  • Top-Tier Presentation: Instantly makes any gin and  tonic look more premium and  appealing.
  • Storage Space: The large bowl diameter means they take up more shelf space than standard glasses.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Olive Branch, a bustling Mediterranean restaurant in Chester, wanted to revitalise their drinks offering to match their new summer menu. They switched from standard highball glasses to the Schott Zwiesel balloon glasses to create a more authentic and  photogenic gin service.

"Our customers' eyes light up when we bring these out. The glasses transformed our G&Ts from a simple drink into a real experience. We've seen a noticeable uplift in gin sales, and  the durability of the glasses has been fantastic – they handle our busy service without a problem."

David Chen – General Manager

The move resulted in a 25% increase in sales of premium gins within the first three months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Use & Setup

  • Always wash glasses before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
  • Polish with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to ensure a crystal-clear, smudge-free finish.
  • Check that your glasswasher racks can comfortably fit the 116mm diameter to prevent damage during cycles.
  • Allocate appropriate shelf space; due to their size, these glasses need more room than standard tumblers.

Keeping Them Going

  • Use a low-temperature cycle with a dedicated glass rinse aid to prevent cloudiness and  maintain brilliance.
  • Avoid extreme temperature changes (thermal shock), such as filling a hot glass straight from the washer with ice.
  • Store them upright on shelves, never stacked inside one another, as this can chip or crack the fine rim.
  • Handle by the stem where possible to minimise fingerprints on the bowl.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gin Glass

Need a hand picking the perfect vessel for your gin serves? Here’s a quick guide to what really matters.

Consider Capacity vs. Serve

A large capacity like this balloon cocktail glass 80cl is designed for serves with plenty of ice and  mixer, like a Spanish G&T. For neat gin or martinis, a smaller glass is better.

Shape Enhances Aroma

The wide 'Copa de Balon' or balloon shape is not just for looks. It traps the gin's delicate botanical aromas, enhancing the flavour and  scent for the drinker.

Material Means Longevity

Standard glass is cheap but breaks easily. Patented materials like Tritan® Crystal are a smart investment, offering superior strength that drastically cuts down on replacement costs.

Feel and  Finish

A thin, smooth rim provides a better mouthfeel and  a more elegant drinking experience. It's a small detail that discerning customers notice.

Garnish-Friendly Opening

If you love creative garnishes like large peels, rosemary sprigs, or wheels of fruit, ensure the glass opening is wide enough to accommodate them without a fuss.

What Makes Tritan® Crystal a Cut Above?

Ever wondered what makes one crystal glass shatter at the slightest knock while another survives a busy bar? The secret is in the science. Schott Zwiesel's Tritan® crystal isn't just regular glass; it's a specially formulated material that replaces the lead found in traditional crystal with titanium and  zirconium. Think of it like this: titanium is what they use in aerospace for its strength, and  zirconium adds diamond-like brilliance. This means you get a large gin balloon glass for bar use that not only sparkles under the lights but is also remarkably tough, chip-resistant, and  dishwasher-proof. It’s the best of both worlds: premium aesthetics without the fragility.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cocktail Bars & Speakeasies: Perfect for creating a visually stunning G&T menu that encourages premium spirit sales.
  • Restaurants & Gastropubs: To provide an authentic and  high-quality serve that complements a discerning food menu.
  • Boutique Hotels: Ideal for elevating the lounge, bar, or in-room drinks offering for a touch of luxury.
  • Gin-Centric Pubs: An essential piece of kit for establishments that pride themselves on their extensive gin selection.
