FAQs
A coupe glass is primarily used for serving "up" cocktails (shaken or stirred with ice, then strained) like Manhattans or Daiquiris. It was originally designed for Champagne but is now favored for its elegance and versatility in cocktail presentation.
"Coupe" is a French word meaning "goblet" or "bowl," referring to the glass's distinctive shallow, rounded bowl shape.
How is coupe glass pronounced?
The most common and traditional pronunciation for the glassware is "koo-pay" (from French). While some in the US might say "coop" (like the car), "koo-pay" distinguishes it.
Yes, one can drink wine in a coupe glass, especially sparkling wines. However, its wide rim causes bubbles to dissipate quickly, making it less ideal for maintaining effervescence compared to flutes.
Coupe glasses are ideal for "up" cocktails such as Manhattans, Sidecars, Daiquiris, Gimlets, and Martinis. They can also be used for Champagne (especially vintage or for toasts) and even desserts.
A coupe glass is generally not considered better for Champagne as its wide bowl causes bubbles and aromas to dissipate quickly. However, it is a classic, elegant choice for quick toasts, vintage Champagne (for a softer taste), or for its aesthetic appeal.
Drinks in a coupe glass are typically served "up," meaning without ice in the glass. While a single large ice cube might be used for presentation, multiple ice cubes are generally avoided due to the glass's design.
Coupe glasses typically hold between 150ml (5 oz) and 300ml (10 oz) or more, with 5.5 to 6 ounces often considered an ideal capacity for cocktails.
Hold a coupe glass by its stem, pinching it between the thumb and first two fingers. This prevents the hand from warming the drink and avoids smudges on the bowl, maintaining its elegance.
