Why This Glass

Thick ceramic holds the cold of crushed ice, and the opaque mug makes the drink a mystery until the first sip.

Tip

A tall glass with crushed ice works fine if you don't own one, but the mug is half the fun.

A Little History

Tiki bars like Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's made the style a craze from the 1930s to the 1960s. Collectible mugs followed.

Opaque Vessel

You can't see the liquid level through this one, so print the pour guide for a highball glass and measure there first.
