Sorry if this has been covered before.
I have plenty of bar glass-ware from rocks glasses to champagne flutes to triangular-type (relatively large) martini/cocktail glasses and wine glasses in various varieties.
I am feeling dissatisfied with the triangular martini glasses for "up" cocktails. They seem a little out of style and never seemed that practical to begin with. Kind of large, never designed to be practical, etc. "Progressive" cocktail bars seem to now be using coupe glasses, or even more "trendy" Nick and Nora glasses--the latter seeming to come in various styles and sizes, but generally smaller capacity than what I have.
Anyone have any thoughts or experiences to share? I probably do not actually need any additional glass ware, but it seems like it would be fun to have some. I can see disadvantages to the coupe format. The Nick and Nora format often seems like just a small wine glass, so one could say, "why bother?" I also think there is an argument for serving up most "up" cocktails in a smaller rocks glass. Maybe not a martini, a Manhattan, or an Aviation, I suppose. But cocktails are expensive and "fun," so why scrimp on having good glasses, at least as to format. I am not looking to invest in expensive glass.
Thanks!
