Cocktail Glasses

If you’re holding a cocktail party you’re going to need a range of cocktail glasses suitable for the drinks you serve. We have a range of hurricane glasses, martini glasses and margarita glasses available to ensure you have everything you can think of.

What kind of cocktail glass hire do I need?

Are you serving specific drinks at your occasion? If you know what you’re serving at your cocktail party then picking the specific cocktail glass hire you need for the occasion is easy. The classic martini glasses are perfect not only for Martinis, but also cocktails such as Gimlets, Cosmopolitans and Negronis. They have a delicate conical shape which is perfect for these drinks. Margarita glasses are slightly more rounded than a martini glass and are great for the classic margarita or a dacquiri. The hurricane glass is taller, and reminiscent in shape of a hurricane lamp (hence the name). These are more suited for taller drinks like a Singapore Sling or Pina Colada.

Do I need to clean my cocktail glass hire before it is collected?

One thing we've learned from our experience of glassware hire is that most glass breakages occur not while people are using them, but when they are cleaning them.

It's because of this we have made it compulsory for all glassware items to have the send it back dirty option added at checkout. All a customer needs to do when they repack glassware ready for collection is make sure it's free of food debris and liquid.

What do I need to know about delivery of cocktail glasses for hire

Like all of our glassware, we clean and check all of our cocktail glass hire before it’s sent out for delivery. We use specialised crates to minimise breakages in transit but they can occur; for this reason we always recommend ordering a few glasses extra just in case. We wouldn’t want an unexpected hiccup to ruin your party after all.

Finding out how much your delivery of event hire cost is easy. Simply tap the Expo Hire Solent logo anywhere on the website to be taken to the homepage where you will find the carriage calculator button. This clever widget will not only give you the exact costs to your venue postcode, it will also confirm which website is closest so you don’t have to worry about overpaying.

We also list all possible surcharges on that page. If any of these are applicable, they are confirmed in the checkout once you have reconfirmed your delivery address and dates, and are itemised in full so there are no nasty surprises before you pay.
