Long drink glasses
By definition, a long drink is a small amount of liquor topped up with plenty of ice and mixer, and it calls for a glass that is tall and narrow. Tall, to leave room for a generous layer of ice. Narrow, so the carbonation in the tonic or soft drink does not escape immediately but rises slowly to the top.
In this collection, capacities range from 22 cl for a tubo to 65 cl for the largest model, with Arcoroc, Onis, Duralex, and Bormioli Rocco being the series most often seen behind the bar. The difference between these sizes is greater than it may seem, because the mixer determines which glass you need.

A good highball glass is all about proportion and presentation. Its tall shape leaves room for ice, soda, and spirits in precisely the right balance, while aromas are subtly released with every sip.

FAQ
What is a highball glass?
A highball glass is a tall glass specially suited for cold drinks with ice, carbonation, or mixed drinks. Highball glasses are usually taller and slimmer than a standard water glass, making them ideal for cocktails, soft drinks, and water with garnishes.
What do you use long drink glasses for?
Long drink glasses are used for water, soft drinks, juice, cocktails, and mixed drinks. A long drink glass is perfect for beverages that need extra room for ice cubes, fruit, or herbs such as mint and lime.
What is the ideal capacity of a highball glass?
The right capacity depends on what you want to use the glass for. For water or soft drinks, 27 to 35 cl is often a good size. For cocktails or drinks with lots of ice, many people prefer a glass of 35 to 50 cl. That’s why it’s always a good idea to check the capacity in ml or cl carefully.
What is the difference between highball glasses and regular drinking glasses?
Regular drinking glasses are often a little lower and more compact. Long-drink glasses are taller and therefore provide more room for ice, carbonation, and garnishes. That is precisely why they are so suitable for soft drinks, cocktails, and water.
Are highball glasses suitable for cocktails?
Yes, absolutely. Highball glasses are widely used for cocktails such as mojitos, gin and tonics, and Cuba libres. The height of the glass provides plenty of room for ice, mixers, and garnishes. They therefore combine an attractive presentation with practical use.
Which highball glasses are practical for small kitchens?
If you have limited cupboard space, stackable glasses are a smart choice. They take up less room and are convenient for everyday use. This is especially practical in smaller kitchens or crowded cupboards.
Which highball glasses are suitable for hospitality use?
For the hospitality industry, sturdy and versatile models are especially suitable. Glasses that can withstand intensive use and are easy to store are the most practical. Stackable options or sets are therefore popular in bars, restaurants, and on terraces.
Are there also luxurious or eye-catching highball glasses?
Yes, there are also long drink glasses with a more luxurious or distinctive look. Think of glasses with embossed details, a slim design, or a colored finish. They instantly add more ambiance to the table or bar.
Are there also large highball glasses?
Yes, larger versions are also available, such as 500 ml glasses. They are useful for water, soft drinks, iced coffee, or cocktails with plenty of ice. Always check the exact capacity to make sure the glass suits your intended use.
Are there alternatives to glass?
Yes, for outdoor use or events, plastic versions are a convenient alternative. They have the look of a highball glass but are more practical when real glass is less suitable.
Are square highball glasses popular?
Square highball glasses are popular with people who appreciate a modern, sleek look. They offer a different appearance from a classic round glass and create a striking presentation on the table or at the bar.
What do people often search for when they search for Xenos highball glasses or Bacardi highball glasses?
People who search for such terms are often looking for affordable or eye-catching glasses with a distinctive appearance. Ultimately, most people pay particular attention to the model, capacity, design, and quality of the glass.
