A small glass can make a big occasion of a drink. With its neat bowl, slender stem and just-enough capacity, the Nick & Nora gives a carefully made cocktail room to shine without asking you to make it bigger.

More about the Nick & Nora glass

Think of this as the quietly elegant member of your glass collection: a useful choice for short cocktails served chilled, straight up and without ice in the glass.

The compact bowl suits a drink you want to enjoy a little at a time. Its curved sides bring the rim closer together than a broad coupe, while the stem gives your hand somewhere to rest away from the bowl. Leave a little space at the top for a comfortable first sip.

Try it with a Last Word, Hanky Panky or Martinez. The same approach works for a small alcohol-free cocktail: balance the drink first, chill it well, and choose a garnish that complements the glass instead of filling it.

A place on the home bar

A pair of Nick & Nora glasses is an easy starting point when cupboard space is limited. Keep the glasses within reach of your mixing glass and strainer, ready for a quiet Friday drink or an impromptu round for two.

Chill the glass while you prepare the recipe, then strain the finished drink into it. A citrus twist or a single cocktail cherry is often all the finishing touch it needs. Check the maker’s care instructions before cleaning, and give the delicate stem a little room in storage.
