Do you have a preference on stemware? Perhaps you haven\u2019t thought too much about it. Many people\u2019s only desire is a clean stem for their drink. That\u2019s clearly a good start.<\/p>\n
I do have a preference; I want my Martini in a stem with some heft, some weight, and some significant mass to it. No, not because I\u2019m working my biceps and delts. Because of thermal mass.<\/p>\n
You may be asking yourself \u201cWhat is this guy babbling about\u201d. This may take a bit so bear with me. Or skip this and move on if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned before, my Perfect Martin is ice cold. Ideally it stays ice cold for the duration of my enjoyment. But we all know that the drink will warm up over time. I want to maximize the time my drink stays cold. The more thermal mass in the glass, the longer it will take to warm up.<\/p>\n
Sadly most bars use thin, light weight, and cheap stemware. I understand that they\u2019re running a business and stemware is, unfortunately, disposable. It breaks constantly and has to be replaced regularly. But that frilly little bit of glass warms up just too quickly. That\u2019s why I want a stem with some heft. I want a long lasting cold Martini.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
