FAQs
A proper martini glass typically features a conical, V-shaped bowl, a long stem, and a wide rim. Its design is specific for serving chilled, "up" cocktails.
While its distinct design makes it unique, a martini glass is often broadly referred to as a cocktail glass.
The 2 martini rule most commonly refers to a self-imposed or establishment-enforced limit on consuming only two martinis in one sitting to ensure moderation, especially given the drink's potency. It can also refer to the "two-martini mistake," where people make poor decisions or assumptions after having two drinks.
Martini glasses are designed to keep your drink chilled by allowing you to hold it by the stem, preventing your hand's warmth from affecting the liquid. The wide rim enhances the cocktail's aroma, allowing the botanicals to shine, and the V-shape helps prevent ingredient separation and perfectly showcases garnishes.
Martinis are typically sipped slowly. They are always served chilled ("up") without ice in the glass.
A martini glass should ideally be filled only to its widest point, leaving enough space to prevent spills and allowing for comfortable sipping and aroma appreciation. Typical martini recipes range from 3 to 6 ounces, so glasses are often larger than the drink itself.
The exact origin of the "martini" name is uncertain, but popular theories link it to the town of Martinez, California; the Italian Martini & Rossi vermouth brand; or bartenders in New York or San Francisco in the late 19th century.
Martini glass capacities vary, typically ranging from 90 ml to 300 ml (3 to 10 fluid ounces). Classic martini sizes often fall into the 120-180 ml range.
The V-shape of a martini glass serves several purposes: it helps prevent the separation of ingredients in a spirit-forward cocktail, showcases the drink's clarity and color, and provides an elegant presentation while also helping to support garnishes like olives or lemon twists.
