A symbol of the cocktail world and drinking culture, particularly for drinks served “on the rocks,” the Double Old Fashioned glass has deep roots in American culture and mixology. In fact, it takes its name precisely from the Old Fashioned, one of the first recognized and codified cocktails in history, back in 1806. Made with whiskey, sugar, angostura bitters and ice, this was originally served in the (smaller) glass of the same name, but over time the Double version became common: more room for ice and ingredients. Since then the world of cocktails has evolved, but the Double Old Fashioned glass has remained a timeless classic, first a symbol of sophistication and virility, now something central to the pop culture, aperitif ritual. Americano, Negroni, Negroni Sbagliato, Milano Torino, Gin Tonic, Mojito and various Spritzes, but also much more…. Its wide shape is perfect for adding large ice cubes, keeping the ideal temperature and flavor intact without watering down the drink too much!

With its roots in tradition, the Original Double Old Fashioned Memento glass is perfectly suited to the finest settings and cocktails, but with its colors it adds that touch of vibrancy and style to cocktail hour! A perfect pairing with a Double Old Fashioned Memento Original Light Blue glass? A Spritz!

APEROL SPRITZ
– Aperol, Prosecco, soda, ice, orange slice.
– The Aperol Spritz, with its distinctive bright orange color, lends itself perfectly to being served in a colorful glass, especially for a touch of class during an aperitif.

There are numerous ocktails that are best served in a colored glass: Caipirinha, Caipiroska, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, Negroni, Boulevardier, Vieux Carré, Rusty Nail, White Russian, Midori Sour, Purple Rain, Blue Hawaii, Aviation, Rum Punch… but also Rum, Whiskey on the rocks… not to mention Virgin Mojitos and the whole world of fancy non-alcoholic drinks, there is no limit to the imagination. All these cocktails are perfect for serving in a colorful and eye-catching Double Old Fashioned glass, where the reflections and strength of the glass with the capacity of the glass enhance the sensory experience of the drink.

What about the Gin Tonic? For Churchill, “It has saved more lives and minds than all the doctors in the Empire!”… a colorful glass can only add an eye-catching visual element to it and enhance the entire drinking experience! How? Colors can affect flavor perception and mood.
The search for the most aromatic and distinctive Gin, with the perfect blend of botanicals, the right tonic water to enhance the aroma, the perfect garnish… pepper, cucumber, berries, citrus or cardamom… a true amateur cannot afford to make a mistake in the choice of glass.

So space for garnishes that enhance color and colors that enhance Gin! A blue glass, for example, can give a sense of freshness and sophistication. The contrast between the blue of the glass and the transparency of the Gin Tonic, with the bubbles reflecting the light, creates a refreshing visual effect, particularly suitable for a summer evening. Perfect for a classic Gin, with the blue highlighting the bright green of a lime slice. A Green Glass evokes freshness. Cucumber and other garnishes are natural elements that visually harmonize with this glass. Offer a natural and sophisticated contrast: pink grapefruit and a sprig of rosemary. Red fruit or Pomegranate can be used instead for contrast, or garnish a red or orange glass for a vibrant, eye-catching look that is ideal for winter parties.

A colorful Double Old Fashioned glass can enhance the appearance of many cocktails, especially those with bright colors and layers of liquids. By choosing brightly colored cocktails, you can really make the most of the visual effect of the glass.

“We can thus, abandon ourselves, almost a little helplessly, and let ourselves be enveloped by the power of color; to have confirmation that, in our work, doing beautiful things and doing them well, even before it is an entrepreneurial choice or a market strategy, is a personal necessity and a pleasure.” Roberto Zani

A Double Old Fashioned Memento Original glass is a way to enhance the very aesthetics of the drink, even the most iconic and appreciated ones.
