FAQs
A highball glass is a tall, narrow glass that usually holds 8 to 12 ounces. It's commonly used for mixed drinks that have a spirit and a fizzy mixer, like whiskey and soda or rum and cola. It’s shorter and slimmer than a Collins glass and perfect for simple two-ingredient drinks served over ice.
Cocktails like Scotch & Soda, Gin & Tonic, Whiskey & Ginger, Vodka & Tonic, and Rum & Coke are all classic examples of highball drinks—especially when served in a highball glass with a capacity of up to 295 ml (10 oz). These simple two-part cocktails typically include a spirit and a carbonated mixer, making them perfect for the highball glass.
Yes, Highball glasses are used for serving water. Especially useful when serving ice water
Highball glasses are used for serving mixed drinks that include a spirit and a carbonated mixer, like gin and tonic or rum and cola. Their tall, narrow design helps stack ice cubes vertically, which slows down melting and keeps your drink from getting diluted too quickly. The narrow opening also helps preserve the carbonation by limiting how much of the drink is exposed to air, keeping your cocktail fizzy and refreshing for longer.
Highball glasses typically hold between 240 ml to 350 ml of liquid. This size makes them ideal for mixed drinks with ice and a carbonated mixer, offering enough space for both the ingredients and the ice without overflowing.
Nachtmann was heavily based on Bavarian tradition that comes from Germany
Most NACHTMANN glasses are dishwasher safe and can handle up to 1,000 washes without losing their shine. However, if the packaging says "handwash only" or doesn't mention care instructions, those glasses should be washed by hand. Always place glasses in the dishwasher with enough space between them to avoid contact and prevent damage.
Since 2015, Nachtmann has exclusively produced crystal glass—a high-quality, brilliant material made without using lead oxide as its main ingredient.
