A highball glass is a type of glass tumbler used for serving drinks. It's a tall, straight-sided glass that can usually hold about 8 to 12 ounces (around 240 to 350 milliliters) of liquid. These glasses are perfect for serving highball cocktails and other mixed drinks, which are often made with a spirit and a larger amount of a non-alcoholic mixer like soda or juice.
Imagine a glass that's about 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) wide and 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) tall – that's a typical size for a highball glass. It's taller than an Old Fashioned glass, which is shorter and wider. It's also a bit shorter and wider than a Collins glass, which is even taller and narrower. This makes the highball glass a versatile choice for many popular drinks.
