Reciprocal Wine Glasses

Highball, lowball, flute, tumbler, stemless or not – the art of mixology is far more than just about combining alcohol. Selecting the correct glassware for each cocktail to enhance the aroma and taste, preserve the temperature and elevate the presentation is also key.

To help, here, Reciprocal shares the eight essential pieces you need to make (nearly) every cocktail.

Sour Glass

The Sour Glass is part of the latest revolutionary collection from RIEDEL Barware. This glass is equipped with an outward flared lip essential for the traditional sour, and delivers the silky smoothness to the entire palate for balance of flavour.

Nick & Nora

Also part of the RIEDEL Barware collection, this glass was named after the characters in the timeless thriller “The Thin Man”, and ensures an effortless and chic sip, delivering the drink without forcing the tilt of the head.

Fire Longdrink

The decorated, machine-made tumbler of the stylish, yet subtly nostalgic glass collection RIEDEL Barware is inspired by the glamorous Art Nouveau period. ‘Fire’ is distinguished by its dynamic, flame-like decoration and was designed by Georg RIEDEL. It’s the perfect choice for spirits lovers.

Fire Whiskey

Part of the Fire collection by RIEDEL, this is, as the name suggests, THE glass for whiskey drinkers – whether you prefer yours neat or on the rocks.

Extreme Gin

The Extreme Gin Set is perfect for allowing gin lovers to enjoy the full aromatic expression of the gin’s botanicals. With its angular tulip-shaped bowl, these modern glasses are a stylish and functional addition to any cocktail lover’s home.

Highball

The Highball Glass is part of the latest revolutionary collection from RIEDEL Barware, named Drink Specific Glassware. This glass is ideal for mixed cocktails, with its tall shape maintaining effervescence, and is specially sized for large format ice.

Rocks

Also part of the latest revolutionary collection from RIEDEL Barware, named Drink Specific Glassware, this glass is perfect for spirits served on the rocks or mixed cocktails, and is specially sized for large format ice. What’s more, its intelligent design shows an exact measure of 60 ml for neat and efficient pours.
