An Introduction to the type of Cocktail Glasses
Not all glasses are created equal. Though their size and shape may appear similar, or even familiar, do you really know what each drinking glass is specifically designed for? or How about their names? Here you will find all the various types of cocktail glasses, mixed drinks and shooters are prepared in.
LET'S LOOK AT THE VARIOUS TYPES OF COCKTAIL GLASSES AVAILABLE:
Beer stein: More often called a beer mug, a stein might be glass, stoneware, or decorative and sold for collectible purposes. Beer steins are large, have a handle and straight sides. Some have a hinged lid. Typically, they hold between 12 and 16 ounces.
Pilsner glass: A glass for light beers or lagers, the pilsner is tall, slender and tapers towards the bottom. Most have a small foot, and hold 10 ounces.

Pony glass: A small beer glass that holds only 5 ounces.
Tankard: Similar to a beer stein, a tankard is a large, cylindrical drinking cup that often has a hinged lid. Tankards are a popular collectible, and can be very decorative. Many are made of silver or pewter. Tankards often have a glass bottom.
Collins glass: Similar to a highball glass, but slightly taller and thinner, a Collins glass is used for mixed drinks that have more mixer than alcohol. They are especially popular for fizzy or tropical mixed drinks. Most hold 10 to 14 ounces.
Highball glass: These straight-sided, tall glasses are used for mixed drinks that have a higher percentage of mixer than alcohol, such as gin and tonic, scotch and soda or bourbon and water. They hold between 8 and 12 ounces. These are a must-have for your home bar.
