| Type | Best for | Strength | Downside |
|---|---|---|---|
| Margarita glass (double bowl) | Serving a crowd | Festive look; wide rim shows off the salt | Nearly single-purpose; bulky and easy to tip |
| Coupe | Margaritas and any straight-up cocktail | One elegant glass covers many drinks | Less of a party statement than the real thing |
| Rocks glass | Frozen or on the rocks | You already own it; stable and hard to tip | No stem, so your hand warms the drink |
| Stemless margarita | Casual everyday drinks | Dishwasher-friendly and hard to break | Hand contact warms a chilled cocktail fast |
