Pretty glasses can be great, but they may not always be practical for outdoor drinkware storage purposes. If you want your party to go as smoothly as possible and be easily stored away afterwards.
Williams-Sonoma offers an assortment of shatterproof glassware sets. Choose between full collections that include pitchers and highball glasses as well as individual options such as cocktail, martini, and wine glasses.
1. DuraClear Tritan Drinkware Set
An impressive collection of glasses elevates any home and expresses your personal style, from fancy wine glasses from your in-laws or handmade sets from overseas. Additionally, having glassware that stands up well against weather elements is invaluable when entertaining outdoors or having children around.
DuraClear Tritan plastic creates this casual drinkware set, giving it the look and feel of glass without cracking, breaking, clouding or discoloring over time. Included are wine glasses and water glasses as well as a pitcher with an easy spout perfect for beverages like lemonade and iced coffee.
Your search ends here with acrylic margarita glasses designed to accommodate any salty cocktail, and slender rocks glasses with unique finger indentations that make sipping your favorite spritzer extra enjoyable. Plus, use them to serve a refreshing pitcher of sangria or batch of hibiscus lemonade!
2. Martini Glasses
A well-stocked bar should include several martini glasses. These long stemmed glasses are great for Cosmopolitans, Martinis and Manhattans as they allow all ingredients to stay separate while allowing garnishes like olives to stand upright upright while still letting aromas come through.
Rocks glasses should be part of every outdoor drinking set. These glasses typically hold between 6-14 ounces and work perfectly for single-serve drinks such as an Old-Fashioned or double-Old-Fashioned.
There are also wine glasses in this selection, along with acrylic margarita glasses ideal for happy hour fajitas. In addition, there are drink dispensers which come in multiple sizes and styles with convenient pouring spouts; additionally there are glass pitchers ideal for serving water and tea from this collection.
3. Plastic Tumblers
Plastic tumblers provide an attractive solution for those who appreciate the look of glass but fear its breakability, without risking breakage. Many high-end designs resemble real glasses while these outdoor-appropriate glasses can also be used at events with more formalized atmospheres. Lightweight, shatterproof plastic tumblers can hold all types of beverages ranging from sangria to margaritas without breaking.
Many acrylic glasses can be customized to display a restaurant’s logo or custom design, making them promotional items or souvenirs for customers. Furthermore, reputable foodservice plastic manufacturers have engineered these cups with weak points reduced, to prevent cracking or chipping; both PC and SAN materials tend to resist chemical corrosion more effectively than one another; their clarity may differ depending on raw materials used and manufacturing process used during manufacture.
4. Champagne Flutes & Coupes
Cumbria Crystal offers stunning hand-cut champagne glasses to match any special event or social gathering, such as parties. One popular style is the champagne flute; its narrow bowl allows bubbly to remain fizzing for longer while also enhancing aroma perception.
Contrastingly, coupe glasses feature a shallow bowl with short stem that causes bubbles to dissipate quickly – not ideal as champagne loses its fizz quickly when heated up. Luckily, modern tulip champagne glasses offer an elegant solution: with its wider bowl at the base that tapers toward its point tip it helps maintain cool, aromatic bubbly while still capturing those mesmerising bubble streams while being easy for casual social occasions.
