Pint Glass

A sturdy, tapered glass holding 16 oz (US) or 20 oz (UK), primarily used for beer but also for some mixed drinks and as a shaker tin component.

The American pint glass (also called a shaker pint) has slightly tapered sides, while the British tulip pint has a bulge near the top. In cocktail bars, pint glasses often serve as one half of a Boston shaker. They're practical for beer cocktails, large highballs, and drinks like the Bloody Mary that benefit from extra volume. The thick glass is durable and stackable for commercial use.

• Works as a Boston shaker component
