Each drink has its own glass recommended for serving, either for aesthetics or reasons related to the recipe. Many cocktails managed to popularise their glasses, giving them a superstar status in bars, restaurants and pubs. One such example is Copa de Balon, a glass born in the 1700s, in the Basque region of Northern Spain.
Copa de Balon has a distinctive shape, created especially to emphasise the aromas of gin recipes. The large capacity of the glass allows for a generous amount of ice, needed to keep the drink cold. The glass has become popular thanks to Michelin star chefs in the Basque region. Their explanation is simple: due to the shape of the glass, ice lasts longer and the cocktails remain cold for a longer period of time.
Copa de Balon is just one of many examples of a glass that is used by bartenders around the world to complement a drink. What’s your favourite serving glass for a cocktail?
