Cocktail Coupes – Stylish Cocktail Glass Design
The cocktail coupe is an icon of bar culture. It's the perfect cocktail glass for many cocktails and essential for elegant presentation and other drinks. The classic design of the cocktail coupe has a long tradition and is making a huge comeback as the stylish coupette. The capacity of a typical cocktail coupe ranges between 100 and 200 ml. Filled right to the rim, the maximum volume of this stylish coupe is around 200 ml.
Design Advantages – The Stem and Rim
The long stem of the cocktail coupe stops you from warming your cocktail with your hands – an essential feature of this glass. The gently curved rim of this stylish cocktail coupe ensures a smooth transition of the drink to your mouth. Riedel offers a wide selection here.

The Coupette – The Cocktail Glass for Short Drinks
The coupette is the original form of the cocktail coupe and one of the most beautiful glasses around. With its wide shape and elegant stem, it's perfect for serving short drinks without ice cubes, such as the Aviation or Manhattan. The wide opening allows the aromas of these short drinks to unfold optimally.
The most popular drinks served in cocktail coupes
While there are many glasses for cocktails, the cocktail coupe is essential for certain creations:
- Margarita: Considered the "queen" of cocktails. The special margarita glass is ideal for this drink. The wide rim of this glass is perfectly suited to the iconic salt crust.
- Dry Martini / Classic Short Drinks: A classic Dry Martini, a blend of gin and dry vermouth, is best enjoyed from an elegant coupe or another stemmed cocktail glass. Vermouth-based cocktails like the Manhattan are also shown off perfectly in these glasses.
- Champagne: The coupette was originally a champagne coupe and is therefore excellently suited to champagne-based cocktails. This classic design makes every coupette a stylish and timeless cocktail coupe. The rim of the coupette is ideal for decorating the glass with a garnish to elevate the cocktail.
Cocktail Coupes Made of Crystal Glass
A high-quality cocktail glass made of fine crystal glass beautifully showcases the intense colour of its contents. The wide opening of the glass allows the aromas to rise optimally to the nose. The simple yet elegant design makes every cocktail coupe an eye-catcher. The elegantly shaped rim ensures pure enjoyment of your cocktails.
