Libbey Hobstar Double Old Fashioned Glasses Smoke Cut Glass, Set of 4, 12oz
Libbey's Hobstar double old fashioned glasses in smoke cut glass, a set of 4 at 12oz with vintage styling.
The double old fashioned is a larger cousin of the standard rocks glass, and it has become a home bar favorite for a simple reason. Its wider bowl easily fits a big square cube with room to spare, so your old fashioned or negroni dilutes slowly and stays cold without crowding the pour. Capacity usually runs twelve to fourteen ounces, giving you space for spirit, ice, and a proper stir. A weighty base adds stability and a premium feel. Below we compare double old fashioned glasses that hold a large cube, feel solid in hand, and suit both sipping neat and building cocktails.
