about the glassware
At Silk, we believe that savoring a cocktail is an art form, a sensory experience that extends far beyond the taste buds. An extraordinary cocktail isn’t just about the spirits and mixers within—the vessel that cradles it is just as vital. The right glass elevates your drink, enhancing the nuances of aroma, flavor, temperature, and even the aesthetics. From the comforting weight of a rocks glass to the seductive slender stem of a martini glass, each component plays its part in the grand performance that is your drink.
An emblem of elegance, its cone maintains coolness, unifies ingredients, and amplifies aromatic allure.
MARTINI
An elegant extension, the long stem allows you to hold your drink without warming the contents, keeping things icy (just how we like it).
HIGHBALL
A tumbler caters to towering cocktails, designed to cradle drinks with a cascade of ice.
Its spacious interior ensures a delightful harmony between spirits and mixers.
COLLINS
Tall and cylindrical, it maintains a cool sip and prevents dilution.
Bubbly and bold—It’s slenderness only enhances the carbonation of your cocktail.
ROCKS / LOWBALL
Hearty and honest, its compact form ensures chill, melds flavors, and delivers intensity with each sip.
Typically served over ice, hence “rocks”
SNIFTER
Designed with a petite stem, the snifter invites a gentle cradle in your hand, subtly warming the contents it houses.
A smaller mouth traps atoms and allows the drinker to enjoy a prominent smell as they sip.
COUPE
A nod to vintage glamour and an evolution of the martini glass; the rules of holding by the stem to preserve temperature still apply here.
Designed with higher sides to prevent spillage and served “up,” meaning no ice.
MARGARITA
Similar to a martini or a coupe glass, but designed to hold more liquid. It’s dual-bowl design embraces the frosty swirl of a frozen Margarita, while the ample rim invites a salty or sweet garnish with ease.
Mirroring an inverted sombrero, the glass playfully nods to its Mexican roots.
CORDIAL
Petite and stemmed, the Cordial glass is tailored to hold a treasured pour of your favorite cordial or liqueur (1.5 - 2oz).
Its elongated stem keeps your hand from the liquid-filled bowl, maintaining the ideal temperature for your sip.
