Crystal Ball Gin Cherry & Elderflower flavour

Product Information

Proudly distilled in England, this enigmatic potion perfectly blends together notes of cherry and hibiscus for a delicately sweet and floral palette. While subtle hints of elderberry introduce a tart balance and endow the gin with its striking purple hue. Made from non-leaded crystal, these 12-ounce highballs are dishwasher safe and come in either clear or pink... in case you like drinking through rose-colored glasses. We observed that, while you can certainly drink carbonated beverages from this glass, its curved shape doesn’t retain the carbonation of a drink as well as a traditional highball glass. That said, the wider mouth of these glasses allow your nose to absorb more nuances, such as juniper and citrus in gin or agave notes in tequila. Overall, Godinger's heavy glasses offer vintage pizzazz without asking you to dig through an antique shop to find a matching set.

Dishwasher safe: This is quite an important thing to bear in mind when investing in gin glasses. If you’re partial to a glass with decorative decals or prefer crystal, then it’s likely it will be hand-wash only. If you like something with a bit more glamour, our Diamante Collection gin glasses are all decorated with Swarovski Elements, providing sparkle to your gin and tonic and a little tasteful bling. Take your future into your own hands with our new Crystal Ball Gin. Just give the bottle a gentle swirl and as you lose yourself in the glistening, shimmering spirit... all will be revealed. Commerce editor Danielle St. Pierre owns a set of these Beneti highballs and sings their praises: "I never realized how often I'd reach for a highball glass until I owned a matching set of my own," she says. "This set has held up nicely over my two years of use, and I like how simple, sleek, and versatile they are. I use them to serve gin & tonics over plenty of ice during the summer months and bitters with soda year-round." In terms of material, it really comes down to what you like and how you're going to use the glasses. For pool parties, we think plastic works well. A standard blown-glass highball would be nice for a gin and tonic at brunch. Crystal might be better suited for serving your in-laws a holiday tipple.Despite their cheap-as-chips price, these Copa de Balon gin glasses from Argos are made from sturdy stuff. They’re dishwasher-safe, have a whopping 630ml capacity and, as you get six in a box, they’re perfect for parties on a budget.

If you’re a fan of the dishwasher, it might be wise to steer clear of these glasses. For your average evening in, there’s nothing wrong with a dishwasher-safe glass, and most are nearly as elegant. Highball glasses are sometimes known as tumblers, drinking glasses, water glasses, and everyday glasses.

We appreciated that these glasses felt incredibly durable while still remaining well-made enough to not deter from the drinking experience. Though they have a smaller capacity, these glasses offer a sturdy, weighted base and high-quality glass. The clarity is lovely, and the lip is nice and thin, resulting in a pleasant drinking experience for juice, beer, and beyond. These would make a great smaller highball glass, and also a nice water or juice glass—or even a fun vessel for small pours of beer. There are a few different styles to choose from, and you’ll often find some variations between each type. We’ve highlighted the general features of the most popular styles here.While we loved the look and feel of the glass, we also found it to be delicate—and, in fact, we broke one while hand-washing, so handle with care. We also noted that the angled bottom and small circumference of the vessel means these aren’t the most stable glasses, so be careful putting it down, as well. A refreshing gin and tonic garnished with fruit and ice makes a great accompaniment to any meal or social occasion. And, during the past five years or so, the popularity of gin and the taste for craft gins has created an explosion in demand for stylish gin glasses. It’s our opinion that everyday glassware should be dishwasher safe. Sometimes crystal and hand-painted glasses add some sparkle to a special occasion, but just make sure you factor the cleaning method into your selection. If you'll be pulling your highballs out on special occasions only, hand-washing won't matter as much.
