Description
Our Martine cocktail glass is a coupe: a wide, shallow bowl raised on a slim stem and a broad, flat foot, with the bowl, stem and foot each made in a different shade of glass, so the whole piece reads as multicoloured on the table. It is 11cm across and 14.5cm tall, and it holds 230ml, a generous measure for a coupe that leaves room for a garnish without filling it to the brim. Made from 100% glass, it weighs 0.118KG, light enough to hold comfortably by the stem through a long evening.
This is a glass for drinks that are shaken or stirred and served without ice: a classic daiquiri, a martini, a gimlet, or champagne and prosecco for a toast. It is approved for food too, so it works just as well for a small dessert, such as a chocolate mousse, a lemon posset or a scoop of sorbet, at the end of a dinner party. Lay a few out on a drinks trolley or a sideboard before guests arrive, bring them to the table for a birthday or a New Year's Eve gathering, or keep a pair in the kitchen cupboard for a Friday aperitivo at home.
It goes in the dishwasher, which makes clearing up after a party simpler, but it is not for the microwave or the oven. Glass does not hold onto smells or flavours, so the same glass can go from a sharp citrus cocktail to a sweet dessert and taste only of what it holds. With its coloured stem and foot, it sits happily beside plain ceramic plates and linen napkins, and it brings a cheerful note to a table laid with simple tableware. For a relaxed look, mix it with plain tumblers, or line a few up on a tray as a small bar where guests can help themselves.
