A symbol of the cocktail world and drinking culture, particularly for drinks served "on the rocks," the Double Old Fashioned glass has deep roots in American culture and mixology. In fact, it takes its name from the Old Fashioned, one of the first recognized and codified cocktails in history, dating back to as early as 1806. Based on whiskey, sugar, angostura bitters, and ice, it was originally served in the tumbler of the same name (which was smaller), but over time, the Double version became common: more space for ice and ingredients. Since then, the cocktail world has evolved, but the Double Old Fashioned glass has remained a timeless classic; once a symbol of refinement and virility, it is now central to pop culture and the ritual of the aperitif. Americano, Negroni, Negroni Sbagliato, Milano Torino, Gin Tonic, Mojito, various Spritzes, and much more... Its wide shape is perfect for adding large ice cubes, maintaining the ideal temperature and flavor profile without diluting the drink too much!

With its roots in tradition, the Memento Originale Double Old Fashioned tumbler adapts perfectly to the most refined settings and cocktails, yet with its colors, it adds that touch of liveliness and style to the cocktail hour! A perfect pairing with a Memento Originale Jade Double Old Fashioned tumbler? An Amaretto Sour!

AMARETTO SOUR / WHISKEY SOUR
• Amaretto/Bourbon, fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup, egg white (optional), ice, maraschino cherry and a slice of lemon for garnish.
• This sweet and sour cocktail has a light amber color, which pairs beautifully with a colored glass. The Amaretto Sour is a drink that combines simplicity and flavor in a pleasant tasting experience.
The Whiskey Sour is equally fresh and tart, with a creamy foam if using egg white, which perfectly balances the robustness of the whiskey.

But this is just one of many cocktails that are best served in a colored glass: Caipirinha, Caipiroska, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, Negroni, Boulevardier, Vieux Carré, Rusty Nail, White Russian, Midori Sour, Purple Rain, Blue Hawaii, Aviation, Rum Punch... but also Rum, Whiskey on the rocks... not to mention Virgin Mojito and the whole world of sophisticated non-alcoholic drinks, there is no limit to the imagination. All these cocktails are perfect for being served in a colorful and eye-catching Double Old Fashioned tumbler, where the reflections and the robustness of the glass combined with its capacity enhance the sensory experience of the drink.

And the Gin Tonic? According to Churchill, "It has saved more lives and minds than all the doctors of the Empire!"... a colored glass can only add an eye-catching visual element and improve the entire tasting experience! How? Colors can influence the perception of flavor and mood.
The search for the most aromatic and unique Gin, with the perfect mix of botanicals, the right tonic water to enhance the aroma, the perfect garnish... pepper, cucumber, berries, citrus, or cardamom... a true aficionado cannot afford to make the wrong choice of glass.

So, make room for garnishes that enhance the color and colors that enhance the Gin! A blue glass, for example, can provide a sense of freshness and refinement. The contrast between the blue of the glass and the transparency of the Gin Tonic, with the bubbles reflecting the light, creates a refreshing visual effect, particularly suitable for a summer evening. Perfect for a classic Gin, with the blue highlighting the bright green of a lime slice. A Green glass evokes freshness. Cucumber and other garnishes are natural elements that harmonize visually with this glass. Offer a natural and sophisticated contrast: pink grapefruit and a sprig of rosemary. Red fruits or pomegranate can be used as a contrast instead, or to garnish a red or orange glass, for a vibrant and eye-catching look, ideal for winter parties.

A colored Double Old Fashioned tumbler can enhance the appearance of many cocktails, especially those with bright colors and layered liquids. By choosing cocktails with brilliant colors, you can really make the most of the glass's visual effect.

"We can thus surrender ourselves, almost a bit defenseless, and let ourselves be enveloped by the power of color; confirming that, in our work, making beautiful things and doing them well, even before being a business choice or a market strategy, is a personal necessity and a pleasure." Roberto Zani

A Memento Originale Double Old Fashioned tumbler is a way to enhance the very aesthetics of the drink, even those that are the most iconic and appreciated.
