Martini glass – The timeless cocktail icon
The martini glass , also called a coupe or martini glass , is undoubtedly the most iconic of cocktail glasses. With its slender silhouette, wide conical bowl, and thin stem, it immediately embodies elegance, refinement, and the art of the cocktail. A symbol of the Dry Martini, the Cosmopolitan, and the Vesper, it has transcended decades without losing its allure.
In this category, discover our selection of professional martini glasses , designed for bars, restaurants, hotels, but also for enthusiasts wishing to recreate the atmosphere of a real cocktail bar at home.
The history and style of the martini glass
Born in the 1920s, during the golden age of mixology, the martini glass established itself as an icon of Art Deco and Hollywood glamour. Its instantly recognizable conical shape is not merely an aesthetic signature:
-
The wide opening fully releases the aromas and enriches the olfactory experience.
-
The long stem prevents the drink from warming up while being held.
-
The transparency of the glass enhances the color, clarity, and texture of the cocktails.
Today, the martini glass remains the preferred choice for "up" cocktails, served without ice, where precision, freshness and presentation are essential.

Serving an iced cocktail in an unchilled glass → loss of finesse and rapid dilution.

Chill the glass before serving (freezer or ice).
