A cocktail is only as good as the glass it's served in. Sound ridiculous? You'd be surprised. A cocktail can be greatly enhanced or undercut by the glass it is served in. Not only do some glasses magnify the taste of the drink they contain, they are also connected in the social consciousness with certain rituals, walks of life and traditions. There are distinctly different types of glasses for different types of drinks. While they may be mixed and matched at times, these basic combinations never go out of style.

Martini Glasses
The quintessential cocktail glass is the martini glass. With its inverted triangle shape, the martini glass is as much a part of popular and bar culture as the film version of James Bond's "shaken, not stirred" vodka martini. These glasses come in a variety of sizes, from the traditional, small 3-oz. version to the 12-oz. version, fit for a super-sized margarita. Any drink can be served from a martini glass, but keep this in mind: If the drink should be served chilled, the martini glass it is served in should be small. Otherwise, it will become lukewarm and less palatable long before it is consumed.

Highball Glasses
Highball glasses are tall and rectangular and hold about 10 to 12 oz. These are the best sort of glasses for mixed drinks served on the rocks, such as a whiskey highball. Highball glasses are very similar to old-fashioned and Tom Collins glasses, the difference being that old-fashioned glasses hold about 6 to 10 oz., and Tom Collins glasses are somewhat larger, holding up to 14 oz.

Wine Glasses
No bar is complete without a small set of red and white wine glasses. Red wine glasses have larger, wider bowls, while white wine glasses are narrower and as tall as they are wide. A well-stocked bar should also contain champagne flutes--tall, narrow glasses designed to hold in the carbonation of sparkling wines. All three of these types of glasses can be used to serve a variety of cocktails.
