A martini glass is a type of stemmed drinking glass that is commonly used to serve cocktails, particularly the classic Martini. The shape of this glass is designed specifically for holding and serving certain types of mixed drinks with an emphasis on strong alcohol flavors. It typically features a conical bowl that tapers towards the top, with a stemmed base that allows for easy handling without affecting the temperature or taste of the beverage inside. The shape of this glass helps to maintain the integrity and clarity of the drink's color while also allowing it to breathe and develop its aroma.
