Riedel Highball Glass Drink Specific 10.94 oz — Machine-Made, Dishwasher-Safe, Large-Ice Friendly

The Riedel Drink Specific Highball Glass is a machine-made cocktail glass engineered to fit both standard and oversized ice while preserving drink volume and presentation.

Designed as part of Riedel’s Drink Specific collection developed with spirits expert Zane Harris, this highball glass addresses the real-world needs of bartenders and home mixologists. It balances capacity, shape and ice accommodation so classic tall cocktails pour, chill and look right without excessive liquid displacement. Made in Riedel’s family-owned factories and dishwasher safe, the glass blends practical function with refined barware aesthetics.

How does this glass handle different ice sizes?

The highball is dimensioned to accept regular cubes and the larger, slow-melting blocks that have grown popular in bars and restaurants. Its internal volume and straight walls reduce liquid overflow when ice is added, keeping pours accurate and presentation neat.

• Capacity tailored for tall cocktails and standard pours (10.94 oz).
• Interior profile allows large cubes to sit without displacing excessive liquid.
• Designed to minimize splashing and maintain intended dilution rates.

Why was this glass developed differently from typical highballs?

Riedel and Zane Harris examined how ice influences every tall serve and redesigned proportions accordingly. Instead of simply resizing a classic tumbler, they optimized height, diameter and volume so common cocktails perform as intended across professional and home settings.

• Shape calibrated for consistent aroma release and comfortable handling.
• Volume set to accommodate standard spirit-plus-mixer recipes.
• Machine-made precision for repeatable, uniform results.

Will this glass suit both bars and home use?

Yes — the highball combines hospitality-grade thinking with dishwasher-safe convenience for domestic kitchens. Its durable, machine-made construction stands up to frequent service while keeping the refined silhouette expected from Riedel.

• Durable glassmaking method for regular commercial use.
• Dishwasher-safe finish for easy cleaning in busy environments.
• Elegant look suitable for menus, cocktail nights, and everyday entertaining.

What cocktails work best in this glass?

This glass is ideal for tall-format classics and modern mixed drinks that rely on ice and measured mixers. Think highballs, Collins-style recipes, long drinks and any serve where controlled dilution and clean presentation matter.

• Long drinks, gin & tonic variations, rum and cola, and Collins cocktails.
• Any recipe calling for large ice to slow dilution while keeping flavour balance.
• Restaurant and bar menus needing consistent portion perception and minimal spillover.

Who is this for: Bartenders, beverage directors and cocktail enthusiasts who want a purpose-built highball that accounts for modern ice trends and hospitality realities. If you value precise pours, reliable presentation and the convenience of dishwasher-safe glassware without sacrificing a refined look, this Riedel highball is engineered to perform on service lines and at home.
