this is what you win when you do well in curling. the one of the right is from winning the ‘08-‘09 open tournament and the one of the left is from coming in second on our evening for the ‘08-‘09 season. i don’t drink alcohol so i’m not an expert here but i’m pretty sure the short glass is meant for whiskey sour old-fashioneds which are a big deal around here. of course, i could be completely off base in my guess. could my drinking blog readers help me out here?
I would be glad to. The one on the left is for the lovers of orange juice and the one on the right is for vitamin fortified Silk brand soy milk.
The short glass appears to be a standard tumbler for whiskey sours, scotch/burbon, most mixed drinks (rum and coke, jack and coke, ect)….the taller one appears to be a highball tumbler which is just a taller version. Just my 2 cents….
in Indiana, we would just drink out of anything!!!
In texas we call them both shot glasses 🙂
I think you are correct in your guess for normal folk.
if the tall one is a shot glass in texas then i now have an explanation for a lot of the activity i saw in texas for the three years pam and i lived there.
I think the small one’s for beer. And I think the big one’s for beer.
Cheers,
