Crystal Fortress – 700ml Cocktail Mixing Glass

Crystal Fortress is a 700 ml / 23.7 oz cocktail mixing glass built for stirred classics such as the Negroni, Manhattan, Martini and Old Fashioned. Thick crystal-style glass and a broad 8.6 cm base give it a stable platform while you stir, rather than skating across the bar like a shopping trolley with one bad wheel.

The generous 700 ml capacity gives you room for ice and ingredients without crowding the glass, making it useful for mixing one large drink or multiple smaller serves. Its cut-glass pattern adds grip as well as the sort of old-school bar presence that makes stirring look far more complicated than it actually is.

• Crystal-style construction: substantial feel with a classic cut-glass appearance.
• Wide 9.4 cm mouth: comfortable access for ice and a bar spoon.
