Know before you buy
The wide, rounded bowl of a balloon glass allows the botanicals in your gin to breathe, significantly enhancing the aroma. It also provides more room for large ice cubes and garnishes, which keeps the drink colder for longer and allows flavors to integrate more effectively.
While the lead-free crystal is durable, we recommend hand-washing these glasses to maintain their clarity and prevent potential clouding or breakage in the dishwasher.
Each set includes two balloon-style gin glasses.
Lead-free crystal is engineered to be just as clear and brilliant as traditional leaded crystal, but with added strength and resistance to scratching. It provides a high-end look while being a more modern, practical choice for everyday use.
Yes, the generous capacity and wide mouth make these glasses excellent for any cocktail that requires plenty of ice or elaborate garnishes, such as a spritz or a sangria.
