Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- They are well suited to cocktail bar use, and the dishwasher-safe rating and reinforced stems make them practical for regular service. That said, high-volume operations with heavy glass turnover should plan for a larger par stock than a single pack of 12 to cover breakage and ensure consistent cover counts throughout the day.
- The Nick and Nora format works best with spirit-forward cocktails served chilled and straight up — think martinis, manhattans, and similar stirred or shaken drinks served without ice in the glass. The narrower bowl compared to a coupe helps retain temperature and keeps the drink's aroma more concentrated, which suits that style of service well.
- Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx crystal is designed to withstand commercial dishwasher conditions, and the titanium stem treatment helps resist the abrasion that builds up over repeated cycles. Using a glasswasher-compatible detergent at the correct dosage and ensuring glasses are racked correctly — stems supported rather than unsupported — will help extend their working life in a busy operation.
