RIEDEL Drink Specific Glassware Nick & Nora Cocktail Glass

Perfect glasses - been on the look out for nice Nick & Nora glasses and these are they..

These are such beautiful, delicate Nick & Nora glasses. Perfect size and elegant shape. Superb quality They are my favourite glasses to drink from

Smaller than my usual cocktail glass but perfect when restrained. Some of my guests prefer the smaller cocktail (which I gather is a normal size).

Lovely little Nick and Nora’s Second time bought.

Though I like the glasses I have only given four stars because I can't get used to the size of the base. The shape of the bowl is great, and just the right size for a double martini or any short cocktail. The glasses seem well made, but the base just does no seem right. It is about the same size as the rim of the bowl, but just looks too big to me. This is, of course, just my opinion, and others may think it is fine. They look great in the glasses cabinet, but when I take one out to use, I generally put it back and take out another Nick and Nora glass that I find more aesthetically pleasing. Shame really as the bowl is so lovely, but the glasses probably will not get as much use as I had expected.

Perfect size and great quality.

Fantastic cocktail glasses! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Fabulous!!

Very stylish old school cocktail glass. The perfect size for a classic Martini or Gibson, i.e. 2oz gin, 1oz vermouth + olive or onion. Some negative reviews have said they're too small. They're only too small for a drink that is meant to be drunk from an entirely different kind of glass. Other negative reviews focus on fragility. I can only say that they appear to be no more fragile than other delicate glasses I have. They need to be handled carefully but so does any other decent glass. I like them very much.

Gorgeous, small coupe martini glasses. Perfect size for the perfect martini. I did break my first pair, my fault! So you do have to be careful with them. But they are classic and modern. Loved them enough to but a second set!

Might be slightly smaller than anticipated but adds to the retro feel. Still holds a double martini absolutely fine.

It’s not the most exclusive glass. There is a palpable seam on the stem, and, as this is my first experience with Riedel, I won’t speak to it’s quality or longetivity. That said, this was one of the top choices from editors of several mixology and cocktail-specific websites. We were specifically looking for the Nick and Nora glass (and there is whole world dedicated to this legendary moniker) and this shape was specifically visible in many scenes of the classic films. To start, the glass seems robust. the base is wider than the cup and, though fairly tall, it feels stable. The glass is reasonably thick without feeling clunky and the shape is just quite stunning. Volume-wise, it seems to hold what it should and it is nice to drink from. In short, for the price, it is a great buy, it is nice to use, doesn’t feel to fragile to handle and, most importantly, holds cocktails which one can drink from it.

I've always found the traditional 'martini' glass top-heavy and just too big. When I saw these I thought they'd be perfect. And they are. They hold a double-shot martini or negroni perfectly. The fine rim and shape make them a pleasure to drink from. The base is quite large and weighty (in a good way!). They never feel like they're going to tip. Highly recommended!

Beautiful. Classic. Who wants to drink a 9oz Martini anymore? No, it's the 4oz N&N up drink that's in these days. This glass is exactly the look for the 21st century, even though it screams 1940's. Fun!
