Shape and purpose

A double rocks glass has the same short, wide shape and heavy base as a standard rocks glass but holds more, usually around 300 to 400 ml. The extra space makes it easier to muddle, to add crushed ice or a large block, and to serve shaken drinks over fresh ice without them looking lost.

Which drinks belong here

Shaken sours on the rocks, muddled drinks such as the Caipirinha or the Smash, the Mai Tai and other tiki drinks over crushed ice, and generous spirit and mixer serves.
