The Old-Fashioned glass, rocks glass, or lowball glass is a short tumbler used for serving an alcoholic beverage with ice cubes ("on the rocks"). It is also used to serve cocktails having few ingredients, such as the White Russian. It is named after the Old Fashioned cocktail, traditionally served in such a glass.
Contemporary American "Old-Fashioned" and "rocks" glasses may hold as much as 8–12 fluid ounces (22–34 cL), and may be used to serve a wide variety of beverages over ice, such as whiskey. However, it is quite common to see old-fashioned glasses holding significantly less than 8 ounces. A "double old-fashioned" is often considered to hold 12 ounces.
