It has a cone-shaped bowl on top of a glass stem, James Bond prefers it shaken, not stirred. Can you guess what it is? It’s a Martini Glass! Martini Glasses are mostly used to serve martinis (duh!), but also can be used for other cocktails, such as Cosmopolitans or even non-alcoholic fruit beverages.

The stem of the glass allows the drinker to hold the glass without warming up the beverage.  Most people aren’t aware that body temperature affects the taste of alcohol drinks. However, some martini glasses don’t have bases or stems attached at all. These are mostly used for aesthetic reasons based on personal taste or to lessen breakage.

Weddings are the perfect times to use martini glasses. An interesting idea for them is to use them as the centerpieces on the reception tables.   In addition, you can have them personalized with the bride and grooms names to add a special and memorable touch. There are many design ideas you can use to accentuate your guest tables but here is one of our favorite suggestions:

• Select a style that you like.
• Have them personalized with the bride and groom’s name on them including the date of the wedding.
• Arrange them in a triangle on each table.
• Fill them with fresh water or even your favorite candy.
• Place tea light candles inside floating glass holders.
• Place the floating glass holders in the water.
• Using rose petals that match your wedding color, place the petals in the water so that they are surrounding the floating glass holders.
• Add more rose petals at the base of the personalized martini glasses for that extra touch.

This will create an illuminating and a romantic appeal to the ambience of your wedding.

Once the reception is over, people can take them home as a wedding favor. Depending on the size of your wedding, you probably won’t have enough for everyone being that you are only putting three on each table.  With prices at DiscountMugs.com, we are sure that won’t be a problem. Just to be sure, have extra ones made so that you can place them at each person’s seat.

Martinis are the perfect way to start a party and what better way to show that you really planned the party right than with your very own customized martini glasses. Placing the theme of your party, and maybe even the date adds just the right personal touch.  This will show your guest just how much effort you put into making your party a success. Guests will appreciate the time you put into preparing the party and will have something to always remember you even after the party is over.

Restaurants and bars also love to have promotional martini glasses to help advertising their business. Customized with their names printed on the side, showing a touch of class to every customer that uses them. If you are a restaurant or bar owner, having these will only show how much you care about your customers.   At DiscountMugs.com we have over 50 types of promotional products to go with any event. We Make It Your Own.

Using personalized martini glasses as wedding favors or as a promotional product, it is important to get glasses that match the theme of your wedding. You could match in color or style, whichever you prefer. Also, be sure to have them custom printed with your names and date of your wedding on them. You could also put a nice design, something like a bride and groom or a heart on the sides of the martini glasses.

No matter what you choose, the whole idea is to have fun with it. You could set out the personalized martini glasses just as they are or you could decorate them with ribbons and bows with the colors of your wedding party and put candy coated mints or almonds inside them. I’m sure the mints or almonds won’t stay in the martini glasses for too long!

By the end of the wedding reception, make sure all of your guests know that they can take home the personalized martini glasses as keepsakes of your wedding. They will be so happy to be able to keep such a wonderful gift and they will remember your day every time they use their new custom printed martini glasses.

Another important thing to note is that if you’re going to have custom printed martini glasses as wedding favors, you’re going to have to be sure to have enough alcohol to make martinis for everyone at your wedding. And, you are going to have to have enough alcohol for all the different kinds of martinis that people enjoy. Otherwise, the fun of taste testing martinis would be pointless.

Whatever personalized party favors you choose, make sure they are fun and unique for you. You want your bachelor and bachelorette party to be just as special as your wedding. You want your friends to remember all of the good times you shared and have lasting memories for a lifetime. With personalized party favors, you’ll the good times, laughter, and happiness that you are looking for.

Martini Glass

The Martini is a drink made with gin and vermouth.  It is traditionally garnished with an olive. The Martini is one of the most popular mixed alcoholic beverages.

Famous journalist H.L. Menken called the martini “the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet”.   Additionally E.B. White called it “the elixir of quietude”.  Back in the forties and fifties the martini was the drink of choice business executives during lunch meetings.

