Besides, we cannot use the same glasses for every drink. We use quirky glasses only for certain themed drinks, such as Boot-e-licous that is served in a boot-shaped glass because it adds an artistic expression and goes well with the theme. At Hitchki, we make sure the customers get a mix of both worlds. She says, “There is an endless debate over the use of quirky v/s utilitarian glasses for cocktails.
Sonali Mullick, regional manager, Hitchki, definitely seems to think so, and makes a pitch for using both quirky and functional glassware. But behind all that white noise, there is another side to the story that can have a happy ending if both sides work together. Preparing for what they see as an onslaught of quirky glassware that’s making regular glasses redundant. Considering that, more and more watering holes are serving drinks in quirky glassware, we decided to quiz them why?Ī section of cocktail and mocktail lovers are putting up a fight to savour their choice of poison. The reasons for the latter vary from struggling to finish an expensive drink from oddly shaped containers to feeling short-changed because of the minuscule amount served thanks to the design of the container, to simply being put off by the idea of getting a drink in what looks like a replica of a human heart. Looking for reasons why? If you go back to social media, it throws up an odd mix - those who welcome the quirky presentation and those who simply can’t stand it. The movement, if you can call it that, has been kicked off on, Twitter by social media users using the #We Want Glasses, sharing images of drinks served in bizarre objects from bath tubs, measuring jars and even a replica of a human heart, etc. This year, it’s the turn of cocktail and mocktail lovers to kick up a storm over the use of anything apart from regular glasses to serve their favourite drinks. Last year, a plateless wasteland led to the creation of Instagram account #We Want Plates, rebelling against food served in quirky objects like slates, shopping carts, etc.
