Highball Glasses

Highball Glasses: Serve Mixed Drinks in Style

Multi-purpose highball glasses are used for serving cocktails, mocktails and even soft drinks with ice. Planning for a big gathering? To accommodate party guests, consider a streamlined highball glass set for twelve. Or, for more intimate get-togethers, opt for individual glasses and serve drinks for two instead. Either way, look for unique drinking glasses in interesting patterns that coordinate with other bar essentials, such as shot glasses, rocks glasses, ice buckets, mixing glasses and decanters. Then, prepare your favorite cocktail or mocktail for the party. Complete the look by arranging each highball glass atop a metallic tray, and make your bar cart, bar cabinet or accent table work double-duty by using its surface to also host appetizers artfully arranged on a tiered platter. Then, keep your bar tools— shakers, muddlers, strainers and jiggers—nearby to conveniently refresh your guests’ beverages. When the party’s over, place dishwasher-safe barware on the top rack for easy cleaning. When not entertaining, highball glasses work as regular drinking glasses, too. Fill one with sparkling water from your Aarke soda maker and watch the bubbles rise to the top as you sip.
