NOTES
A "Pousse-Café glass" refers to a specific type of glassware designed for serving Pousse-Café drinks. It is a tall and narrow glass with a relatively small capacity, typically ranging from 1 to 4 ounces (60 to 120 milliliters). The shape of the glass is important for maintaining the distinct layers of the Pousse-Café drink.
The Pousse-Café glass is characterized by its straight sides and often features a slightly flared rim, allowing for easy pouring and layering of the different liqueurs or spirits. The narrow width of the glass helps to create visually appealing and defined layers when the liquids are poured carefully.
The size of the Pousse-Café glass is relatively small to accommodate the layered drink and encourage sipping rather than large gulps. The smaller size also allows for more control when pouring each layer and maintaining the integrity of the presentation.
While Pousse-Café glasses are commonly used for serving layered drinks, it's worth noting that layered drinks can also be served in other glassware, such as shot glasses or even cocktail glasses, depending on personal preference and the desired effect.
