Cocktails are also called mixed drinks (English: mixed drinks), which include mixed drinks with or without alcohol. The characteristics are that most cocktails need to be treated with ice or added with ice, so the glasses used for cocktails include goblets, such as champagne cups (flute shaped and tulip shaped) and shallow dish champagne cups; There are also flat bottomed cups, such as old-fashioned cups and golf cups. When it comes to the production characteristics of cocktails mentioned above, it is generally said that cocktails need to be treated with ice. Therefore, when drinking a cocktail, you cannot directly touch the cup body with your hands, so as not to affect the flavor of the wine due to the temperature of your hands. Therefore, among the aforementioned glasses, the shallow dish champagne cup is often used to hold cocktails because of its high legs, so the shallow dish champagne cup is specially called “cocktail cup”.
The Old Fashioned Glass, also known as the flat bottom cup and the wide mouth short leg cup, is also a common cup type. The cup edge is wide and the bottom is thick, so some non liquid ingredients can be directly crushed in the cup. Classic cups are suitable for all kinds of drinks. Many cocktails with ice will use this cup type (such as classic whisky with ice), and some cocktails with golf cups can also use this cup type. The goblet is taller than the classical cocktail cup, shorter than the Colin cup mentioned later, but wider and stronger. It is a classic goblet of golf cocktails, which can be seen in almost every bar. The golf cup has a wide range of applications. The cocktail usually contains a lot of ice, mixed with various drinks and other spices.
