Can you serve a martini in a Coup Glass? A coupe glass can be a choice for serving martinis. It has a wide rim that allows you to easily garnish the drink with an olive or lemon twist. The short stem makes it easy to hold and prevents your hand from warming up the drink too much.
Let’s explore the problems with coupe glasses while serving martini, best glasses for holding a martini, drinks a coupe glass can perfectly hold, best coupe glasses types, and the origin of coupe glasses.
Problems With Coupe Glass While Serving Martini

Best Cocktail Coupe Glasses
A martini is a classic cocktail that is typically served in a martini glass. However, you can also serve a martini in a coupe glass. A coupe glass is narrower than a martini glass and has more of a curved shape. This makes it the perfect glass for serving cocktails with fruity or sweet flavors. For example, you can serve a strawberry daiquiri in a coupe glass or even an apple cider mimosa.

Origin Of Coupe Glass
The coupe glass was first developed in the late 1800s as an alternative to traditional champagne flutes and flute-shaped glasses. It became popular at fancy hotels during Prohibition because it allowed bartenders to serve cocktails without breaking any laws by not drinking alcohol themselves (or so they thought).
In recent years, coup glasses have become synonymous with vintage cocktail culture due to their association with classic drinks like Manhattans and Negronis. Some people even use them for serving martinis! So if you want something different than your usual rocks glass or tumbler when mixing up some spirits this weekend, try using a coupe instead – we promise it’ll look pretty cool on Instagram too. 😉
“The coupe glass is a relatively new invention.” – Tom Sandham, author of The Thinking Drinkers’ Guide to Alcohol
“Like many bartenders today I use coup glasses for martinis and other cocktails that don’t need ice.” – Jim Meehan, mixologist at PDT in New York City. He goes on to explain how much easier it makes pouring liquid into them because they’re so narrow and tall compared with an old-fashioned or highball glass.

Conclusion
We recommend using the coup glass when serving drinks like Manhattans and Negronis (because they both look better). However, if you want something different than your usual rocks or tumbler then go ahead! But remember that some people use these glasses specifically because they want to drink martinis out of them, so don’t go too crazy with the experimentation. Cheers!
