Assuming you already have more than a few favorite cocktails you already prepare at home, it's about time to invest in some proper glassware.

Different drinks usually have a designated glass to be served in, and yes, it tastes better that way, and yes, martini glasses are actually a reasonable thing to own. Except for the obvious champagne, wine or beer glass, this list is our recommendations for the must have glasses for your home bar:

Cocktail/Martini Glass

Mainly used to serve straight-up cocktails, the long stem of the glass prevents the drink from being warmed when holding it. Although a proper cocktail glass is slightly smaller and more rounded than a martini glass, they are often used interchangeably, and one type is totally sufficient for your home bar.
