What Restaurant Professionals Ask About This Product
What is the correct serve in a highball glass?
A standard highball is a single or double spirit measure (25ml or 50ml) with 150-250ml of mixer, served over ice, filling the glass to approximately two-thirds of capacity. Fill with ice first, add the spirit, then top with cold mixer poured slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation.
What drinks work in the Manhattan Highball vs the Drink Specific Highball?
The Manhattan Highball (0419/04) is designed for high-volume general bar use where a dependable practical format is the requirement. The Drink Specific Highball (0417/04) is engineered for Highball cocktails where the glass shape is part of the drink's presentation. The Manhattan is the workhorse; the Drink Specific is for bars where the highball is a signature serve.
Is the Manhattan Highball stackable?
The classic straight-sided profile allows careful stacking in compatible storage systems, making storage efficient in high-volume operations. Check that the stack does not create pressure points on the rim before adopting this storage approach.
How many dishwasher cycles will this glass survive?
EN 12875-1/2 certified for 1,500 commercial dishwasher cycles, corresponding to 10+ years of normal restaurant service life.
The Highball: The Hardest-Working Glass in the Bar
The highball is the drink that most consistently drives bar revenue across the widest range of service contexts. Gin and tonic, vodka and soda, whisky and ginger ale, rum and Coke: the highball format covers the most commonly ordered drinks in most bars, and the glass it is served in is the most frequently used piece of glassware in the operation.
For a glass that earns that level of use, the requirements are clear: practical, durable, easy to handle, easy to rack, and looking right without requiring special attention. The Manhattan Highball delivers all of these in a format specifically designed for the conditions of professional on-premise service.
For hotel minibars, breakfast bars, and any bar operation where the highball is a primary serve, the Manhattan range provides the dependable professional foundation.
