The 505ml pineapple glass in two lines
This pineapple glass is a tiki glass in tempered glass, shaped like a pineapple: 505ml, with a raised surface that recalls the skin of the fruit. It is sold in a pack of 6.
It is made for long tropical drinks, the ones with plenty of ice, juice and a tall garnish. A bar chooses a pineapple glass when the drink has to be recognisable before it is tasted.
Why tempered glass matters behind the bar
Tempered glass is treated to withstand knocks and temperature changes better than ordinary glass. For a pineapple glass that goes from the glass washer to the ice dozens of times a night, that means fewer broken pieces to buy again and fewer chipped glasses to throw out at the end of a shift.
A showpiece shape has one drawback: it costs more to replace than a straight glass. Here the material works in the bar’s favour, because the pineapple glass stands up to a fast hand during peak service.
What to serve in a pineapple glass
At 505ml a full tiki drink fits with its ice: a Painkiller, a Zombie, a Piña Colada served long. The garnish of leaves and fruit sits high on the rim, and the glass holds it up without any other accessory.
At home the case is not very different. One pack of 6 covers a tropical evening with friends, and the shape does half the work of the presentation.
The garnish on the rim
The elongated pineapple shape carries the garnish upwards: a mint leaf, a slice of lime and a long straw stay visible above the rim, without sinking into the ice. Whoever serves knows where the garnish goes, and the gesture is the same at the end of the night with wet hands.
Crushed ice stays in the lower, narrower part and leaves the upper part free for the drink. The glass is filled in two steps and served without spilling.
How many pineapple glasses you need
Count the tiki drinks on the list, not the covers. If 30 of this type go out in a night, with one wash halfway through service, 12 pineapple glasses are enough, which is 2 packs, plus a few spare. For an event or catering job, start from one pack for every 6 guests.
The pineapple glass is an ongoing catalogue item from the distributor: the same model stays available to reorder, and the set is not broken up by a different shape.
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 pineapple glass next to the other tiki shapes
In the tiki and mug category the pineapple glass sits next to ceramic mugs and glasses with the tiki face. It is the one that stands out for its outline and not for its pattern: choose it when the list has a single tropical drink and you want it to be the first thing guests see.

Pineapple glass FAQ
How many pineapple glasses are in the pack? Six glasses. The price is for the whole pack.
Is the pineapple glass made of tempered glass? Yes. The glass is tempered, so it stands up to knocks and temperature changes better than ordinary glass.
Is it dishwasher safe? The manufacturer does not state it. Because of the relief shape, a glass-washer basket with compartments is the better choice, as it holds the glass still during the wash.
Can I reorder the same glass later? Yes, it is an ongoing item: it stays available to order after the first purchase.
