LET'S LOOK AT THE VARIOUS TYPES OF COCKTAIL GLASSES AVAILABLE:

Classic and well-know shaped glass. Typical volume: 250ml / 8.8 Oz.

Highball glass (aka Collins glass or Slim Jim) Typical volume of 350 to 400 ml / 12.3 to 14.1 Oz. Typical uses: Bloody Mary, Harvey Wallbanger Lowball glass (short version of the highball) Typical volume: 250 to 300 ml / 8.8 to 10.6 Oz. Typical uses: drinks with a high proportion of mixer to alcohol. Often, cocktails with whiskey as the base ingredient are served in lowball glasses. Wine glass Typical volume: / 8.8 to 10.6 Oz. 250 to 300 ml Typical uses: wine, any cocktail

Typical uses: Martini, of course. Also used for margaritas. Any drink looks good in it. A slight draw back is its small volume content which makes it less suitable for large cocktails with many ingredients. It's very easy to spill your cocktail due to the glass' shape, so be careful - this is not the type of glass you want to take onto the dance floor. Some call this a "cocktail glass".

The French Pearl The French Pearl is another great creation of Audrey Saunders of New York City. It is sweet, but not sweet in the sense of the typical sweet cocktails, this one is what I would call botanically sweet. There is the rich Plymouth Gin, the aromatic Pernod Absinthe, which is chilled by fresh mint, then a little rock candy syrup for flavor and fun. The lime brings it all together with a touch of sour and citrus, though I do caution you to avoid using a sweetened lime juice because the cocktail will be too sweet. With all of these great flavors combined, the French Pearl is a great drink, especially for Valentine's Day. Prep Time: 2 minutes Total Time: 2 minutes Ingredients:
