The Luigi Bormioli Back to the 20’s Nick and Nora glass is a stemmed cocktail glass designed for venues where presentation matters. The Nick and Nora format — narrower than a coupe, with a gently tapered bowl — is well suited to spirit-forward cocktails served straight up, and has become a reliable choice for cocktail bars, hotel bars, and restaurant beverage programmes looking to move away from the standard martini glass.
These glasses are made from Luigi Bormioli’s SON.hyx lead-free crystal, which offers good optical clarity and a clean appearance under bar lighting. The stems are reinforced with a titanium-based anti-abrasion treatment, which improves resistance to the kind of wear that accumulates through repeated dishwasher cycles and general bar handling. The ultra-thin rim is a deliberate design choice that affects how a drink is received on the palate — a detail that cocktail-focused operations tend to notice.
From a practical standpoint, the glasses are rated dishwasher safe and are designed to retain clarity over an extended service life. Key operational considerations:
- Dishwasher safe and tested to retain brilliance beyond 4,000 wash cycles
- Lead-free crystal construction with good transparency and light refraction
- Titanium-reinforced stems to reduce breakage through normal service use
- Thin rim profile suited to spirit-forward, chilled cocktail service
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for standard bar par-stock planning
A pack of 12 is a sensible starting quantity for a small to medium bar operation. Busier venues or those running multiple sittings may want to consider holding additional stock to cover breakage and maintain consistent cover counts throughout service. If you are equipping a larger programme or want guidance on quantities relative to your expected throughput, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.
