mixing glass

Stirred drink container

A mixing glass is a thick-walled glass vessel used by bartenders for stirring cocktails with ice before straining into a serving glass.

Unlike shaking, stirring in a mixing glass chills and dilutes a drink gently, preserving clarity for spirit-forward cocktails like martinis and Manhattans: She stirred the Negroni in the mixing glass until properly chilled.
