Rocks Glass
A short, heavy tumbler with a thick base that keeps a drink cold and gives you something solid to stir against. It is the home of spirit-forward drinks served over one big cube and of short sours on crushed or cubed ice.

Why This Glass
The wide mouth puts the aroma of a citrus twist right under your nose, and the heavy base survives muddling and stirring in the glass.
Tip
Keep a few in the freezer. A frosted rocks glass slows dilution far more than people expect.
A Little History
The name Old Fashioned glass comes from the drink: in the late 1800s guests who wanted a cocktail the old way, with spirit, sugar, water and bitters, got it in a short tumbler.
