Fancy stemware doesn't tend to last long in my household, especially when we bring it outside.
Stainless steel cups and koozies are everywhere, but Orca's Chasertini martini glass stands apart.
It not only keeps cocktails cold, but it's also shatterproof, spillproof, and decidedly festive.
I've spent the better part of my adult life and (don't tell my parents) a good part of my youth searching for the perfect, most indestructible vessel for my cocktail concoctions. While I found a few that temporarily did the trick, someone has finally come along and perfected the double-walled, vacuum-sealed, stainless-steel martini glass.
How it works
Owen Burke/Insider
Like any other glass, it does its job bearing liquids, but without the threat of being chipped, shattered, or spilled.
It's one thing that a cooler cup has finally been molded into the shape of a martini glass; it's another that there's a lid that actually lets the thing tip over without losing a drop.
No mishaps here
Owen Burke/Insider
It may be a little less elegant than your grandmother's Waterford stemware, but I dare say that it sits more comfortably in the palm. And you can forego the red solo cups out on the patio for something somewhat dignified without having to deal with broken glass when your neighbor, already three cocktails deep, accidentally knocks someone's drink over.
The bottom line
Owen Burke/Insider
There's no denying that these are a little clunkier than your average martini glasses, but there's nothing like the peace of mind that comes with knowing you can nurse your drink for hours on a scorcher of a midsummer's eve and it'll still be cold. More importantly, you can entrust Orca's Chasertinis to your clumsiest houseguests — or yourself at less-than-graceful moments — and know they'll be fully intact at the end of the evening.
Pros:Vacuum-insulated stainless steel keeps drinks cold for hours, shatterproof, virtually spillproof when the lid is on
