MOTHs IN GLASS HOUSES
To shine a light on these handmade and mouth-blown marvels, we’ve matched six top glassware designs with a MOTH or two. Showing the world how our premixed cocktail classics can look the part and channel the epitome of cocktail sophistication. Perfect for a special occasion or posh dinner party. It’s crystal clear these glasses are a class act.
MOTH: ESPRESSO MARTINI x
COUPE
Richard Brendon’s Coupe is designed with the Espresso Martini measure in mind. The chocolatey foamy texture of this cocktail sings like a superstar in this half moon glass. Don’t forget to shake the can properly and squeeze gently for a serious layer of froth fit for this serve.
MOTH: MARGARITA x
MARTINI GLASS
Showcasing the classic martini shape and boasting impeccable proportions, Richard Brendon’s Martini glass is perfect for those who want to party with poise. Imagine our sharp, salty, zesty sparkling Margarita dancing in it. Consider a salted rim and if you’re brave, chilli flakes too.
MOTH: MOJITO x
FLUTED HIGHBALL
Richard Brendon partnered with Gleneagles Hotel to develop the Fluted Collection for their American Bar. But despite its whisky intentions, this is an appropriately fancy highball for the gin based lemony French 75. Or a very fitting highball for a refreshing-rum-loving-minty Mojito.
MOTH: NEGRONI x
FLUTED TUMBLER
Richard Brendon’s Fluted Tumbler is exactly how to serve whisky based Negroni and Old Fashioned cocktails in a classic fashion. Masterly mouth-blown, these tumblers are reassuringly weighty and feel good to hold until way past midnight. In Richard’s signature style, it's a mighty fine example of contemporary meeting timeless.
MOTH: APERITIVO SPRITZ x
WINE GLASS
Designed with the expert help of Jancis Robinson OBE MW, the Richard Brendon Wine Glass has a tulip-shaped bowl, gossamer thin rim and well-proportioned silhouette. So with a sparkling orange Aperitivo Spritz, this shines bright and bold. Especially with a smiley slice of orange in it.
