History of Nick & nora cocktail glasses

The history of the Nick & Nora glass is rooted in classic cocktail culture from the 1930s. The name comes from the fictional characters Nick and Nora Charles, featured in Dashiell Hammett’s 1934 novel The Thin Man, which later became a popular film series. Nick and Nora Charles were known for their elegant lifestyle and love for cocktails.

The glass was designed and named after them because of its refined and sophisticated appearance, which perfectly matched the classy atmosphere of cocktail culture at the time. The Nick & Nora glass is typically between 12-18 cl in size and features a long, slender stem with a small, rounded, and slightly curved bowl. It is ideal for serving cocktails without ice, such as martinis, Manhattans, and, of course, the classic Nick and Nora cocktails.

Today, the Nick & Nora glass has been rediscovered and appreciated by modern bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts, who value its stylish design and its ability to enhance the aromas and flavors of cocktails. It has become an iconic element in contemporary cocktail culture, reminding us of the elegance and sophistication of the past.
