Across
- 4. Have a smaller mouth area, and therefore a smaller surface area to aerate so that wine does not oxidize too fast.
- 7. Is an inverted cone bowl, which can come in a variety of sizes, usually around 3 to 6 ounces. It is used to serve cocktails without ice, or ‘up.’
- 9. Differ from the traditional cocktail glass by generally having a larger bowl and being fully conical at the bottom.
- 11. Is a glass tumbler used to serve ‘tall’ cocktails and other mixed drinks that contain a large proportion of a non-alcoholic mixer, and are poured over ice.
Down
- 1. Developed by New Orleans tavern owner Pat O’Brien in the 1940s, was first poured into hurricane lamp-shaped glasses; hence the name.
- 2. It derives from traditional nosing glasses used by master blenders, borrowing the wide bowl to show off the color and help expose the aromas, but instead uses a tapered mouth to allow easier drinking.
- 3. Have a larger, rounder bowl in order to swirl the wine easily and help aerate it. A long stem will also keep the hand away from the drink in order to prevent it from becoming too warm.
- 5. A “stepped-diameter variant of a cocktail glass.”
- 6. Is tall with a thin bowl and small mouth.
- 8. Has a very short stem that is supposed to be cradled in the hand, helping warm the drink it contains. The large bowl allows the drink to be swirled, and a shorter mouth traps aromas and allows the drinker to enjoy a more prominent smell as they sip.
- 10. Old Fashioned glass, or rocks glass, are all names for a short tumbler with a solid base which holds around 6 to 8 ounces of liquid. A solid base aids with drinks that require ‘muddled’ ingredients.
