With Krosno Hi-Ball Tumblers, however, no need to stress out as these are able to contain nearly any cocktail you need to quaff. Highball tumblers can be found easily even in a local store. You only need to get something sizeable and easy to hold in your hands.

The Highball

In the 19th century, trains looked for a colored ball known as a highball, which was an indication to the engineers, that all was clear ahead. It was during this time that bartenders serving railroad employees named their drink after the signal — highball. Later, the tall, smooth tumbler used to serve the drink also acquired the name highball. Today, the tumblers hold about 8 to 16 oz. of fluid. Highball glasses are tumblers used to serve tall cocktails as well as mixed drinks containing large proportions of non-alcoholic mixer normally poured over ice. They are easily confused with the Collins glass, but it is important to remember that highball is stouter while the other is taller and narrower. Some bartenders insist on serving a gin fizz in a highball glass, while others will serve a Tom Collins in the other, but for home use the distinctions are unnecessary. Quite often, drinks are built directly into the highball glasses by pouring ingredients over the ice and stirring. Most drinks made in this form include a shot of liquor topped with sodas or fruit juice.

TOverview

The highball tumbler falls under the chimney-style glasses and is one of the most popular barware collection, with a cylindrical shape and an open bubble in the sham base. It is exceptionally clear, handmade, has a cut and polished rim, and can be hand washed. With low amounts of cocktail, always choose a smaller size of the highball glass, as getting a large one gets your drink warm long before you finish it. Ideally, the highball glass tumblers are designed for the mixology world, long and soft drinks, from cocktails, martinis and whiskeys. They are the perfect range for restaurants and bars, especially due to their softness, high-transparency, and beauty.

Today, differences barware have evolved to make each drinking experience better. For instance, you may have a perfectly measured cocktail, but the size of the tumbler seem too overwhelming. Other vessels can either warm or cool the drink, depending on the design. For cold and refreshing drinks over plenty of ice, a highball glass is always the best choice.
