Your Holiday Cocktails Deserve Wacky Glassware
Serve a little harder this year with these six options—plus, the bevvies to go with them.
By Aaron Lefkove and Lila Allen
When it comes to daily hydration or a weeknight tipple, there’s nothing wrong with basic glassware. One only has so many hours in a day to wash dishes by hand, things break, etc. etc. etc. But it’s worthwhile to ratchet up the wow factor during the holidays, bringing as it does a proclivity for the boisterous, the colorful, and the wackadoo. If you have a bone of that in your body, now’s the time to indulge. Here, Wrong House pulls an edit of six personality-forward glasses—and asks Bluebird Wine & Spirits maestro Aaron Lefkove, an expert on unexpected, festive libations—to wax on their ideal pairings.
