Uses For A Martini Glass

Martinis are a versatile and fun drink. I know when I run out of beer but still want a drink I can always fall back on a martini. My favorite Martini drink is the Lemon drop, but  if I am out of lemons I will usually opt for a dirty martini. If I am out of olive juice then I usually have a vodka martini straight up. If I am out of Vodka, then it is time for bed.

In spite of martinis being a great fall back drink. The glasses are just as useful. They can be used for decorating and table center pieces. They even look cool just sitting on the counter or in that glass doored cupboard.

If you are having an adult Birthday party and you want to create a festive center piece for your table, you can use the martini glass. It doesn’t matter whether you are actually serving alcohol or not you just want to create a festive look.

Take 3 martini glasses and fill them with colored birthday confetti. Then sprinkle additional confetti on the table. You can also place tiny wrapped packages near the stems of the glasses on the confetti. Then take some very small wrapped square packages and stick them on a toothpick and place into the confetti filled martini glass as a garnish.

This makes a very festive birthday table center piece. You can also create similar variations for Christmas parties, and Halloween parties or whatever event you are having.

Another great use of the martini glass is for serving desserts. A martini glass filled with cool lime jello and garnished with a maraschino cherry looks like an appletini, but is actually a cool low call desert. Chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles topped garnished with a piece of Dove chocolate also makes a great dessert display. And it is oh so delicious.

Fruit cocktail or melon balls also look great in a large clear martini glass. Just remember to have a suitable garnish on a toothpick or cocktail sword such as a strawberry, cherry, or piece of chocolate. You can use your imagination and let your creative juices go wild.
