Why This Glass
The stem keeps your hand away from the cold drink, and the curved rim makes it far harder to spill than a V-shaped martini glass.
Tip
Chill it with ice and water while you mix, then dump the water just before you strain.
A Little History
The coupe started out as a champagne glass in the 1700s and 1800s. Bartenders adopted it for cocktails when the cocktail revival of the 2000s looked back to pre-Prohibition glassware.
