Selecting the right glassware for a gimlet cocktail improves its visual presentation along with impacting the drink’s aroma, highlighting its simplicity while complementing its tart gin-lime profile. While a coupe glass is considered to be the most common choice to serve the cocktail in, other glassware options are equally enticing for visual appeal.
One of the most popular choices for serving a gimlet, its elegant, shallow bowl highlights the drink’s clarity and allows the aromatics to be inhaled before each sip.
An alternative option to the coupe, the wide, cone-shaped bowl promotes the release of the drink’s scent while its stem ensures the drink remains chilled without being warmed by touch.
Typically used for undiluted or on-the-rocks liquors, the rocks glass is sturdy and short – designed to be practical while allowing the drink to be served over ice.
For a relatively casual presentation, the tumbler or old-fashioned glass has straight sides which allow the drink’s colour tones to be spotlighted vividly.
With its smaller, elegant shape – the Nick & Nora is a unique choice for a gimlet since it offers a refined look while maintaining focus on the drink’s clear appearance and balanced flavour. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
