Nick & Nora glass

A small stemmed glass with a gently tapered bowl, holding around 15 cl. Next to a coupe it is taller, narrower and a good deal smaller.

That shape is the whole point. The narrow mouth spills far less when you carry a full glass across a room, and it keeps the aromatics gathered over the surface instead of letting them off across a wide open bowl. Reach for it for stirred, spirit-forward drinks served up - Martinis, Manhattans, anything that has to stay cold to the last sip.

It takes its name from Nick and Nora Charles, the endlessly drinking couple in The Thin Man↗, and came back into production in the 2000s after decades out of use.
