Quando si tratta di scegliere il bicchiere giusto per i cocktail, spesso si confondono i bicchieri Collins e Highball. Sebbene possano sembrare simili, hanno scopi diversi che possono influire sull'esperienza di consumo. Capire le loro differenze vi aiuterà a scegliere quello giusto per ogni drink.
What is a Collins Glass?
A Bicchiere Collins is a tall, slender glass designed for cocktails requiring more room for ice and mixers. Typically holding 10 to 14 ounces, its narrow shape helps retain carbonation, making it perfect for refreshing, effervescent drinks.
Features of a Collins Glass
- Height: Around 6 to 7 inches, taller than a highball glass
- Capacity: 10 to 14 ounces
- Shape: Slim and cylindrical, helping to preserve bubbles
- Ice Usage: Works well with large ice cubes or crushed ice
- Ideale per: Cocktails that require more mixers, such as a Tom Collins
Best Cocktails for a Collins Glass
- Tom Collins – Gin, lemon juice, sugar, soda water
- John Collins – Similar to Tom Collins but made with bourbon
- Gin Fizz – Lighter, with egg whites for a frothy texture
- Vodka Collins – A refreshing twist using vodka instead of gin
- Ramos Gin Fizz – A creamy cocktail that requires heavy shaking
The extra height of a Collins glass allows room for carbonation and mixers, keeping drinks light and refreshing.
What is a Highball Glass?
A Highball glass is shorter and wider, commonly used for drinks with a stronger spirit base and fewer mixers. It typically holds 8 to 12 ounces, making it ideal for simple two-ingredient cocktails.
Features of a Highball Glass
- Height: 5 to 6 inches, shorter than a Collins glass
- Capacity: 8 to 12 ounces
- Shape: Wider and slightly shorter than a Collins glass
- Ice Usage: Often filled with ice cubes to chill drinks quickly
- Ideale per: Spirit-forward drinks with minimal mixers
Best Cocktails for a Highball Glass
- Whiskey Highball – Whiskey, soda water, ice
- Rum and Coke – Rum, cola, ice
- Gin and Tonic – Gin, tonic water, lime wedge
- Tequila Sunrise – Tequila, orange juice, grenadine
- Moscow Mule – Vodka, ginger beer, lime juice
The highball glass’s wider shape allows flavors to blend well while keeping the drink chilled.
