, etc I saw the bar for £40 . Got it home plugged it in and the lights still worked ! And the first glasses I bought it for it were two of those 'Punt E Mes' ones. Didn't even know what it meant ! And over the years every single glass I have bought for it has come from a charity shop ! And many have gone back there too when replaced by something nicer . I could probably have stocked a chain over the years with the flow of glasses in and out of my place. But I still do wince at the loss of some when the bottom fell out of a box I was carrying in to my current flat !! Roll on the re-opening of the Charity shops I need a good browse of the glass ware again.

Thanks for this very informative and fun video. I love those vintage coupe glasses!

[@ItsMe-fs4df]

In my home bar there is only rocks, highball and coupe for coctails/drink and tulip tasting glasses for neat drinking (whisky, Cognac, port etc.)

I love these informative videos about bartending in general. You should do those other videos on the other types of glasses. Tips and guides for how to slowly expand home bars and things

[@aleksandernordgardenrdner1520]

Couldn't agree more. I keep a few styles of glasses in stock, just because I know I'll use them. I love my old fashioned glasses, and use them for a lot of drinks. Can't stand the triangular martini glass, and prefer Nick&Nora glasses to coupes. Other than that, I find a good red wine glass works a treat for a lot of things.

[@hulkslayer626]

Good episode 😁 very interesting and informative. Right now I have rocks, highballs and Glencairne's. I've started a Whisky hobby and like to drink different ones neat in the Glencairne and also make a cocktail in one of the other glasses to go with it and back and forth between to explore the differences.

[@JoeyIndolos]

I live in a developing country where, out of either practicality or sheer economic necessity, the glassware in many households are just repurposed small jars that used to contain food like coffee or peanut butter. I grew up in such a household, but was lucky enough to eventually get a good job as an adult, so I have since diversified my collection 😀 Still, probably because of a practical streak instilled by my childhood, I’ve tended to keep it down to a few favorites. I usually drink whisky or beer, so I have a rocks glass for the former and a pilsner for the latter. I like the pilsner because the low, narrow waist keeps my hand from warming the beer, and it looks elegant without being too fancy. I’ve also got wine glasses in one size, and champagne flutes for special occasions. I’m probably not going to get most of the stuff in this video (like the pineapple glass), but I’m definitely going to add the coupe and a few others to my collection. Thanks!

I drink out of old fashioned glasses because they're easier to clean, and I'm too clumsy to be comfortable around stemware.

[@JesseCohen]

Yeah, it's why most of our wine glasses are stemless, and the martini glass stems are metal. Oh and the "margaritas" are so thick they bounce off our vinyl flooring when dropped. I am why I can't have nice things. Well glass ones at the very least.

For many of my dark spirit drinks, such as a manhattan, I prefer to use the newer-type cosmopolitan glasses. They have a thick pedestal base that opens to a wide V-shaped coupe. It's not quite as wide open as the typical martini stemware, but I prefer them as they are much more stable and also a bit more multi-purpose. For the "on the rocks" drinks, I do also have the typical "rocks glasses" as she calls them. I've always referred to that shape as a "tumbler". Then, for amarros, we found some "shooters" glasses in a store that work quite well for these very herbal little trysts.

[@IdealUser]

I have vintage 19th century coupe glasses that were my great-great grandparents. Sure I could keep them in a box and sell one day but I'd rather just enjoy.
