	; '''Cocktail''' : (4 to 8 ounces) This is sort of a catch-all term for any glass being used to serve a cocktail in. Originally, there weren't any glasses to specifically be used just for cocktails, and instead bartenders would simply utilize whatever appropriate glassware they had, often a tumbler or small wine glass.		; '''Cocktail''' : (4 to 8 ounces) This is sort of a catch-all term for any glass being used to serve a cocktail in. Originally, there weren't any glasses to specifically be used just for cocktails, and instead bartenders would simply utilize whatever appropriate glassware they had, often a tumbler or small wine glass.
	: An extremely important concept for this glass, is to get the size correct. If you consider a Martini as being just gin, vermouth, and the water from the melting of the ice, then a proper volume for a drinking vessel would be ~~about~~ 4 ounces (2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of vermouth, 1/2 ounce of water from the ice.		: An extremely important concept for this glass, is to get the size correct. If you consider a Martini as being just gin, vermouth, and the water from the melting of the ice, then a proper volume for a drinking vessel would be 4 ounces or slightly larger (2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of vermouth, 1/2 ounce of water from the ice). The volume of the glass should also include room for an appropriate "collar", or space between the top of the liquid in the glass, and the top of the glass itself, about 1/2 inch. Some drinks served in a cocktail glass will have a higher volume than others, often from non-alcoholic ingredients, and so a larger size should be used. Rarely does a drink served in a cocktail glass include ice, so there isn't any need to account for the room the ice will take.

	; '''Collins''' : (10 to 12 ounces) This is a tall and slender tumbler, most notably used to serve a "Tom Collins" in. The recipe for a typical Tom Collins is 2 ounces gin, 3/4 ounce lemon juice, 3/4 ounce simple syrup, in an ice filled glass, "topped with soda" (~2 ounces). This means that the liquid portion of the drink will be about 5 1/2 ounces. When filled with cubed ice, the volume will be about doubled, so a 12 ounce glass works well. A Collins glass is usually larger/taller than a Highball, and smaller/shorter than a Zombie.		; '''Collins''' : (10 to 12 ounces) This is a tall and slender tumbler, most notably used to serve a "Tom Collins" in.

	; '''Fizz'''
			; '''Fizz''' : (6 to 8 ounces) A smallish tall and slender tumbler. Might sometimes also be referred to as an "orange juice glass", since it is size appropriate for serving a small glass of orange juice in. Since a Fizz typically does not include any ice, this glass just has to have enough room to account for the drink being served. Since the key feature of a properly made Fizz is the addition of carbonated water (originally from a well-charged soda siphon), the headspace should include enough room for a bit of energetic bubbling.

	; '''Flute'''		; '''Flute'''

	; '''Fountain'''		; '''Fountain'''
	; '''Highball''' : (8 to 12 ounces) This is a tall and slightly slender tumbler. A Highball is typically just a combination of a spirit, and a mixer, served over ice. A Highball glass is usually taller but perhaps narrower than a Rocks/Old Fashioned, and smaller/shorter than a Collins.

			;'''Jigger''' : (about 1 1/2 ounce) This is no longer a glass used to served beverages, but at one time it was a small vessel used to serve someone a straight spirit in. Since it was a somewhat standardized size vessel that all bartenders had access to, it became a measuring device for mixing drinks. This would be equivalent to todays "shot glass".

Since it too was commonly found behind the bar, it became a measuring device to be used along with a jigger. Eventually, the two got combined into the hourglass shaped "jigger" which measured 1 1/2 ounce on one side and 1 ounce on the other.
