Glasses To Serve Vodka Drinks In

Highball- these are glass tumblers that are taller and used to serve mixed drinks that contain a large proportion of a non-alcoholic mixer, and are poured over ice.
Martini- this glass is specifically used to serve martinis in which will be comprised of mostly, if not all vodka.
Coupe- A smaller drinking glass that has a moderately thick stem and shallow bowl. It is used for cocktails that have a stronger ratio of alcohol but not like a martini.
Lowball- This glass is also called an old fashioned or rocks glass. It is short and wide with a sturdy bottom made to hold less ice than a highball glass. It's great for vodka on the rocks with a twist or stronger vodka drinks with little mixers.
