Lowball Glass
(LOH-bawl glas)
A lowball glass, also known as a rocks glass or an old-fashioned glass, is a short and sturdy tumbler used for serving various types of alcoholic beverages. The lowball glass is characterized by its relatively short height, wide mouth, and thick base. It’s a versatile glassware option commonly used for cocktails that don’t require a large volume and are typically served with ice.
Key features of a lowball glass include:
Short Height: Lowball glasses are shorter than highball glasses, making them well-suited for drinks that are served with a smaller volume.
Wide Mouth: The wide mouth of the glass allows for easy access to the beverage and the inclusion of ice cubes.
Thick Base: The glass typically has a thick and sturdy base to provide stability, especially when muddling ingredients or when the glass is placed on a surface.
