Acrylic Glasses

Toasting with Acrylic Drinking Glasses

Enjoy your favorite beverages worry-free with acrylic drinking glasses. Made of durable food-safe plastic, acrylic glasses share the appearance and style of glass but can better withstand drops and spills. Not only does this make them ideal as outdoor drinkware for backyard soireés, acrylic tumblers also make smart alternatives for little ones who aren't quite ready to use grown-up tableware. Instead, give them their own place setting featuring an acrylic drinking glass, melamine dinner plate and a small bowl for health side dishes like veggies and fruits. Be sure to keep an eye out for acrylic glassware with a similar silhouette to the rest of your drinkware to maintain a cohesive aesthetic at the dinner table.

Types of Plastic Tumblers

Ideal for parties and entertaining, plastic tumblers are available in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Serving your favorite drinks on the patio? Make sure you've got the right acrylic drinking glasses for each libation—think tall thin acrylic glasses for champagne, plastic margarita glasses for tropical cocktails and acrylic wine glasses for chilled whites. Double old-fashioned glasses, meanwhile, serve as both cocktail glasses and regular drinking glasses for ice water. Once you've selected a shape (or two) for your acrylic drinkware, consider different styles. Nothing says summer like the bright hues of colorful drinkware, while clear acrylic tumblers let the color of the drink inside shine through. When it comes to the details, tapered options have classic appeal while plastic tumblers with raised texture add visual interest to your tablescape. Pair your selection with an acrylic drink dispenser so guests can refill their glasses whenever they want. To ensure that you have enough drinkware to go around, consider buying acrylic glassware in sets. Once you're done enjoying your beverages, just pop your acrylic cups in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
