Making the right kind of glassware choices to serve a cocktail in, can impact the appeal of how it is presented and savoured – thereby elevating the experience of having a drink. For a classic libation like the cosmopolitan cocktail, serving and chilling are key factors in retaining the essence of the drink without diluting its flavour or appearance.
Traditionally served in martini cocktail glasses which are wide on top and narrow at the bottom, this glassware is supported by a stem for easy gripping.
Place your serving glass in the freezer for at least 15-20 minutes to help it retain the temperature of the drink when served.
If you’re running against the clock, stack up some crushed ice to chill the glassware for your cocktail in a jiffy.
Dampen a paper towel with ice cold water and wrap it around the glass to chill it, in the absence of crushed ice.
If you’re shaking up the cocktail in an outdoor setting, plunging the glassware upside down for a few seconds in the cooler can chill it instantly. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
