]]> 86917 1 20 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217922/20.jpg Use a Collins glass Use the highball’s taller, skinnier cousin, the 14- to 16-ounce Collins glass, for weaker, juice-based cocktails like Cape Cods and screwdrivers. The reduced surface keeps drinks colder, longer.

]]> 86918 2 34 Tip Always put stronger cocktails in shorter glasses; they take up less space because they’ve got less mixer in them.

]]> 86919 3 39 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217922/39.jpg Know your sour glasses Use a sour glass when serving a whiskey sour or some other drink that ends in “sour.” A shorter, slightly wider version of a champagne flute, the sour glass lends elegance to drinks with a foam head and allows the drinker to preserve the cocktail’s coldness by holding it by the stem.

]]> 86920 4 55 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217922/55.jpg Be old-fashioned Serve “on-the-rocks” cocktails, which are liquor poured over ice, in an old-fashioned glass, also known as a “rocks glass.”

]]> 86921 5 63 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217922/63.jpg Plot a coup Use a coupette glass, which has a broad rim for dipping into salt or anchoring a fruit garnish, when you make margaritas and daiquiris.

]]> 86922 6 71 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217922/71.jpg Be prepared for Hurricanes Use Hurricane glasses – so named because they resemble Hurricane lanterns – to serve their namesake drink and any exotic, tropical concoctions.

]]> 86923 7 80 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217922/80.jpg Use martini glasses Use martini glasses for martinis and any shaken, strained cocktail, like a Cosmopolitan. The conical shape helps prevent ingredients from separating.

]]> 86924 8 87 Fact The term for an abnormal or insatiable craving for alcohol is dipsomania.
