For those in the know, a flute glass may be my usual companion, but when it comes to champagne, the coupe reigns supreme. These elegant vessels, with their shallow bowls and delicate stems, are the epitome of chic. They effortlessly evoke the glamour of café society, bridging the gap between vintage allure and modern sophistication.

Step into any restaurant in a cosmopolitan city, and you’ll notice a pattern. Establishments with that certain je ne sais quoi serve their meticulously crafted cocktails in coupe glasses. This choice speaks volumes about their commitment to style and substance. For the experienced drinker who appreciates their libations shaken or stirred to perfection, the coupe is the only acceptable vessel. Just remember, darling – ice in a coupe is an absolute faux pas. Keep it neat; keep it chic.

Fancy a cocktail at home? We’re rounding up our top recipes that are best served in a coupe glass.
