COCKTAIL ZERO% BAR MANUAL ALEMBIC GLASSWARE GUIDE GLASSWARE 2.TALL This drink is served long, with lots of ice and is generally diluted with a mixer or some kind of fruit, juice or syrup. You want a glass that can hold around 350-400mls (approximately 10 to 12oz) of liquid. A little more or less is fine and don’t panic if you have a massive glass. Just add more ice, always a good thing! Examples of this type of glass are: 1. Highball, Collins, Slim Jim 2. Sling 3. Pint 4. Jam Jar 5. Large Wine The Hurricane and Poco Grande are similarly shaped glasses with a voluptuous curve and short stem, usually used for tropical and creamy cocktails. 1. 3. 5. 2. 4. Think of a beautiful Piña Colada. Frozen and blended drinks are often served in this type of glass. They’re normally slightly larger in size than the average tall glass. For a drink such as the Bloody Mary, you might need to rim the lip of the glass with crushed salt and pepper. In this case be more robust. Moisten the edge of the glass with a pressed citrus wedge and place downward in the dish so that the glass picks up the crushed salt and pepper. BUILDING DRINKS: If you are asked to ‘build’ a drink, all you are doing is pouring all the ingredients into the chosen vessel in the order stated on the recipe. It will nearly always be over cubed ice and, if so, make sure you have lots. Building a drink is required for a cocktail that doesn’t call for shaking or blending. A good example of this is the Gin & Tonic.
