Gin Glasses

How to choose the right Gin Glasses

• Match glass capacity to your typical serve size, allowing room for ice, mixers and fresh garnishes without overcrowding.
• Choose balloon bowls for classic gin and tonics, and coupe or cocktail shapes for martini-style and signature gin serves.
• Consider crystal or premium glass for front-of-house service where clarity and presentation are a priority.
• Check pack sizes to ensure you have enough stock for peak service, breakage cover and events.
• Think about storage and glass hanger compatibility, especially for high-stemmed balloon and cocktail glasses.
• Align designs and colours with your bar concept, from traditional gin bars to contemporary cocktail lounges.

Care and maintenance

• Use appropriate glassware racks in commercial dishwashers to protect stems and rims from chipping.
• Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals that can dull the glass and damage any decorative finishes.
• Allow glasses to air dry fully before stacking or hanging to prevent water spots and odours.
• Inspect rims and stems regularly and remove any chipped or cracked glasses from service for safety.
• Store balloon and cocktail glasses upright or on suitable hangers to minimise impact and breakage.
• Train staff on correct handling, polishing and carrying techniques to extend the life of your glassware.
