Glassware is an important part of any bar whether it is a bustling tavern on the corner or in your den. Often, the more personal the glassware, the more delicate and fragile the glassware. However, times are a changin’. Along with more improved taste and flavor to spirits, glassware is evolving and changing to meet the demands of a technologically advanced society. Today, while the general overall design is relatively untouched, the materials continue to improve. Stainless steel martini glasses are a good example of this technology in use.
There are a few reasons that stainless steel martini glasses are so popular. First, a stainless steel martini glass is not as fragile as glass or crystal. Even plastic can be broken long before stainless steel will start to deteriorate. Second, stainless steel martini glasses are not as heavy as one would first imagine. Usually, stainless steel martini glasses only weigh a few extra ounces. Third, stainless steel keep things cold better. This translates to you have a cooler drink inside and out. Finally, stainless steel is simply unique and wonderful. There is nothing quite as beautiful and odd than a stainless steel glass. These beauties are sure to liven up even the most boring of potential evenings.
One important thing that anyone who appreciates a good martini can understand is that keeping that martini cool can be quite the challenge. Of course, there are manufacturers that have created a couple solutions for that dilemma. One is a common idea: the glass bowl martini chiller. This contraption holds ice and you place your martini glass into the ice until the top of the stem is no longer showing. This is an affordable option and used quite commonly. However, the other option is not so common: Mr. Freeze. This wonderful device stands on three stainless steel legs (that happen to be detachable as well) and is roughly 2-inches taller than your stainless steel martini glasses. There is a circular container on the top that holds ice and a perfect fit holder for your martini glass. You simply slide your martini glass into the pre-made slot and you get a martini that is super cold.
Often, simple martini glasses are not enough. Have you ever considered having your martini glasses monogrammed? Stainless steel is perfect for etching and monogramming something into the martini glass. You can etch in your name or logo – anything you can imagine. You can truly create your own works of art from a stainless steel martini glass.
You can get stainless steel glassware at almost any specialty shop and more retail chains are choosing to offer various forms of this idea on a seasonal basis. Shopping online is a growing trend that will be sure to please that picky person who demands only 110%. You can purchase these beauties for around $20 USD a pair, but the price is well worth the quality and durability you will be getting with stainless steel.
