We have a set of highball glasses for everyday use in our household. We like the straight, rectilinear shape of the cylinder and the straightforward clear glass finish.
Ours were purchased at Ikea, actually, years ago and we can't find them there anymore. But many other retailers carry similar glasses...










I love highballs for everyday drinkware. I bought these from Target (on sale) and love them.

I was going to get highballs from Crate and Barrel because they were cheaper, however they were thinner and felt cheaper. I love the feeling of heavier weighted glass.
I also saw these, they were a heavier weight and a simple twist on the plain highball. However, I don't really want to pay $80 for everyday drinkware.

The Riedel Vivant line at Target includes great highball glasses.

There's a great set of glasses by Schott Zweisel called Tossa. They are a bit on the pricey side, but they're a heavier weight and made of a titanium crystal so they're gonna last a little longer than regular glass.

ANother great choice, though less visually interesting, are Convention by the same company. They're about 1/2 the price.

The scout glasses from Crate and Barrel are being discontinued, and are on sale for 99 cents each. I bought a set of 12 highball, and 12 rocks. They might not have them on their website anymore, but you can find them at the crate and barrel outlet in Berkeley on 4th street.

Every time we go to a Caribbean hotspot, we take 6 from the hotel. Our cupboard is full of highballs from Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. It's become a strange collection and hobby, this international-glassware-theft.
