Part 4, “how to make a good cocktail in- house”.

Glassware

The Selection of suitable glasses is a subject of importance, deserving a separate book of its own. No, host, be he professional or otherwise, can be expected to provide the correct receptacle for every drink, so purpose of this guide I have given few universal styles of glass. But nevertheless, it is perfectly acceptable to serve a cocktail in whatever glass you have at your place.
No mater what style of glass you choose, there are a few basic rules you should follow.

Always keeps your glassware sparkling clean.

Keep one towel handy for drying and one for polishing.

Always use a stemmed glass for cocktails served without ice, so the heat of your hand will not warm the drink.

If you are using oversized stemmed wine glasses, don’t worry if the recipe doesn’t fill the glass totally.

Always serve drinks with cocktail napkins or coasters to absorb the moisture of the outside of the glass. If this is not done, condensation will form at the bottom of the glass and leave water ring.
