Amuse
An amuse-bouche is not complete in a beautiful amuse glass. A beautiful amuse glass gives the amuse a real experience. Amuse glasses are used for dishes served at the beginning of a meal. They are usually smaller than a full dish and can be eaten in just one bite. The idea behind this is to let guests taste something before they have their main course. Amuse glasses are usually small enough to contain just one or two bites, often with a sauce or condiment alongside.
Amuse-bouche is a French term meaning 'mouth amuser' or 'small dish that serves to amuse the palate'. Sometimes it is just finger food, but usually it is a small, tasty snack. It can be used to bring a fresh taste to the palate or to stream guests ready for the next dish. But the real idea behind it is to stimulate appetite and tease guests with what to expect for dinner.
Amuse is an abbreviation of the word "amuse bouche". This is a delicious little snack. The power of an amuse-bouche is that it is small, beautifully arranged and delicious in flavour.

An appetiser in a glass
What exactly is an appetiser in glass for? The answer is that they are not meant to be the main dish, but rather to whet your appetite, making you want to order the main course. An appetiser in glass is often light and refreshing. You can enjoy them at any time of the day, but they are especially popular in the afternoon.
An appetiser in glass is usually a mixture of vegetables and fruit, with some kind of dip. For example, a popular appetiser in glass is vegetables and fruit, a cheese dip, a yoghurt dip, a hummus dip, a caramelised onion dip, a tapenade dip and so on. Appetisers in glasses give a real experience.
Amuse glass with stem
At APS Glass & Bar Supply, we also have stemmed amuse glasses. An amuse glass with a stem are glasses with a wide bowl at the base and a thin stem. It is the perfect size for serving iced tea, lemonade or iced coffee. It is also a great glass for sorbet and ice cream. A great way to use amuse glasses is with sorbet ice cream. A fun way to serve them is to use a thin slice of lemon or strawberry on top of the ice creams. Drinks in an amuse glass will make your meal extra fun!
