Six years ago, we became best friends over a broken auxiliary cord in between teaching our group fitness classes. Now Aaron and I took our passion for news and happy hour to create our podcast,
Sip With Me Sip With Me is a weekly podcast that’s mixed, shaken, and stirred to perfection. We wanted to expand our passion for cocktails into a cocktail book, and this is why we created The Cocktail Bible. The Cocktail Bible is a recipe book that includes ten basic cocktails, cocktail techniques and formulas, and 20 plus custom cocktail ideas centered around our friendship. We’d also like to thank Nathan Villa for assistance in cocktail creations. We hope you enjoy our recipes and create your own unique cocktails!

Highball Glass
The Hightball Glass is tall and narrow and most bartenders actually build some of these drinks directly inside the glass with the ingredients being poured over ice.
Lowball Glass
The Lowball Glass, also known as the old fashioned glass, is a shorter version of the highball glass. It is ideal for muddling things like herbs and often is used to serve spirits like whiskey.
Collins Glass
The Collins Glass is taller and narrower than the highball glass and often serves many mixed drinks. It’s a great alternative to the typical highball glass.
e r a w s s Gla Beyond the aesthetics, specialized glassware is created to complete the drink it is intended to serve and can truly enhance any drinking experience. Every single type of cocktail glass is designed to bring out aromas, colors, and flavors specific to that cocktail.

Martini Glass
The Martini Glass was originally created for champagne and was introduced as an alternative to the coupe glass in 1925. The long stem minimizes heat transfer and the wide brim enhances the flavor and aroma.
Rocks Glass
The Rocks Glass is usually used to serve spirits over ice and the drinks are often built directly inside the glass.
Margarita Glass
The most popular type of Margarita Glass is a welled bowl with many tiers and tends to be narrow near the stem and wider at the rim. The wide rim allows for you to garnish with salt.
Coupe Glass
The Coupe Glass is a great alternative to the Martini Glass. It’s shallow shaped bowl is an excellent spill-proof alternative.
