Riedel Veritas Martini 6449/09 - 2 pcs.

The classic Martini cocktail belongs in a glass with a thin, rising bowl - big enough to keep the drink cold, streamlined enough to underline its clean, pared-back style. Riedel has drawn the shape sharply in the Veritas range.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Veritas Martini is a set of two machine-blown cocktail glasses from the Austrian glassmaking house Riedel, made from thin crystal glass and shaped specifically for a classic Martini cocktail. The glass belongs to Veritas, Riedel's newest and thinnest machine-blown collection.

Design & Material

The wide, conical bowl retains the chill long enough for a dry Martini to stay ice-cold from first sip to last, while the long stem keeps your hand away from the bowl so body heat doesn't warm the drink. The rim is finished extremely thin, just like the rest of the Veritas range.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is built for a classic Martini cocktail, whether stirred or shaken, bone-dry or with a touch of vermouth. Many Martini drinkers build their cocktail on gin, so if you need inspiration for the bottle, take a look at our range of Gin. It's dishwasher safe, though a gentle wash keeps the shine best.

Did You Know?

Veritas is the youngest of Riedel's machine-blown collections, and its glasses are drawn noticeably thinner than most machine-made glass can normally manage. The goal has been to get as close to hand-blown quality as a machine is capable of.
