A highball glass is a glass cup that can hold between 240 ml and 350 ml (8 to 12 US fl oz) used to serve highball cocktails and other mixed drinks. A highball glass is larger than an old-fashioned glass (lowball) and wider and shorter than a Collins glass.The name highball comes from the class of cocktail it serves, a cocktail with a basic spirit (usually two to three ounces and a greater amount of non-alcoholic blender). For a good explanation of which glass to use for which drink. Read this article from Bottleneck Management. Cocktail lovers in London and around the world are now more than familiar with Coupette. Unpretentious, with a devotion to deliciously complex drinks that focus on flavors via flash, this is the kind of bar you have to go back to be able to drink throughout the menu. With an eye for exploration and discovery, they are constantly reinventing their drinks with new menus, so you`ll never go out. And they are dropping their latest selection of drinks: the “Barely Legal” cocktail menu. The menu is named after the first exhibition of works by the street artist Banksy. Each cocktail is inspired by the walls of East London and paired with a unique artwork by one of six local wall painters. Grenadine is an ordinary non-alcoholic pomegranate syrup with a characteristic dark red color.

It is a very popular cocktail ingredient that is used for its pomegranate flavor and even more so for its ability to add a reddish to pink hue to a cocktail. The name Grenadine comes from the French for the pomegranate, which is garnet. Grenadine is not regulated like alcoholic beverages, and there are no longer any region-specific formulas, and so manufacturers often replace pomegranate with blackcurrant juice and other fruit juices while maintaining the same flavor profile. Many producers today use artificial ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup, water, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate and red color in food quality, as well as natural and artificial flavors. There are no fakes in the bar, so the staff were more than happy to explain the cocktails in detail and give recommendations. The new menu features six works of art commissioned from local muralists and explores the “barely legal” quality of street art. The menu was created by Coupette`s team of bartenders and inspired six unique missions. It consists of twelve new cocktails that explore the creative connection between graffiti and the prohibition era, highlighting the relationship between legitimacy and artistic freedom. Every virtual graffiti created for the menu was inspired in a very clumsy way directly from the cocktails themselves. The drinks were inspired by art and in turn inspired more art. Holly Hawkins` work, for example, combines her bold and colorful shapes with the rich, velvety Nuts for Nuts cocktail, which contains six different nut-related ingredients (including Peanut Butter Gin Beefeater).

Meanwhile, Sophie Mess relied on bright colors, inspired by the intensely flavored combination of the Red Line cocktail of cognac, spices in two ways and mango, lime and nectarine. And if these drinks seem inventive, we have hardly touched the surface of the offerings. Which, in my opinion, makes it one of the best bars, although I`m clearly not the only one receiving their awards, but the bar and prices are rather relaxed and modest. Cocktail prices range from nine to twelve pounds with wines of four fifty per glass. Inspired by the first exhibition of the same name by world-renowned street artist Banksy, the menu is also inspired by the street art found on the walls of East London around Coupette. In addition to the 12 new drinks, there are six new artwork commissioned exclusively for the menu by local wall painters. The nickname “Barely Legal” refers to the sometimes questionable or downright illegal legality in the history of bartender and graffiti. Barely legal is a popular rum cocktail that contains a combination of Captain Morgan`s Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Coca Cola, Grenadine, Sprite. Served with any drink of your choice My guest and I also tried Champange Pina Colada, which is now under coupette`s House cocktails.

The excessive use of cream in pina coladas often makes it a bit sickly for me.
