Seven different uses for your whisky tumblers to elevate any occasion.

Cocktail glasses come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A whisky tumbler's (often referred to as a lowball, old fashioned, or rocks glass in cocktail contexts) short stature and shape make it perfectly sized for spirit-forward cocktails that use little to no mixer and are served over ice; so they have an important place at the table on cocktail night. A few examples of lowball cocktails that you might wish to enjoy from your Nachtmann whisky tumbler include the negroni, boulevardier, white Russian, and numerous old fashioned varieties.

Technically, you can use any glass for soft drinks, but you might draw a few funny looks if you start sipping cola out of a champagne flute. Whisky tumblers' straightforward design makes them perfect for sipping your day-to-day soft drinks, allowing you to elevate your beverages without making them look too over the top. Whisky tumblers' capacity to accommodate ice and garnishes is another big plus in this regard, allowing you to thoroughly chill your water, juice, sodas, or mocktails and make them look a little more stylish.

The transparency and accessibility of Nachtmann whisky tumblers make them well-suited for presenting layered desserts like tiramisu, parfaits, or mousse. Their crystal clear glass perfectly showcases the intricate layers of the dessert, adding an extra visual element to your experience, while the glass's size and shape make it easy to spoon these soft desserts out for your post-main course indulgence.

If that dessert style isn't to your liking, whisky tumblers are also ideal for serving ice cream or sorbet. Serving these frozen treats in a tumbler adds a touch of elegance, especially when topped with fruit, nuts, or a sprig of mint.

Perhaps you're not a dessert person. In that case, whisky tumblers are great for serving other small portions, such as snacks or appetizers. If you're using your glasses for your starter, consider options such as prawn cocktails, mini salads, or layered dips to dip things like flatbreads into. You can also use whisky tumblers for finger foods like olives, nuts, or popcorn that you can enjoy anytime; a simple way to turn those cozy movie nights on the sofa into more of an occasion.

Even if you're not using them for food and drink, crystal whisky tumblers can still dazzle wih their eye-catching sparkle, making them excellent ornamental pieces to place around your home. You can adorn your shelves by lining empty glasses up as statement pieces, fill your tumblers with bar-related items such as cocktail stirrers, turn them into makeshift vases for small flowers, or fill them with small, fanciful items such as fairy lights or shells. Note that some items may risk scratching your glass, so be particularly careful when filling your whisky tumbler with certain materials.

If you're more of a practical person and enjoy good storage practice, whisky tumblers can fit the bill here too! You can use your whisky tumblers to turn the mundane into something a little nicer. They are ideal for holding pens, pencils, or small office supplies, helping to keep the workspace tidy, organized, and eye-catching. They also can be a convenient place to carefully place keys, coins, or jewellery at the end of the day, keeping these essential items in one easy-to-find spot.

We couldn't finish this blog without referencing a whisky tumbler's primary function. These glasses offer a versatile way to enjoy your favorite spirits. Their compact build allows you to enjoy a small amount of neat spirit from the glass, while its wide opening makes it easy to enjoy spirits served over ice if that's what you prefer. Whichever way you enjoy your whisky, rum, or any other spirit, you can do it with a quality whisky tumbler.
