The iconic V-shaped cocktail glass. It holds Martinis, Cosmopolitans and Espresso Martinis, and it looks like a cocktail even in silhouette.

Why This Glass

The open cone spreads the aroma wide. That works best for clear, aromatic drinks like a Martini.

Tip

Don't fill it to the rim. A V-glass loses half its volume in the top centimetre, so a small overpour spills easily.

A Little History

The V shape became the standard cocktail glass after the 1925 Paris Exposition made Art Deco design fashionable.
