The Fizz small coupe glass in two lines
The Fizz is a classic coupe in lead-free glass holding 220ml, in packs of six. It sits at the lower end of the coupe band, and it is the size at which this shape stops being awkward to carry.
Who it is for
For anyone who has worked out that a coupe spills and wants to keep it anyway. It is a beautiful shape and a structurally unstable one: the flared wall pushes the liquid towards the rim at every change of direction, and whoever carries the drinks to the table knows it. Coming down to 220ml reduces both the surface and the lever arm, and the result is a bowl you can carry without walking a tightrope.
The proportion between the drink and the bowl
A shaken cocktail finishes between 100 and 140ml. In a 220ml bowl that measure fills around half the volume, and that is the proportion service considers correct: the drink looks full, the rim stays free by a couple of centimetres, and the waiter has a margin. Going up to 270 or 330ml the same measure drops below half and the drink starts to look thin, with the temptation to inflate the recipe to fill the glass, which is the quickest way to unbalance a classic.

Choose the Fizz if
You want the coupe but table service is long or crowded. If the bowls stay at the bar and the guest picks them up, a wider size makes more of a scene and costs nothing in spillage.
The name and the drink
A fizz is a sour lengthened with soda, and in its classic form it is served without ice in a tall narrow glass. The name of this line nods to that family rather than prescribing it: a 220ml coupe carries a gin fizz served short and unlengthened, a strained sour or a Daiquiri perfectly well. Egg white foam in particular spreads across a wide rim in an even layer that is part of the presentation.
Care
Dishwasher without trouble. With egg white drinks it is worth rinsing straight after service: protein drying on glass is more stubborn than sugar and the wash fixes it. Watch the basket load, as with every stemmed glass.
Lead-free glass and daily service
The Fizz is lead-free glass, which on glassware meant for continuous service is the right choice for the contents as well: a drink served up sits in the glass for the whole of the drinking. On the practical side, it takes daily washing without the care a lead crystal would ask for, and that makes it a bar glass rather than a display glass.
FAQ
Does the Fizz spill easily? Less than wider coupes: the contained size cuts the surface and the swing, and that is why it exists.
Does it contain lead? No, it is lead-free glass.
Does it work for drinks with egg white? Yes, and the wide rim spreads the foam in an even layer.
How much drink fits? A finished shaken cocktail, 100 to 140ml, fills it to around half: that is the correct proportion.
Does it need hand washing? No, it goes in the dishwasher. With egg white, rinse straight after service.
Does it suit alcohol-free drinks? Yes, the shape does not change: what changes is the recipe.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 packs -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
