A proper gin and tonic needs room, room for ice, a generous pour of tonic, and garnish, without the drink warming up before you're even halfway through it. Riedel Gin & Tonic Tumbler is drawn in a large format for exactly that purpose.
The Expert’s Description
Riedel Gin & Tonic Tumbler is a large-format tumbler glass from the Austrian glassmaker Riedel, made from machine-blown crystal glass and designed specifically for the modern, generously sized gin and tonic serve.
With a capacity of 76.2 cl it's one of the roomiest glasses in the whole Riedel range, built to hold plenty of ice, garnish, and a long pour of tonic. If you need the gin to go with it, take a look at our range of Gin.
Design & Material
The wide, balloon-shaped body leaves room for large ice cubes and garnish such as citrus or juniper, while the wide rim releases the gin's aromatic notes as you bring the glass to your nose. The crystal glass is machine-blown, which keeps the glass relatively light to handle despite its considerable size.
Use & Recommendation
The glass is designed for a large-format gin and tonic, with plenty of ice first, then the gin, and finally a long pour of tonic water so the bubbles don't fade too quickly. It's dishwasher safe, which makes it practical for both everyday use and entertaining.
