Everyday Drinkware: Tom Collins Glasses

Tall and narrow, Collins glasses are a versatile addition to the home bar. Are you often the host of happy hour? Fill the shelves behind the counter with this everyday drinkware. Then, when guests are ready for the first pour, pull out two or three and fill them with popular libations—Long Island iced teas, gin and tonics, and of course, Tom Collins included. For others who just want something refreshing, fill their glass with ice water, lemonade or another non-alcoholic concoction instead. If you’re more the type to have everyone over for a barbecue, place a couple pitchers on the nearby table—filling each with a fruity punch or infused water. A set of Collins glasses nearby makes self-dispensing easy. Stick with ones that are clear, or add a little something extra with a subtle burst of color and design.
