In this article, discover winter cocktail ideas that are as traditional as they are bold, and be inspired by the perfect combination of flavors and crystalline sparkle.
Winter evenings don't necessarily need to stay cold. Get ready to infuse them with exceptional warmth and dazzle your guests.
Espresso Martini
Combining the intensity of coffee with the velvety sweetness of vodka, the Espresso Martini is an essential cocktail for winter evenings. Its rich and comforting taste makes it an ideal drink to end a dinner or accompany a lively conversation by the fire.
But to truly enhance this experience, the choice of glass is essential. Served in our Viktoria Martini glass, the Espresso Martini becomes much more than just a cocktail: it becomes a work of art. The play of light on the crystal highlights the silky texture and golden foam of the cocktail, itself matched to the hand-painted gold threads; while each sip takes on a luxurious dimension.
Apple Pie
Inspired by the flavors of a freshly baked apple pie, Apple Pie is a true homage to winter. With its notes of apple and cinnamon, it instantly evokes the warmth of seasonal gourmet traditions. Served in the luxurious glass from the Apolo set, this cocktail reveals all its aromatic richness and visual elegance. The reflections of light on the crystal highlight the golden hue of the drink, while the decoration – a little cinnamon or a thin slice of apple – adds an artisanal and festive touch. Perfect to accompany a cozy evening or to impress during a dinner with friends !
Grog
Nothing like a grog to face the cold winter evenings. This traditional cocktail, made with rum, hot water, honey and lemon, is a truly comforting potion that warms the body and mind. But who said that simplicity couldn't rhyme with refinement? Served in an elegant crystal mug, your grog takes on a new dimension. The crystal enhances the transparency of the drink and magnifies the volutes of steam escaping from it, inviting a multisensory experience.
Winter is a season that invites sharing, warmth and conviviality. By enhancing your cocktails with crystal glasses, you add a touch of refinement and elegance to every moment spent with friends or family. Whether it's a sophisticated Espresso Martini, a comforting Apple Pie or a traditional hot toddy, crystal transforms every drink into a luxurious and unforgettable experience. We remind you, crystal is above all a bearer of memory and memories!
