What is considered a highball glass?
A highball glass is a tall, straight-sided drinking glass, typically used for serving mixed drinks and long serves like gin and tonic, rum and cola, or a classic mojito. Most highball glasses hold between 300ml and 400ml, giving you the perfect ratio of spirit to mixer with room for plenty of ice. But it's not just about size - it's about the shape. The height helps keep carbonated mixers fizzing longer, while the slim design keeps everything looking crisp and elegant. Whether you’re pouring something refreshing or layered, a highball glass helps the drink stand tall and look the part.
At Rinkit, we stock a wide selection of highball glasses across a variety of styles - from vintage-inspired cut glass to sleek and simple modern forms. Whether you're building your home bar or just replacing a few everyday essentials, you’ll find something that feels right in the hand and looks smart on the table.
Why highball glasses are everyday essentials
There’s a reason highball glasses end up in heavy rotation in most kitchens. They’re practical, versatile and stylish all at once. You’ll reach for them for soft drinks, spritzes, sparkling water with lemon - even a cheeky Pimm’s when the sun makes a rare appearance. And because of their shape, they’re easy to stack and store too. Some sets feature reinforced bases for extra durability, while others have decorative touches that make them perfect for special occasions.
These aren’t just glasses for cocktail hour - they’re your workhorses for casual breakfasts, quick lunches and laid-back evenings. Whatever you’re drinking, a highball glass gives it room to breathe and space for ice without crowding the flavour.
Style, function and feel - all in one glass
The best glassware works quietly in the background, lifting the drinking experience without demanding too much attention. That’s exactly what a good highball glass does. It brings clarity, comfort and a sense of occasion to the simplest of drinks. And when they’re this good-looking, you won’t want to keep them in the cupboard.
Explore our full range to find the right fit for your home - whether that’s colourful flair, vintage charm or understated modern design. Because the everyday deserves to feel a little bit special too.
