Margarita Glasses Grandezza 340ml, Crystal Glass (Pack of 6)

The Margarita glass is wide at the top and slim at the stem, and that makes it one of the glasses most likely to tip over on the tray. Stölzle Lausitz declares a sturdy build for the Grandezza collection, stable in the hand and on the table: for whoever carries four Margaritas to the floor at once, that is the deciding feature.

The second point is the salt rim. The edge is wetted, dipped in salt and the glass goes back on the bar top. With a 111mm rim the crust is wide, and the guest chooses at every sip whether to drink from the salted side or the clean one.

What to serve in margarita glasses

The classic Margarita, shaken and strained, and the Frozen Margarita, which at 340ml has room for the blended crushed ice and the lime garnish on the rim. The same glass serves the fruit variations, the Tommy’s Margarita and the tequila and mezcal drinks served without ice.

Beyond tequila drinks, the wide rim and the capacity also suit blended fruit cocktails and spoon desserts. Margarita glasses on the table are recognised from across the room, and the drink sells on sight as well.

At home they are the glasses for a Mexican night and the summer aperitivo. The drink comes out as it does at the bar partly because the shape is right, and after the evening the glasses go in the dishwasher.

The Margarita glass is used for few drinks on the list, but those go out in groups: whoever orders one Margarita often orders four. With 20 Margaritas in an evening and a wash halfway through service, 12 glasses are enough, that is 2 packs. For a themed party, count one glass per guest.

The pack of six lets you reorder in identical blocks: the table of four always gets four identical glasses.

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.

Margarita glasses next to the coupes

In the cocktail coupes category the margarita glasses sit next to the coupes for sparkling wine and the stemmed glasses for stirred drinks. Among the stemmed glasses in this range, the Margarita glass has the widest rim after the Swing coupe, and it is the only one designed for the salt rim.

The gesture behind the bar

The bartender runs a lime wedge round the rim, turns the glass upside down in the salt dish and gives it half a turn: the crust covers half the circumference. Then the drink is shaken, fine strained, and the lime wheel goes on the rim.

If the glasses are rimmed before service, the stable base of the Grandezza collection allows a row of them to wait on the bar top without fear of knocking them over. When the order comes in, the drink is strained and goes out at once.
