In recent years, the resurgence of classic cocktails has taken the mixology scene by storm, with cocktail bars across the globe embracing timeless concoctions like the Hemingway Daiquiri and the Sazerac. This revival isn't just about nostalgia, though. It also reflects consumers' growing appreciation for craftsmanship and authenticity in their drinks, as well as fresh interpretations of what the classics can ultimately be.
While different ingredients and proportions can play a role in revitalizing a classic cocktail, so too can the glassware in which it's served. How a drink is served can dramatically influence its consumption experience, and the new Backdoor '20s collection from Luigi Bormioli exemplifies this concept perfectly. Take, for instance, the gin and tonic. Traditionally served in a highball glass, this iconic cocktail underwent a makeover and a renaissance on the Iberian Peninsula, where it's now common to find it served in a specialized goblet—a glassware style incorporated in the Backdoor '20s collection.
But what sets the Backdoor '20s collection apart? Inspired by the clandestine spirit of the 1920s prohibition era, these glasses offer more than just a vessel for libations. They're designed to enhance the gustatory impact and uniqueness of cocktails. Crafted with precision and artistry, the glasses are super light and balanced, ensuring a comfortable drinking experience with every sip. Their robust yet flexible construction exudes durability, while the clarity of the glass showcases the true color and aesthetic allure of each cocktail.
