What are the different types of gin glass?
Gin is a spirit of nuance and variety - and the glass you serve it in matters more than you might think. The most recognisable is the balloon glass, also known as the Copa de Balon. Its wide, rounded bowl allows the gin's botanicals to open up, while the long stem keeps your hand away from the drink to preserve its chill. It's a favourite for gin and tonic lovers who appreciate the full bouquet of flavour.
Then there's the highball glass - taller, straighter, and often used for G&T, Tom Collins, or gin fizz cocktails. It’s ideal when you want a longer drink with plenty of ice and garnish. Some prefer a traditional rocks glass for shorter pours or spirits neat, and for those who favour presentation, there are vintage-style coupes or stemless balloon glasses that feel just a bit more contemporary. No matter your tipple, there’s a glass designed to elevate the moment.
Crafting the perfect gin experience
Gin isn’t just about what’s in the bottle - it’s about how you enjoy it. The glass shapes your sip. It influences aroma, taste, and temperature. That first swirl, the clink of ice, the citrus zest release - all those little sensory moments matter. And when the occasion calls for it, presentation can take things to a whole new level. A well-chosen gin glass doesn’t just hold the drink - it completes it.
Our gin glass collection offers something for every palate and personality. Whether you’re building a home bar, hosting friends, or just want to unwind with your favourite botanical blend, the right glass makes a world of difference. You know that feeling when the light catches the rim just so, and the condensation rolls slowly down the side? That’s when you know you’ve chosen well.
