apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This is probably actually a great step forward because I'm pretty sure everyone thinks traditional martini glasses are horrible to drink from!! (some bartenders only serve martini's in tumblers because they are so difficult)

I love the shape of a regular martini glass. Cocktails served in stemware feel more festive to me. Drinking from a functional tub deflates the experience.

These are cool. I think they're more festive than just a plain tumbler. And they're unusual, so I think that would add to the "experience."

I like the stems also, but these are a cool diversion. I think traditions are okay for some times, but I also think some people can get themselves stuck in wanting to adhere to stuffy rules, being "authentic," or really just enjoy themes of an earlier era. I like to see new ways of looking at things. It's not always successful, but we try and see. There's nothing wrong with serving your martinis in something current once in a while. It has a flair.

I'll be the first to say: Ugly

i think they're fun, but i'd be concerned about the thick rounded lip that you sip from. i like the clean thinness of good quality stemware.

What I like about a regular martini glass, in theory at least, is the fact that when people are drinking them, it takes a certain amount of sobriety to keep from spilling them, so they tend to stop before they spill. Me, I'll stick to my red wine, actually, I only think these are KIND of pretty.

I think that this is an interesting idea. It's certainly worth a try and it would certainly be a conversation piece.

Looks like a funnel. Seeing it reminds me that I should check the oil in my car's engine, not shake up a martini.

Cool idea.

i thought at first the that you could put ice in the bottom part, so that the last sip of your martini would be as bracing as the first.
