Description
This cocktail glass carries a small yellow pineapple, made of glass like the rest of it, which rises from the base of the bowl on a short glass post. Pour a drink and the fruit sits within it, so every cocktail arrives with its own little garnish. The glass is mouthblown, with a wide conical bowl, a long slender stem and a broad round foot. It stands 16cm tall and measures 9cm across the rim, and it holds 170ml, a good measure for a classic martini or a short shaken cocktail.
It belongs wherever drinks are mixed for friends: on a home bar shelf, on a drinks trolley in the living room, or at the table as a dinner party aperitif is poured. The pineapple brings a holiday note to piña coladas and tropical mixes, yet it looks just as at home with a dry martini or a cosmopolitan. At 0.18KG it is light in the hand, which suits slow sipping on a summer evening in the garden. A pair makes a cheerful gift for anyone who enjoys making cocktails at home, from the keen beginner to the practised host.
This glass does not go in the dishwasher, so wash it by hand, and keep it out of the microwave and the oven. Mouthblown glass is shaped by breath and by hand, and small differences from one piece to the next are part of its character rather than a flaw. Because the pineapple stands inside the bowl, stir or shake the drink in a jug or shaker first and then pour. As a practical styling note, keep a few of these glasses together on a tray beside a shaker and a dish of olives, so the home bar is ready whenever guests arrive.

Frequently Asked
What material is the cocktail glass?
It is made entirely of glass, the little yellow pineapple included, and the finish is mouthblown rather than machine pressed.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. The maker states it is not for the dishwasher, so wash it by hand. It should not go in the microwave or the oven either.
How much does it hold?
It holds 170ml, a good measure for a classic martini, a cosmopolitan or a short shaken cocktail served straight up.
How big is the glass?
It stands 16cm tall and measures 9cm across, with a long slender stem and a broad round foot, and it weighs 0.18KG.
Is the pineapple loose in the glass?
No. It sits on a short glass post that rises from the base of the bowl, so it is not a loose piece dropped into the drink.
Which drinks suit it?
Short cocktails served straight up suit it best, from a dry martini to a cosmopolitan, and the pineapple makes a cheerful match for tropical mixes such as a piña colada.
