The glasses

Every glass the Cabin serves a drink in, drawn as the artwork is drawn: what each one holds, what it is good for, and where it came from. A recipe page names the glass its drink comes in, and the name is the way here.

Coupe

The wide, shallow bowl that half the classics are served in, and the oldest glass here.

33 cocktails
Martini glass

The V-shaped stemmed glass that has meant gin and vermouth since the 1920s.

3 cocktails
Rocks glass

Short, heavy and wide: the glass for a drink built over one big cube.

24 cocktails
Highball

The tall, narrow tumbler that made the long drink possible.

35 cocktails
Hurricane glass

The curvy one, and the reason a rum drink looks like a holiday.

7 cocktails
Champagne flute

Tall and narrow, built to keep what a coupe lets go.

8 cocktails
Wine glass

The stemmed bowl the Cabin borrows for anything served over crushed ice.

7 cocktails
Copper mug

The cold, heavy, metal-handed glass a Moscow Mule is built in.

2 cocktails
Julep cup

Silver or pewter, with the ice piled above the rim and a frost on the outside.

1 cocktail
Stemmed heatproof glass

The stemmed glass a hot drink is built in, with its collar of cream on top.

1 cocktail

The drawings are the Cabin's own, and stand in for a photograph on any drink nobody has photographed: the glass is read out of the recipe's own line, so a Ginger Mule is drawn in a copper mug and an Old Fashioned in a rocks glass. Capacities are to the brim rather than a recommended pour, and none of these are rules - a drink tastes the same in the wrong glass.
