It's rumored that the first Manhattan Cocktail was shaken in 1846, by a Maryland bartender trying to revive an injured duelist. He mixed rye whiskey, sugar syrup and bitters. No word on the duelist, but one can assume he had a fighting chance. From there, the drink traveled to Manhattan, where the cocktail inspired its own glassware, capturing the play between amber jewel-quality of whiskey and rosy hue of vermouth. This Art Deco Manhattan glassware was first produced by the Anchor Hocking Company in 1938.

The Manhattan pattern is made up of concentric ribs, influenced by the signature skyscrapers of New York. These ribs are pointed so that if you rub your fingernail across them, it will catch on each one and you can hear a little "ting." The 9-ounce Manhattan pieces are heavier than most cocktail glasses because of all the glass that goes into making the ribs, and we are less nervous about using them around clumsy friends.
