How to choose the right Hi Balls and Tumblers

• Match glass capacity to your drinks menu, from smaller tumblers for spirits to larger hi balls for mixers and soft drinks.
• Consider glass thickness and weight for durability in busy bars versus lighter options for premium table service.
• Select shapes and styles that suit your venue concept, from simple everyday designs to more elegant profiles for cocktails.
• Check that the glasses are compatible with your existing glasswasher racks and storage space behind the bar.
• Plan separate styles for water, soft drinks and alcoholic serves to keep service clear and consistent for staff.
• For high-volume venues, prioritise stackable or easy-to-store designs to maximise back-bar space.

Care and maintenance

• Wash hi balls and tumblers in a commercial glasswasher using the correct racks to prevent chipping and breakage.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can mark or weaken the glass surface over time.
• Allow glasses to air dry fully before stacking to reduce the risk of odours, spotting and bacterial build-up.
• Regularly inspect rims and bases for chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service immediately.
• Train staff on correct handling, stacking and transport of glassware to minimise breakages during busy shifts.
• Periodically run a glasswasher cleaning cycle and use glass renovator to keep glasses clear and free from residue.
