SWANK MARTINI
GLASSES and THE
HOLLYWOOD
SET
By Michael Hepworth
The Martini boom continues unabated, and a collection
of martini glasses from the Swank
Martini Company will surely give your home bar the added touch of
class to go along with the Grey Goose, Ciroc or Herradura in the cabinet.
The sample pack of 12 entirely different glasses has been carefully
selected, after the owners of the company scoured bars around the world to
come up with really unique designs, shapes and sizes. They look at
new designs all the time from people who actually create these mini works
of art. There are other packages available, and the glasses are also for
sale individually. This is actually a good idea for a small party,
because each guest will hopefully know exactly which glass is theirs after
they have consumed half dozen cocktails or more. Some of the
individual names of the glasses include Swinger, Metro, Omega, Satin
Breeze, Swerve, Parisian, Vibe, Chillin, A Twist, The Diva, Cosmo and
Flirtini.
Hardly surprisingly, the
Hollywood
set has caught on to these glasses. The obvious high profile celebrities
or usual suspects are all allegedly owners of these slick looking glasses,
an obvious fit for these modern day icons of the silver screen, in order
for them to stay hip and cool in the eyes of the public. In case you were
wondering, Mel Gibson was not one of the stars listed.
You would think that a company specializing in promoting the good
times that can be had from drinking would be based in
Miami
,
New York
or
Beverly Hills
. Swank are located in
Toledo
of all places, but since they sell exclusively on line, location is
becoming less and less a factor these days. Their web site is pretty
interesting actually, giving you a really good picture of the glasses in
their extensive catalog. They also include a humungous list of martini
recipes, and it will take you a year literally to try every one.
