As you can probably guess, the most common material for a martini glass is, err, glass. There are many different formulations that vary in strength and price, however, so not every type of glass is the same. And then there's crystal, a special form of glass made with added minerals that give it extra strength and sparkle. While crystal is pricier than regular glass, it’s sturdier and will last longer. Other martini "glasses" can be made of more unusual materials like plastic, steel, or ceramic.

In keeping with the old-school coupe shape, these glasses are quite small, holding just over 4 ounces each. That's enough volume for a decent-sized martini, but instead of making a double, you're going to have to mix a second when you finish the first.

It is currently not possible to deliver to Europe. We hope to reinstate this service as soon as possible. In our tests, we particularly loved how the curved shape of the glass makes it easy to walk around with the drink; there's less of a risk of spilling over like the typical v-shaped martini glass. We like that it's practical, sturdy, and dishwasher-safe, all while retaining a classic and nostalgic feel. It's always a good idea to pour a cold drink into a cold glass. While making your martini in a shaker or mixing glass, add a scoop of ice to the glass to let it chill. Then, discard the ice before straining the drink into the glass. Alternatively, store a few glasses in your fridge to keep them cold and handy at all times.
