What type of glass is suggested for serving a God Mother cocktail?

The God Mother cocktail is typically served in a small rocks glass, which is well-suited for cocktails that are served over ice. This type of glass provides a solid base and a wide mouth, allowing for a good balance of ice, which helps to chill the drink without overly diluting it. The small rocks glass also enhances the presentation by allowing the drink's color and any garnishes to be visually appealing.

Using a small rocks glass complements the God Mother's mix of vodka and amaretto, presenting it in a way that emphasizes both the flavors and the experience of sipping the drink.

Other glass types, such as a martini glass or cocktail glass, are generally designed for drinks that are served straight up, without ice, and do not rely on a chilling effect for an enhanced drinking experience. A highball glass is usually used for taller drinks mixed with a larger volume of mixer, which doesn’t correspond to the nature of the God Mother cocktail. Therefore, the small rocks glass is the appropriate choice for serving this drink.
