Product Information

We loved the durability of these glasses and the fact that they're dishwasher safe, too. And the glass is small enough that garnishes perch perfectly on the edge.

As you can probably guess, the most common material for a martini glass is, err, glass. There are many different formulations that vary in strength and price, however, so not every type of glass is the same. And then there's crystal, a special form of glass made with added minerals that give it extra strength and sparkle. While crystal is pricier than regular glass, it’s sturdier and will last longer. Other martini "glasses" can be made of more unusual materials like plastic, steel, or ceramic. For many buyers, the look and feel of their stemless martini glasses are just as important as their function. Choose a style and design that will best complement your décor and taste. Consider the color, pattern, texture, embellishments, and engravings of the glass before making a final decision. Versatility

Your martini should be filled to cover 85 to 95% of the glass. This will ensure the glass is full but will also allow room for the inevitable sloshing and occasional spilling. This Schott Zwiesel glass channels the classic design of a V-shaped martini glass with a contemporary approach. The bowl of the glass is suspended on a whisper-thin stem, with an angular lip to prevent sloshing or spilling. While the glass has an elongated, sophisticated silhouette, it’s dishwasher-safe and constructed from chip-resistant glassware that offers gorgeous clarity.

Comparing the Finest Stemless Martini Glasses of 2023

These 8-ounce glasses also come in an embossed box, making them perfect for gifting to the martini lover in your life who appreciates a stemless glass. But for the purist, the design of this is a bit too unorthodox. It’s your choice! Traditionally, a martini is made with gin, and purists would agree. You can, however, opt for vodka or a split-base martini. Most martini glasses are made from glass or crystal. Plastic stemware is not ideal for martinis. Glass martini glasses are more common and usually less expensive. Crystal can be spun very thin, which makes for stemware with an elegant and luxurious look and feel — a thin edge can also make the spirit’s subtle flavors easier to notice. Just keep in mind that the eye-catching design can come at a cost, as the long stem is more prone to breaking.

With a curved silhouette and an elongated lip, these glasses are a top choice for bartenders, as the liquid is less likely to spill in the glass. They're also machine-made, which means they're inexpensive, and you can see a slight seam, but they're still good quality. Capacity. Note that there’s usually a discrepancy between what the manufacturer says it will hold and what customers agree it will comfortably hold. Expect it to hold about 1 ounce less than the manufacturer claims. Built to withstand any accidents, JoyJolt’s stemless martini glasses are crafted from durable, dishwasher-safe, lead-free crystal. The two octagonal glasses have a unique, off-base design with an ergonomically curved edge, so they will nestle comfortably in your hand. Plus, the angular design is a bit of a conversation starter. Our at-home tester noted that while testing this nearly 8-ounce glass with a traditional martini recipe, it looked a little sparse with just 4 ounces in it. (But perhaps you need an excuse to make a double martini!) While testing, the glass felt luxurious in the hand—the extra-long stem felt akin to a Zalto wine glass. Our tester found this coupe, designed by renowned bartender Rémy Savage, to be a showstopper and like something out of a "Mad Men" scene. It's truly an elegant, celebratory glass that feels like it's made for a special occasion.Style. There are too many beautiful glasses for you to have to settle for one you don’t love the look of.
