How To Prepare A Cocktail Glass

There are two types of “frosted” glasses. For “frosted” drinks, glasses should be stored in a freezer or buried in shaved ice long enough to give each glass a white, frosted, ice cold look and feel. For “sugar-frosted” glass, moisten the rim of a pre chilled glass with a slice of lime or lemon and then dip the rim into powdered or granular sugar. Cocktail glasses should be well chilled to keep the drinks refreshingly cold. If freezer space is not available for pre chilling, fill each glass with cracked, shaved or crushed ice before mixing. When the drink is ready, empty the glass, shake out the melted ice, and then pour the drink into the glass.
