GLASSWARE

	Sherry Glasses Sherry glasses resemble red wine glasses, only they are a bit smaller and are made to hold fortified wines, like port, or wines with a strong aroma. Sherry has a distinct aroma that gets trapped in these special glasses
	Glass Goblets Goblets have a shorter stem than wine glasses, but can still be used to hold wine or sherry. They can also be used to hold water or other beverages
	Champagne Glasses These glasses are usually fluted with a tall and narrow bowl for holding champagne. The small opening helps keep the carbonation inside of the glass longer, so that it keeps the drink from going flat. These glasses are great for holding mimosas and other cocktails as well as champagne
	White Wine Glasses White wine glasses have a smaller rim than the red. The stemmed glasses keep chilled wines cooler longer, as the person drinking the wine can hold the stem instead of holding the glass
	Cosmopolitan Glasses Ideal for holding cosmos or other mixed drinks, cosmopolitan glasses resemble a stem less cocktail glass
	Red Wine Glasses Red wine glasses are designed to have a larger rim so that the person drinking the wine can smell the aroma while sipping the wine. Stem less wine glasses can also be used for since the wine is served room temperature and will not quickly grow warm in the guest’s hand.
	Coffee Glasses These glass mugs can be used to hold any type of warm or iced beverage, such as coffee, tea or cider. In a bar setting, they are often used to serve Irish coffee, because the glass mug keeps the beverage warm while adding a decorative touch to the drink.
	Cordial Glasses A cordial glass can be used to serve any kind of sweet liqueurs. They can also function as an elegant glass for serving beer samples.
	Brandy Snifters These glasses have a shorter stem than wine glasses and are designed to hold brandy, a spirit that is made from distilled wine and often served after dinner. The glasses are capable of holding much more liquid than should be poured. Fill the glass about a third of the way up so that the brandy can breathe in the glass.
	Beverage Glasses These all-purpose glasses can be used to hold any beverage you wish. They come in various sizes, shapes and capacities to fit your dining room needs.
	Water Glasses Water glasses hold anywhere from 5 to 14 ounces of water. In a pinch, plastic drink ware can be used in lieu of glass, especially when it comes to serving water.
	Ice Tea Glasses Some iced tea glasses resemble regular beverage glasses, while some have stems and resemble wine glass or a goblet. These glasses can be used for iced tea, as well as water or any other beverage.
	Juice Glasses Small juice glasses are great for serving juice at breakfast and brunch. They are smaller than most beverage glasses.
	Beer Glasses Some glasses are specifically designed to hold pints of beer or pilaster and lager beers. Pilaster glasses are flared with the top being wider than the bottom. Pint glasses are perfect for holding water, soda or beers and ciders from the tap.
	Hurricane Glass These glasses are shaped like the old-fashioned hurricane lamps, and are designed to hold fruity cocktails and other drink concoctions
	Margarita Glasses Margarita glasses are usually large with a bowl shape, and sometimes have a smaller bowl below the large bowl for a decorative touch. The glass is wide so that the rim can be coated in salt or sugar to accent the drink.
	Martini and Cocktail Glasses For serving martinis or any other cocktail, use a martini glass or cocktail glass. The triangular bowl shape holds martinis, cosmopolitans, Manhattans, and other fun cocktails. They are also great for serving champagne.
	Rock Glasses When a customer asks for a mixed drink served on the rocks, reach for a rocks glass. These small tumblers can also be used to serve mixed drinks and liqueur drinks.
	Highball Glasses These tall glasses are perfect for holding larger cocktails and mixed drinks, like whiskey and soda, Long Island iced tea, a mojito or a Bloody Mary. They can also be used as an all-purpose beverage glass.
	Old Fashioned Glasses These glasses are also known as lowball glasses, and can work as rocks glasses. They are great for holding small mixed drinks like their namesake, the Old Fashioned, or any type of liquor served on the rocks
	Collins Glasses These glasses are designed to hold a Tom Collins mixed drink, but can be used to hold any number of mixed drinks. They resemble highball glasses, but highball glasses are usually shorter and wider
