The 470ml tiki glass in two lines
This tiki glass is a low tumbler in tempered glass, 470ml, with the face of a tiki deity in relief on the wall. DOF stands for double old fashioned: a wide, low glass made for a lot of ice. It is sold by the piece.
The shape is that of the service tumbler, and the face turns it into a glass for a tiki list without forcing the bar to use a ceramic mug, which is heavier and slower to wash.
A tiki glass that stands up to service
The glass is tempered, so it resists knocks and temperature changes better than ordinary glass. For a tiki glass that goes from the bar to the glass washer on every round, that means fewer breakages and fewer chips on the rim, which are the first reason a tumbler gets replaced.
The thick wall keeps the cold and gives the glass weight on the bar, and it does not slip in wet hands. These are service details you notice at the hundredth delivery of the night.
What to serve in a tiki glass
470ml is enough for a short tiki cocktail with crushed ice or large cubes: a Mai Tai, a Jungle Bird, a Rum Old Fashioned in the Polynesian style. The glass stays stable even with a tall garnish and a mint leaf on the rim.
At home it is the glass for a neat rum over ice, or for a tropical drink served without hurry. The tiki face is the subject, and no other decoration is needed.
The gesture at the bar
The glass is filled with ice up to the rim, the drink is poured and garnished with a mint leaf or a twist. The thick wall keeps the drink cold for longer, and the guest is in no hurry to finish it.
The relief face is the same on every piece. On a table of six, six identical glasses give a tidy picture, and whoever serves does not have to remember which drink goes in which glass.
How many tiki glasses you need
Count the tiki drinks served in the peak hour, plus a reserve for the glasses in the wash. With 20 tiki drinks in an hour and a wash every 40 minutes, 12 DOF tiki glasses cover the service. For an event, count one glass per guest.
The tiki glass is sold by the piece, so you buy the exact number and buy the same shape again when one breaks. It is an ongoing catalogue item from the distributor.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in the basket.
The DOF next to the other tiki glasses
In the tiki and mug category the DOF is the lowest glass of the glass series. The 590ml Cooler is taller and suits long drinks, and the 505ml Pineapple is the fruit-shaped glass. Keep the DOF for everything that is served short and over ice.

Tiki glass FAQ
What does DOF mean? Double old fashioned: a wide, low tumbler, larger than the classic old fashioned.
Is the tiki glass sold by the piece? Yes, the price is for one glass. You choose the number in the basket.
Is it tempered glass? Yes, the glass is tempered.
Is it dishwasher safe? The manufacturer does not state it. The relief face holds water, so the glass goes upside down in the basket.
