A closed metal tin gives you no information at all until the drink is poured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Vessels in One Purchase\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStirred drinks and shaken drinks want different treatment, and the usual answer is two objects: a mixing glass for the first, a shaker for the second. A glass half covers both. Pour, stir and strain directly from the cup for anything spirit-forward, or seat it into the tin and shake for anything with juice, dairy or egg in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eColor That Cannot Rub Off\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColored coatings on metal barware wear at the points where hands and ice contact them most, which is exactly where you look. Color carried in glass has nothing on the surface to abrade, so the green stays the same shade after a thousand washes as it was on the first. The cost of that choice is the obvious one: glass breaks and steel dents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStirring, Chilling and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the glass half go in a dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e It survives one, but a bar glass lives longer washed by hand. Machine racks let glass knock against metal, and the rim is the part that suffers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a glass cup chill as fast as metal?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, and that is worth knowing before the first drink. Steel takes the cold from ice almost instantly while glass lags behind, which is one reason stirred drinks get stirred longer than shaken ones get shaken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should not go in the glass half?\u003c\/strong\u003e Anything you would not put in a drinking glass, hot liquid especially.
