Gin Cocktails deserve beautiful glassware, Humdinger explains why

Our customers enjoy the whole experience of drinking Humdinger Gin — whether it's in a gin cocktail or straight on the rocks.

Delight is taken in recognising hints of citrus on the nose, right through the juniper body to the refreshing aftertaste that lingers on the palate.

All this is possible with glassware that has been designed with this in mind.

Copa – the classic gin glass

Gin glasses shaped with a large, wide bowl tend to heighten the aroma and enhance the flavour of your gin of choice. Sometimes called a balloon glass, the copa is a bulbous bowl on a stem, like a wine glass.

The copa's spacious, wide bowl lets botanicals and garnishes work their magic and infuse your drink with aroma and flavour, making it great for particularly floral, fruity or fragrant gins, such as Humdinger Citrus Gin. The thin stem helps stop your hands melting the ice too quickly.

Highball – perfect for tall gin drinks

Over summer, there's nothing so refreshing as a tall gin drink with plenty of ice.

The highball's tall, sleek shape helps keep your drink cool and the tonic water fizzing. It's also a popular choice for gin-based cocktails such as the Foghorn.

The Martini Glass

A gin Martini could be the crème de la crème of gin cocktails. The wide brim gives the drink greater exposure to air, which helps the spirit open up, while the steeply sloping sides stop the ingredients separating and support a toothpick or cocktail skewer of olives. The perfect choice for Humdinger's Martini.

So there you have it: three reasons to choose the right glass for each gin cocktail. Need a great gin cocktail recipe? Check out our gin cocktails with Humdinger right here.
