Types of Gin Glasses Sets

While gifting gin glasses can be challenging due to each person's individual palate preferences, at the same time can be also very exciting. Choosing from so many different types of gin glasses is never boring, as you can find something for every person whether they like something classic, unusual or modern.

Tumbler glass set 

Tumbler glasses, even though usually linked with dark spirits, are suited for gin as well. The classic style of the tumbler glass goes well with pretty much any gin cocktail, from negronis to cobblers and brambles. The tumblers work well when drinks are sipping and savouring. They provide space for ice and mudding ingredients, like fruits, herbs etc. 

Copa de ballon

Copa de ballon or Copa glass is the most frequently used glass for gin nowadays. They are round glasses, shaped like bowls with long stems and have large capacities. This glass is mostly used for serving gin and tonic, because of the space for ice and garnish.

Highball 

Historically highball glasses or hi-ball as they are also known were the go-to for gin drinks. Highball glasses are tall, slim and narrow and also ideal for low-ley occasions or perhaps a vintage gin cocktail. Primarily they were used for gin cocktails that included soda or any kind of carbonated mixer. Because they are tall and narrow they keep the drink carbonated for a long time. 

Goblet glasses

The gin goblet glasses have curved edges and usually a very short and thick stem as their bases. This minimises the risk of stem snaps and these glasses are the perfect option if you are gifting them for people with little children. However, they are still very eye-catching and elegant. 


Giving the best gin glasses gift set is both practical and useful, but also its heartfelt present. Glassware is an eco-friendly and overall great gift for many occasions like weddings, birthdays, holidays and more. There are so many options that you can choose from for your dear gin lovers. There is no gift as valuable as the one that brings you and your friends and family closer and promises a good time and future celebrations.
