Colours, spirits, tastes and personalities; merge them all and we get cocktails!

Why decide between a square and a circle when you can have both. These cocktail glasses let you have the best of both worlds, stand out with their exceptional form and make you stand out with them. Serve as you fancy, be it a cocktail, mocktail or an ice-cream.

The technique of hand-blowing glass dates back to centuries ago, and was so refined back then that it hardly underwent any improvisations post the inception. Such is the perfection in these glasses. However, since it’s human-made the irregularities are embraced with lots of love and in all shades of red.

Tall. Sleek. Beautiful. The champagne glasses don’t only hold your cocktails gracefully but also enhances it for you to drink from.
