Why this hi ball earns its place
There's a reason the Shetland has become a favourite in cocktail venues: the flared rim gives the drink visual presence and the weighted base makes it genuinely comfortable to hold. At 89mm diameter, it's generous in the hand without being unwieldy. The 420ml capacity is measured—enough for spirit, mixer and ice without compromising the balance of the drink, yet substantial enough to feel generous.
The glass is thick and robust, made to withstand the day-to-day reality of busy service. Arcoroc has built durability into the material itself rather than relying on tempering, so this is straightforward high-quality glass that you can count on. The flared shape isn't just decoration; it changes how the drink reads—makes it look premium, catches light differently, and subtly improves the drinking experience. Bartenders notice this immediately.
At 146mm height and 89mm diameter, the Shetland sits comfortably on a bar or in a customer's hand. The heavyweight base prevents tipping—essential in a busy venue where drinks are set down frequently. Dishwasher safe and supplied in packs of 24, the Shetland works beautifully for cocktail bars, gastropubs and venues that want their glassware to do some of the selling.
