hurricane glass

Flame-protecting glass tube

A hurricane glass is a tall, curved drinking glass that bulges in the middle and narrows at the top and bottom, resembling the shape of a hurricane lamp's chimney.

It's the traditional vessel for the Hurricane cocktail and other tropical drinks: The bartender served the rum punch in a hurricane glass garnished with fruit.

The term also refers to the cylindrical glass shade that protects a candle or oil lamp flame from drafts.
