Cocktail glass Stalgast 400016

A cocktail glass holds the drink in a wide, shallow bowl that exposes the surface to air, releasing aromas while keeping the contents chilled. The stem allows the server to hold the glass without warming the liquid, and the base provides stability on crowded bar tops.

The operator fills the glass with ice and the measured ingredients, then stirs or shakes the mixture before straining it into the bowl. The rim is often chilled or sugar-rimmed to enhance presentation, and the glass is placed directly on the bar or tray for service.

This Stalgast glass is formed from clear, tempered soda-lime glass that resists thermal shock and mechanical stress. The bowl, stem and foot are fused into a single piece, eliminating seams that could trap residue or weaken the structure.

The 86 mm diameter bowl gives a generous surface area for garnishes and aromatics, while the 160 mm overall height fits standard under-bar storage and most glass racks. The 475 ml capacity matches the standard measure for classic cocktails such as martinis and margaritas, ensuring consistent portion control across service.

Cleaning follows from the seamless construction: the glass is washed in a commercial glasswasher or by hand in warm, soapy water, rinsed and air-dried upside down on a rack to prevent water spots. The tempered glass withstands repeated cycles without clouding or cracking.
