The Mucho Martini Review

Traditional Martini Glasses

October 17, 2009

Welcome to your portal to the most functional yet elegant martini glasses available on the net.  Martini glasses have become quite the trendy item over the past 10 years.  Martini glasses come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from a more traditional design to those that push the boundaries and envelopes of all rationale.

This site is dedicated to the martini glass, and more specifically to the plastic martini glass, but traditional martini glasses certainly deserve their due, and are worthy of a lengthy homage. The glassware is not what makes a martini a martini, but it certainly helps add to the overall mystique that the martini has enjoyed over the years.

You will see a lot of cocktails served in a martini glass, but this DOES NOT mean that they are variations of the traditional martini. In fact,t here is only one accepted variation of the traditional martini and that is when vodka is used instead of gin.

Cocktails such as the Cosmopolitan and the Apple ‘tini have their place in the pop culture of the bar scene, but don’t ever think they belong to the martini family. That family is remarkably small, and just because a drink adds the word martini at the end of it, doesn’t make something like a chocolate martini worthy of any praise…
