The BACKDOOR'20s (Crystal) Nick & Nora Cocktail Glass [BORMIOLI] 170ml is part of the acclaimed BACKDOOR'20s collection by Luigi Bormioli, a series inspired by the exclusive atmosphere of American speakeasy bars during the Prohibition era.
Its elegant design combines Art Deco influences, balanced proportions and advanced crystal technology, resulting in a glass appreciated by bartenders, mixologists and premium hospitality venues around the world.
What is a Nick & Nora glass?
The Nick & Nora glass is one of the most respected choices for cocktails served without ice.
Compared with a traditional coupe glass, the Nick & Nora shape offers a more stable centre of gravity, reduces the risk of spilling and concentrates aromas more effectively thanks to its narrower opening.
For this reason, many modern cocktail bars prefer Nick & Nora glasses for premium cocktail service.
Ideal for classic and contemporary cocktails
The 170ml capacity and elegant profile make this glass perfect for:
- Martini
- Manhattan
- Daiquiri
- Last Word
- Martinez
- Clover Club
- Signature Cocktails
- Spirit-forward cocktails served without ice
BACKDOOR'20s – inspired by the Speakeasy era
The BACKDOOR'20s collection draws inspiration from the hidden bars of the Prohibition period, where elegance, sophistication and attention to detail defined the drinking experience.
The refined lines and Art Deco influences transform each glass into an object of character, perfectly suited to modern cocktail bars, luxury hotels and restaurants that value presentation.
The collection has received international recognition for its distinctive design and contemporary interpretation of cocktail service.
SON.hyx crystal – premium clarity and durability
Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx crystal is renowned for exceptional transparency, long-lasting brilliance and outstanding durability for professional use.
The ultra-fine rim enhances the tasting experience, while the crystal clarity highlights the colour and texture of every cocktail.
Titanium Reinforced Stem technology
The Titanium Reinforced Stem treatment increases the strength of the most vulnerable part of the glass – the stem.
This technology is especially appreciated in professional hospitality environments where glassware must withstand intensive daily use while maintaining its elegance.
Why do bartenders choose Nick & Nora glasses?
Modern mixology is not only about recipes but also about presentation and drinking experience.
Compared with wider coupe glasses, Nick & Nora glasses provide better aroma concentration, improved balance in hand and a lower risk of spills when serving guests.
This combination of elegance and practicality explains why Nick & Nora has become one of the favourite glass styles among professional bartenders worldwide.
