The Luigi Bormioli Speakeasy Swing gin glass is a large-format balloon-style glass designed for contemporary gin and tonic serves. At 750ml capacity, it provides ample room for ice, garnish and a generous measure without appearing overcrowded — which matters when presentation is part of the offer.
In a busy bar environment, glassware takes a sustained amount of punishment — drops, dishwasher cycles, glass-on-glass contact during clearing. These glasses are made from SON.hyx, Luigi Bormioli’s lead-free crystal glass formulation, which offers notably better resistance to mechanical shock than standard soda-lime glass. The titanium-reinforced rim, applied through a patented anti-abrasion process, addresses one of the most common breakage points in service: rim chipping during washing and stacking. Luigi Bormioli’s own testing rates dishwasher durability at over 4,000 cycles whilst retaining clarity, which is a meaningful figure for a high-turnover venue.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Rim reinforcement reduces chip-related glass write-offs over time
- Maintained clarity through extended commercial dishwasher use
- Consistent sizing across the pack supports portion and presentation standards
- Lead-free crystal construction meets current safety requirements
- Faceted design adds visual interest without complicating storage or washing
These glasses are supplied in packs of 24, which suits most bar par-stock requirements for a single-shift gin service. For higher-volume venues running multiple sittings or large outdoor events, it is worth considering whether a larger initial quantity makes sense to reduce reorder frequency.
