Product Description
These hurricane glasses from Chef & Sommelier are made from Krysta, a high-clarity glass material developed for commercial hospitality use. The traditional hurricane shape provides a generous bowl suited to long cocktails, frozen drinks, and layered serves. The fine rim finish is intended to improve the drinking experience — a consideration that matters in venues where presentation is part of the offer.
Krysta is a toughened crystal-alternative material that performs well in busy bar environments. It offers better resistance to the thermal and mechanical stresses of commercial glass handling than standard soda-lime glass, while retaining the clarity associated with lead-free crystal. This makes it a practical choice for venues running high cover volumes where glassware turnover is constant.
Key practical points for operators:
- Krysta material offers improved resistance to clouding and scratching through commercial dishwashing cycles
- Fine rim profile maintained through moulding rather than hand-finishing, giving consistency across the pack
- Pack of 24 suits initial bar stocking or top-up ordering at operational venues
- High-clarity finish supports presentation-focused cocktail menus
- Lead-free material compliant with food-contact requirements
As with all glassware, the right quantity for your operation depends on service volume, wash cycle frequency, and breakage rates. A busy cocktail bar running split shifts will typically require considerably more than a 24-piece pack as a working stock. It is worth thinking through your full glass count before ordering to avoid running short during service.
These glasses are well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, and licensed restaurants with a cocktail or premium soft drinks menu. If your operation requires a significantly higher opening stock or has specific weight or stackability requirements, it is worth discussing your needs before placing a large order.
If you are building out a new bar programme or refreshing your glassware range, our team is happy to talk through quantities and glass specifications to help you get it right first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- This depends on your cover count, wash cycle frequency, and how quickly tables turn. A busy cocktail bar running 80–100 covers per session would typically need several packs as a minimum working stock to account for glassware in use, in the wash, and breakage. It is generally advisable to hold at least two to three times your peak simultaneous glass requirement.
- Krysta is specifically developed for commercial hospitality environments and offers better resistance to the heat and mechanical action of commercial glasswashers than standard glass. Over time, as with all commercial glassware, some clouding and micro-scratching is inevitable with heavy use, but Krysta is notably more durable than budget soda-lime alternatives.
- Yes, the hurricane shape and Krysta material are both well suited to frozen and blended cocktail serves. The wide bowl accommodates garnishes and volume typical of frozen drinks, and Krysta handles the thermal transition from cold service to ambient wash temperatures without the stress fracture risk associated with thinner standard glass.
