A Martini cocktail glass is a narrow drinking glass having a stem and a wide, shallow, inverted cone fixed above it to hold liquid. The base of the stem is wide enough to maintain balance. Generally these glasses are angled or uniquely styled.

A Martini is a cocktail containing unequal portions of gin and dry vermouth served chilled, in a conical stemmed glass, garnished with either a green olive or a lemon twist. There are many variations and garnishings that may be added to customize the Martini to each person’s individual taste.

The martini was an established American cocktail at the beginning of the 20th century, but did not attain its pre-eminent status as the classic cocktail until later in the century. Perhaps paradoxically, Prohibition did a great deal to elevate the martini's stature. Americans' preferred tipple at that time — whiskey — requires skillful blending and long aging, whereas cheap but (marginally) drinkable "bathtub gin" is relatively easy to produce, so martinis were more readily available in the era of the speakeasy.
