Coupe glasses were originally designed back in the 17th century to serve champagne, even though their large surface area allows for the bubbles to escape the liquid! They have become increasingly popular for holding cocktails as they heighten sweetness and reduce burn. They're a great choice for cocktails that are shaken or stirred up (without ice) and strained into a glass. The wide rim is also handy for cocktails featuring garnishes.
