The Nick and Nora glass is a type of stemmed glassware designed for serving cocktails. Named after the characters Nick and Nora Charles from the 1934 film "The Thin Man," these glasses are typically smaller than traditional martini glasses, featuring a rounded bowl and a narrow rim. This design helps to concentrate the aromas of the drink, enhancing the overall tasting experience. Originally popularized in the mid-20th century, the Nick and Nora glass has seen a resurgence in cocktail culture. Bartenders and enthusiasts appreciate its elegant appearance and functionality, making it a stylish choice for serving a variety of mixed drinks, including classic cocktails like the martini and the Manhattan.
