The cocktail glasses I use have the upper half inch of glass set on a less severe angle. It still looks elegant and is obviously a cocktail glass but handles much easier. Bought them at Cost Plus World Market.

Being possessed of a very, very tiny apartment kitchen with nearly no cupboard space, I rely on some very handy champagne saucers to serve bubbly, cocktails and margaritas alike. Anything that goes up goes in those (unless I need more room, whence I turn to the snifters).

As for the rest, chimney glasses and tiki mugs don't take up much room, and my small and large (12oz and 6oz) juice

This all reminds me: The one glass type I also use fairly regularly (mostly for Martinis)is the two-piece cocktail glass with the separate, bowl-shaped base meant to hold crushed ice and keep your drink chilled.

I like it, and it *does* seem to keep your drink from warming up as fast...but it doesn't seem practical for use anywhere other than at home.

You can't beat the elegance of a cocktail glass as far as I'm concerned, though as you say they can be a little unsteady to hold when full. That's why I love the thick-stemmed glasses Urban Bar make - they look great and they're much more stable both in my hand and on a table.

I just bought myself a decent set of highball glasses, and I'm quite pleased with them, particularly when filled with '34 Zombie Punch.

Damn you Bamboo! I was halfway through a similar post that I was hoping to finish by the end of the week. Now you have to go and beat me to the punch!!

Curse you and your faster typing fingers and fancy artwork and letter-filled words!!!

I'm a big fan of the the tiki mug as well, for the same reasons you list.

Teardrop has taken to using smaller, prohibition era cocktail glasses, and for regular cocktails, the fluted trumpet. It's nice thick barware, hold a good portion of drink, and is much more difficult to spill.

I stopped using Tiki mugs awhile back, as I started to appreciate the beauty of the drinks inside. Though your take on
