Glassware & decanters
Cocktail glasses for every drink: lowballs and Old Fashioned glasses, highballs, coupes and Nick & Nora, Martini glasses, tiki mugs, julep cups and copper mugs, plus a few spirits, wine and beer glasses. Sizes run from mini coupes to large tiki bowls. Alambika is Lehmann's official partner in Canada.
How to choose cocktail glasses
Match the glass to the way the drink is served. Drinks served up, without ice, go in a stemmed coupe or Martini glass so your hand does not warm them; stirred drinks on a large cube go in a lowball; long drinks topped with soda or tonic go in a highball. Browse lowballs, highballs, coupes and Martini glasses and tiki mugs. Check the capacity: around 150 to 200 ml suits most coupe recipes.
Most glasses come from Alkademie and Alambika, with Lehmann Glass coupes and Old Fashioned glasses (Thireau, Excellence, Favorit), Tiki Farm mugs, and Duralex, Spiegelau, Kinto and BruMate pieces. Delivery across Canada and in store in Montréal and Québec City.
FAQ
Coupe or Nick & Nora?
Both are stemmed glasses for drinks served without ice; the Nick & Nora has a taller, narrower bowl that limits spills.
Which glasses for a home bar?
Two lowballs, two highballs and two coupes are enough for most classic cocktails.
Do you supply bars and restaurants?
Yes. Through Alambika Pro, businesses can order glassware in volume and ask for printing or engraving.
Which glass for which cocktail?
The shape of the glass follows the way a cocktail is served. Shaken or stirred cocktails served without ice, such as the Martini, Manhattan or Daiquiri, go in a coupe, a Nick & Nora or a Martini glass: the stem keeps your hand from warming the drink.
Cocktails served on ice take a lowball (or Old Fashioned) glass, wide and short, with room for a large cube. Drinks topped with soda or tonic, such as a gin and tonic or a Collins, call for a taller highball. Tiki mugs are made for tropical cocktails served over crushed ice.
As for size, a 150 to 250 ml coupe suits most recipes served up. Chilling the glass in the freezer or with ice before serving keeps the cocktail cold for longer.
Frequently asked questions
Coupe or Nick & Nora: what is the difference?
Both are for cocktails served without ice. The coupe is wide and open; the Nick & Nora is narrower and taller, which limits spills.
Which glass for a gin and tonic?
A highball, tall enough for the ice and the tonic.
Should I chill the glass before serving?
For cocktails served without ice, yes: a few minutes in the freezer, or fill the glass with ice and water and empty it just before pouring.
Are your glasses dishwasher safe?
It depends on the model: mouth-blown and cut glasses are best washed by hand. Check each product page.
