Named for the popular drink by the same name, the old fashioned glass (also known as a lowball, rocks or bucket) is a short glass perfect for serving alcohol neat or on the rocks. Nowadays the old fashioned has become anything but old fashioned, transforming traditional cocktails (like margaritas) into new and modern (and classy) beverages. Try picking up an old fashioned glass with a wide brim and straight sides to serve cocktails with a large, trendy ice cube—sometimes presentation makes all the difference between charging $8 and $12 for that cocktail.
