That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Just because I'm in a niggling frame of mind tonight, I feel compelled to point out that irrespective of the volume contained, that is actually a 'lowball' glass.
Seriously.

You may review the differences at your leisure while I go and niggle elsewhere.
(I'm not really like this, normally. It's been a bad week.)
Anyone with information on how to "wheedle" please post. I'm tired of niggling. You have to explain too much to people who don't understand that this and words like 'niggardly' have nothing to do with ethnicity.
Thank you for your support.

I don't drink so I can't comment on the pleasures of highballs, but I CAN comment on how the physical phenomenon of 'surface tension' at the lip of the glass sure makes for a nice (and admittedly more enticing) photo.
When 'surface tension' starts looking sexy, you got deeper issues then just having had a 'bad week', but hey, I gotta be me...

Yep.
This is indeed one of the finer examples of a 'convex meniscus in a lowball glass' I've ever seen.
It reminds me of a painting by the legendary Rembrandt van Rijn "Meniscus on My Cock-Ale", that is quite extraordinary, but his is a concave meniscus and not really the same.
You can't find it here: http://www.rembrandtpainting.net/complete_catalogue/complete_catalogue.htm
You can, however find the recipe for Cock-Ale here:
