The stainless steel Martini glass in brief
The Bond is a Lumian cocktail glass in stainless steel with a silver finish. It holds 200ml, stands 14cm tall and weighs 125g. The shape is the classic Martini glass: a wide cone bowl, a straight slim stem and a flat round foot. Lumian also makes it in a copper-plated 230ml version.
Who it is for
Cocktail bars serving the Martini and stirred drinks served up: Dry Martini, Gibson, Vesper, Manhattan, Gimlet. It is the glass the guest recognises for these drinks. Steel solves the problem of the glass Martini glass, which with its long stem and wide bowl is the most fragile piece of glassware: it breaks in the glass washer, it breaks when knocked on the bar top, and if it breaks near the ice well the ice has to be burned, thrown away and replaced. A stainless steel Martini glass does not chip.
It also suits places where glass is banned or travels badly: poolside, terraces, beach clubs, events and outdoor catering.
At home it is the glass for a Martini or a Manhattan that does not mind the sink and passes from hand to hand at a party without any worry.
How a stainless steel Martini glass works
A Martini is stirred in the mixing glass with a bar spoon and strained into the glass without ice, so it is the glass that keeps the drink cold. Put the stainless steel Martini glass in the freezer before service, or fill it with ice and water while you stir and empty it at the last moment. When the surface frosts, it is ready.
Two hundred millilitres is a proper Martini size: the strained drink fills the bowl without reaching the rim, leaving room for an olive on a pick or a lemon twist expressed over the top. At 125g it is light in the hand; the straight stem is held between the fingers without touching the bowl, so the hand does not warm the drink.

How many stainless steel Martini glasses you need
Count them on the drink that uses them, on a busy night: those in the freezer, those at the table, those in the wash. For each drink on the menu served in the stainless steel Martini glass, the count starts at six. The advantage of steel shows at the end of the season: the number of glasses is still what it was on the first day, while with glass you reorder to cover breakages.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
The stainless steel Martini glass alongside the others

Care
Hot water and mild detergent at the end of service, with a soft sponge, never a scourer, to keep the polished finish unmarked. The maker does not state that it is dishwasher safe, so we recommend hand washing. Dry straight away with a cloth so the polished steel dries without limescale marks.
