Cocktail Glasses

273 lines of wholesale cocktail glasses, trade prices, and free UK delivery on qualifying orders. Whether you’re stocking a new opening or replenishing a busy cocktail bar, everything you need is here – martini, coupe, margarita, hurricane, and more, from the brands UK hospitality actually uses.

Cocktail Glass Styles for Trade & Hospitality

Every serve has its glass. Below is a breakdown of what we stock and what each style is built for.

Martini Glasses

The V-shaped martini glass is still the defining vessel for stirred-down classics – a Dry Martini, an Espresso Martini, a Cosmopolitan. Standard capacity runs from 210 ml to 300 ml (roughly 7–10 oz), which keeps the drink cold from first sip to last.

We stock bulk martini glasses from Arcoroc – including the Broadway and Monti ranges – with case quantities of 12. Toughened options are available for high-turnover venues where breakage is a real cost.

Coupe & Champagne Saucer Glasses

Coupes have largely replaced the martini glass in contemporary cocktail bars. The broad, shallow bowl keeps the drink cold, looks elegant on a tray, and handles everything from a Daiquiri to a French 75. According to Difford’s Guide, a standard coupe runs to 20 cl (7 oz) to brim – enough for a generous shaken serve with room to spare.

Chef & Sommelier’s Symetrie and Cabernet coupe lines are among the most popular with hotel bars and fine-dining restaurants. Cases of 24 make them cost-effective for larger operations.

Margarita Glasses

The classic margarita glass – wide, tiered rim, sombrero-shaped bowl – is still the go-to for Mexican-themed venues and beach bars. Capacity typically sits around 24 cl (8 oz), though larger party-style versions exist. We carry 8 margarita glass lines, including stemmed and more contemporary coupe-style alternatives for venues that want the serve without the novelty silhouette.

Hurricane & Sling Glasses

Hurricane glasses are built for volume. At up to 60 cl, they’re the natural home for frozen cocktails, Tiki serves, and anything that needs crushed ice and a paper straw. Sling glasses – tall, elegant, pilsner-adjacent – work equally well for a Singapore Sling or a long gin serve.

Libbey and Utopia both supply hurricane and sling lines in our range. Sturdy construction, stackable where possible, and suited to the pace of a late-night bar.

Branded Cocktail Glasses

Branded cocktail glasses are one of the most effective ways to reinforce a venue’s identity – your logo on every serve, every table, every Instagram post. We work with trade buyers to supply branded cocktail glassware with custom etching or printing across most styles in our range.

Luigi Bormioli and GenWare lines are popular starting points for branding projects, given their clean profiles and consistent quality. Minimum quantities apply – contact our team for a quote.

FAQ – Wholesale Cocktail Glasses

What types of cocktail glasses do you stock?

We stock martini glasses, coupe and champagne saucer glasses, margarita glasses, hurricane and sling glasses, Nick & Nora glasses, highball glasses, goblets, Tiki mugs, and more – 273 lines in total. Brands include Arcoroc, Artis, Utopia, Libbey, Chef & Sommelier, Luigi Bormioli, GenWare, Spiegelau, and Schott Zwiesel.

What is the difference between a martini glass and a coupe glass?

A martini glass has a V-shaped angular bowl on a long stem. A coupe has a broader, shallower, rounded bowl – also stemmed. Both are used for “up” cocktails (served without ice), but the coupe has become the more versatile modern choice: it’s harder to spill, looks elegant, and suits a wider range of serves. According to Difford’s Guide, both styles run to around 20 cl (7 oz) to brim as a standard.

Are cocktail glasses suitable for commercial glasswashers?

Most of the cocktail glassware we stock is rated dishwasher-safe for commercial use. Toughened and tempered options – such as those from Arcoroc and GenWare – are specifically engineered for the thermal and mechanical stress of high-cycle glasswashers. Always check the individual product specification; delicate crystal lines from Schott Zwiesel or Spiegelau may require a gentler cycle.

Can I buy cocktail glasses in bulk?

Yes. All our cocktail glassware is sold in trade case quantities – typically 6, 12, or 24 per case, depending on the style and brand. Bulk cocktail glasses are priced per case ex VAT, with no minimum order value required. Free delivery applies to qualifying orders.

Do you stock branded cocktail glasses?

Yes. We offer branded cocktail glasses with custom etching or printing across a wide range of styles. This is popular with hotel bars, cocktail bars, and event venues looking to reinforce their brand on every serve. Contact our sales team on 01256 769990 or via the website for a branding quote and details on minimum quantities.

What size are cocktail glasses?

It depends on the style. As a general guide for UK trade:

• Martini glasses – typically 210 ml to 300 ml (7–10 oz)
• Coupe glasses – typically 210 ml to 250 ml (7–8.75 oz)
• Margarita glasses – typically around 240 ml (8 oz) for classic styles
• Hurricane glasses – up to 600 ml (20 oz / 60 cl)
• Nick & Nora glasses – typically 150 ml (5 oz)

Each product listing on our site includes the exact capacity in both ml and oz.

Do you stock Nick & Nora glasses?

Yes. We stock 3 Nick & Nora lines, including the Chef & Sommelier Nick & Nora Stemmed Glass at 150 ml / 5.25 oz – a clean, elegant option that works for any stirred-down serve. Nick & Nora glasses are smaller than coupes and well-suited to spirit-forward cocktails where a smaller pour is appropriate.

What is the minimum order for wholesale cocktail glasses?

There is no minimum order value to place an order with Ascot Wholesale. Cocktail glasses are sold by the case – case quantities vary by product (typically 6, 12, or 24). Free UK mainland delivery applies to qualifying orders.

Can I open a trade account with Ascot Wholesale?

Yes. Trade accounts are available to UK hospitality businesses – bars, restaurants, hotels, event caterers, and similar. A trade account gives you access to trade pricing, account management, and the option to request bespoke quotes for large or branded orders. Contact us on 01256 769990 or register via the website to get started.

How fast is delivery on cocktail glasses?

We aim to despatch in-stock orders on the next working day. Delivery to UK mainland addresses (excluding Northern Scotland and Borders) is typically 1–2 working days from despatch. For large or urgent orders – particularly for new openings or events – call us directly so we can confirm stock availability and lead times before you commit.
