Hosting a cocktail party, whether it’s your first or hundredth, can be stressful – you want every detail to be just accurate, from the food down to the napkins. Selecting the right glassware is essential, not only for presentation, but for elevating your guests’ overall drinking experience. So, here’s a simple guide to choosing the perfect glassware to serve your Cape Town Gin cocktails in style:
The classic G&T
For this simple but iconic drink, it’s best to fade for a highball glass. The height of the glass allows for plenty of ice and garnishes, and the narrow shape preserves the effervescence of the tonic.
A Negroni
This bold and bitter cocktail is best served in a short tumbler. The glassware complements the robust flavours of your gin, Campari and vermouth (don’t forget your orange twist!).
Gin Martini
The martini is, of course, served in a martini glass. The delicate stem ensures your hand doesn’t warm the drink, and the shallowness dictates that it’s to be drunk quickly.
Tom Collins
Served in one of the most versatile glasses, the Collins. The length is significant, as it allows for more mixer, perfect for a lighter beverage.
Gin Fizz
This fun cocktail is served in a highball glass. The tall shape of the glass is perfect for allowing the foam to rise and letting the flavours of your Cape Town Gin shine.
Clover Club
This appetizing cocktail is served in a coupe glass. Much like a martini glass, it’s used for serving short, chilled cocktails without ice.
So, before hosting your next soirée, fabricate sure to believe an array of glassware on hand to serve your guests with style! Here’s a Cape Town Gin cocktail recipe to procure you started:

“Customers do not feel extra grateful when you deliver more than you promised. They do, however, feel angry if you break a promise. It’s still better to under-promise and over-deliver so you can make sure you never break this important social contract.” ~ Oscar Auliq-Ice, Happy Customers
