Crystal Glass Whisky Glasses Soho 320ml, Diamond Cut (Pack of 6)

A drink served over ice depends on one thing: how long it stays cold without watering down. A large cube melts more slowly than many small ones, but it needs a glass that can hold it. With an 80mm diameter the Soho crystal glass whisky glasses take a large cube or an ice sphere, and the spirit keeps its flavour to the last sip.

The 320ml capacity leaves room for the ice and the serve without reaching the rim. The bartender builds the drink straight in the glass and takes it to the guest without pouring it into another one, and the bar stays cleaner.

What to serve in crystal glass whisky glasses

Whisky neat or on the rocks, first of all. Then the cocktails built in the glass: an Old Fashioned, a Negroni, a Boulevardier, a Rum Old Fashioned. The low, wide shape lets the aromas of the spirit and of the twist expressed over the drink rise.

The manufacturer’s catalogue presents the Soho line as a tribute to the 1920s. In a cocktail bar with period furniture, in a speakeasy or in a hotel bar, the Soho crystal glass whisky glasses bring the design of those years to the bar, in the most used glass on the spirits list.

At home they are the glasses for the evening whisky and the Negroni with friends. Six identical glasses, with a design that gets noticed, and after the evening they go in the dishwasher.

The low tumbler is one of the glasses that turns over most, because it serves both spirits and built cocktails. With 25 drinks in an hour and a wash cycle every 40 minutes, you need 18 glasses, that is 3 packs. For a room with a spirits list, add one spare pack.

In packs of six the set is topped up in identical blocks, and the table that orders four Old Fashioneds gets them all in the same glass.

The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 packs -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in the basket.

The whisky glass and the other Soho shapes

In the Soho line, next to the whisky glass, there are the 316ml Grand Cru coupe, the 276ml coupe, the 250ml cocktail glass, the 405ml long drink and the 380ml juice glass. With the whisky glass and the long drink you serve every drink over ice on the list, with the coupes and the cocktail glass those served without. The other low tumblers are in the old fashioned glasses category.

The gesture behind the bar

The large cube goes into the glass first, then the drink is poured from the mixing glass down the ice. The vertical cut lines guide the eye: the level reads clearly and the serve stays the same from one glass to the next.

When the bar is three deep with customers, the low tumbler is picked up from the shelf with one hand and set down without rocking: at 94mm tall and 80mm across the centre of gravity stays low and the glass stays put, even on the tray.
