Revision as of 21:58, 6 September 2013
The Old Fashioned glass, lowball glass, or rocks glass is a short tumbler used for serving an alcoholic beverage, such as whisky, with ice cubes (“on the rocks”). It is also normally used to serve certain cocktails, such as the Old Fashioned, from which it receives its name.
Old Fashioned glasses typically have a wide brim, thus releasing the flavours of the drink. They also typically have a thick base (or tunc), so that the non-liquid ingredients of a cocktail can be muddled (mashed using a muddler) before the main liquid ingredients are added.
Old Fashioned glasses usually contain 6–10 US fl oz (180–300 ml).[1][2] A double Old Fashioned glass contains 12–16 US fl oz (350–470 ml).[2][3]
