Amazon.com Review
The six glasses in this set have outrageously wide brims (4-1/2 inches in diameter!), which make them the perfect recipients of salt just before they receive a margarita blend from the voluptuous pitcher that completes this tequila-centric set. Such wide brims also mean you can secure lime slices to the glasses while leaving plenty of sipping room to prevent nose and lime collisions. The pitcher holds 96 liquid ounces--ample for enough ice cubes to keep the second round chilled--and its spout is protected by a guard to keep cubes in the pitcher. The stemmed glasses stand 6 inches high. Pitcher and glasses are made of medium-thick glass so wrists are spared an undue burden in Margaritaville, and the glass is clear so the margaritas' brilliant, pale color can shine without distraction. Pitcher and glasses are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

Looking for my lost shaker of salt
Margaritas are my favorite mixed drink. They are wonderful to serve for summer parties and there are plenty of interesting recipes for them. This pitcher set is perfect for serving margaritas at home when entertaining. The lip of the pitcher has an ice guard. The glasses are generous and well-shaped. The price is fantastic.

My favorite margarita is a "Ninfarita" from Ninfa's in Dallas and Houston. I think I've got a version of it here, not as good as Ninfa's but close, perhaps.

2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
3 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
9 ounces gold tequila
2 ounces Triple Sec liquor
1 ounce lemon simple syrup*

*Syrup --1 cup sugar in 3/4 cup water with lemon zest or natural lemon oil flavoring. Heat til sugar dissolves. Strain out zest. Cool.

kosher salt
lime wedges or lemon wedges for the glass rim.

1 serving is 3 oz of the above, shaken with ice.

You can even make them "virgin" if you don't drink alcohol. Leave out the Triple Sec and Tequila, add water--yes, it is lemonade, really, but if you have guests that don't drink, they will be pleased.

Fun & Affordable
This set is both fun and affordable. The 6 glasses are well made and easy to clean. I haven't had any problems with them.

If you buy some matching stemware or glasses, you can use the pitcher for iced tea or lemonade. You'd have a cute serving set, and save some money.

The glasses are great for sherbet punch or ice cream sundaes. I put a scoop of rainbow sherbet in the glass, pour some sparkling white grape juice over it, and there is a tasty drink/dessert in an attractive glass.

A little trick I learned, if you drip the edge of the glass in sugar, you can use colorful sugar (usually available next to the sprinkles at the grocery store) for a more festive look.

Fantastic bargain for a really cool set!
I bought this glasses/pitcher set after reading the reviews. The bulk of the negative ones mentioned the packaging wasn't great, and as a result, they often arrived damaged. Well, I can see why they'd say the packaging is bad--the lack of padding was alarming. I guess I lucked out with mine. But the good part: Amazon will take back damaged products. You don't have to pay for the return shipping, and the whole process takes under a week. Yay, customer service!
If you're looking for a last minute gift, don't get it because it might get damaged. But if you're looking for a present for yourself, or a present for a couple months in the future, you absolutely cannot do any better than this little Margarita pitcher/glasses set. It looks a *lot* more expensive than $10 and is sure to impress anyone who enjoys pretty drinks. I'm probably going to buy like 10 of them and distribute them to everyone at Christmas, their birthdays, etc. Enjoy!
