Rocks Glass

A rocks glass is a type of drinkware commonly used for serving alcoholic beverages, particularly spirits served neat or with ice (“on the rocks”). Also it is known as an old-fashioned glass, lowball glass, or short tumbler,

Here are some key characteristics and uses:

Size and Shape: Rocks glasses are typically small and sturdy with a wide brim and a thick base. They usually hold between 6 to 10 ounces (180 to 300 ml) of liquid. The wide opening allows for the easy addition of ice cubes.

Purpose: The primary purpose of a rocks glass is to serve spirits either neat, with ice, or mixed in short cocktails. It’s especially popular for classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned, hence the alternative name.

Thick Base: The thick base is designed to provide stability and is often used to muddle ingredients directly in the glass, such as in the preparation of an Old Fashioned.
