Personality for Martinis

Martinis are just plain essential to a life worth living. Sometimes, however, that classic clear cocktail glass just seems, well, boring.

There is a whole market out there serving the decorated martini glass lover demographic.
I discovered Lolita a couple of years ago and probably have almost 2 dozen of her designs. Not only does she make themed martini glasses but she puts a recipe on the bottom of each glass, too, like this one.

These make great additions to your martini glass collection and also make perfect gifts for almost all occasions.

I like this one...it is the namesake of my other blog...The Dirty Martini.

Dirty Martini
Here are a few other cool designs:
Wedding Martini
Almost Famous Martini (for Austin Girl?)

Chocolate Martini
Flip Flops (Meg)
And many, many more.
In her little book that comes with the glasses Lolita (Tracy Lolita Yancey) states that she comes from a lineage of inventors. She started her career in the fashion industry working for the likes of Christian Dior and Donna Karan. In 2000, however, she returned to her first love: art and design. I’m glad she did.

Not only are the glasses fun to drink from, they also make great collectibles. And, she also does margarita glasses, shot glasses, pilsner glasses and produces other cool products.

You can find her on the web by just doing a search on any part of her name. You won’t be disappointed. They will be great for just adding personality to your martini or as a gift for that discerning martini lover.

Aren’t we all?

Love your blog. Cool glasses. Too bad can't handle much more than beer. Can I drink beer from those?

What a blast! Besides having a great grasp of perspective, what a great…grasp of perspective…such artists have to pour so much heart into something so ephemeral.

Cheers!