Western culture has created a virtual mythology around the martini, in part because of the many legendary historical and fictional figures who favored it, among them Winston Churchill, Truman Capote, J. Robert Oppenheimer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Cary Grant, U.S. Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Richard M. Nixon, and the fictional James Bond.

The martini has become a symbol for cocktails and nightlife in general; American bars often have on their signs a picture of a conical martini glass garnished with an olive. In Martini, Straight Up: The Classic American Cocktail, Lowell Edmunds, a classics professor and doyen of martini lore, analyzes the cocktail’s symbolic potency in considerable depth.

The martini appears a lot in books and movies in American culture. The best-known fictional martini drinker is Ian Fleming’s better known as Bond, James Bond, who is famous for his preferred drink, a very dry vodka martini “shaken, not stirred”.   Next best-known fictional martini consumers are Captains Hawkeye Pierce, Trapper John McIntyre, and BJ Hunnicutt (characters from the M*A*S*H TV series and film) who have their own still in their tent, “The Swamp”, to meet their martini needs. The super-sleuth Nick Charles (played by William Powell) in The Thin Man (1934) famously instructed a bartender: “You see, the important thing is the rhythm.  You always have rhythm in your shaking.  Now a Manhattan you shake to a foxtrot. A Bronx to a two-step time. A dry Martini you always shake to waltz time.”

Martini’s have played a great part in American pop culture for years.  Its relevance is undeniable and will leave a mark on our culture for years to come!  Get your personalized Martini Glass at DiscountMugs.com!

Barware

So you always wanted to open up a bar or restaurant but had no idea you would need so much stuff. We at DiscountMugs can’t help you out with your furnishing or interior design but we certainly can help you find the right glassware items. Obviously the type of glassware you choose will depend largely on the establishment you decide to use them in. If you’re opening up a bar, there are standard glassware items you’ll need and more niche types of glassware you’ll want to impress your patrons. If you’re opening up a restaurant the glassware items you’ll use will depend on the type of drinks you’ll be serving. You can also choose to get these items customized with your restaurant or bar logo on them or get the glassware blank for a more subtle approach.

Bar ownership is a colorful and fun endeavor, but getting all the personalized glassware items can be hectic so be sure to get the right type and quantity of glassware items. First of all, you’re going to want get standard drinking glasses to give your patrons the option of drinking non-alcoholic beverages. Drinking glasses range in size but the average glass should be around twelve-to-fifteen-ounces.  Next you’ll want to get the always classic conical pint glasses; the standard pint is sixteen fluid ouches so be sure to get a sixteen ounce glass if you’re going to be serving it as an official “pint glass”. A pint glass can be used to serve many different types of beer but is best served with Ales and darker beers.

The next type of glass you’ll want to get for your bar is the Pilsner Glass; this glass is long and slender and ranges in size. The Pilsner glass is used to serve Pilsner beer which is a pale lager that continues to grow in popularity in the United States. Many avid beer drinkers prefer to drink Pilsner beer in a Pilsner Glass, so having them available is a good way to impress your clientele. In terms of liquor glasses, most bars have cocktail glasses and shot glasses available for customers as well.  While many bars stop at several different types of glasses, other glasses that can be used to further impress your customers like beer steins, wheat beer glasses, yard glasses, beer boot glasses and stemware.

Restaurants are not that different when it comes to glassware items, but depending on the restaurant, you’ll want to focus more on the stemware and cocktail glasses than the beer and shot glasses. Stemware items vary in style but include categories like wine glasses, brandy snifters, champagne flutes and goblets. Make sure you have both white and red wine glasses as wine drinkers are particular about their glassware. Also if you’re serving brandy, be sure to have brandy snifters as they are very distinct glasses that add a high level of formality and class to your establishment.  The cocktail glass also has a very distinct shape and is used to serve popular drinks like martinis, daiquiris and margaritas. Restaurants must also supply standard glassware items like drinking glasses for non-alcoholic beverages like soda, juice and water.
