what are coupe glasses used for

Coupe glasses are stemmed glasses with a broad, shallow saucer shape. They are used exclusively for serving "up" drinks, meaning cocktails that are shaken or stirred until chilled and served without ice. The stem of the glass prevents the drink from warming up too quickly. Although coupe glasses were originally designed to serve champagne, they have been adopted by bartenders as an alternative to the spill-prone Martini glass. The coupe glass is the epitome of style and class and makes a fantastic presentation for any liquor or wine, which is why they are popular for wedding receptions and vintage-themed events. While coupe glasses are commonly used for champagnes and sparkling wines, they are not recommended for carbonated drinks unless you plan on toasting or just using a small, tasting amount. The wide mouth of the bowl allows you to take in the scents and flavors of the drink, making it ideal for champagne and cocktails. Here are some examples of cocktails that can be served in coupe glasses: gin sour, French 75, sidecar, daiquiri, and champagne cocktail.
