The Libbey Esquire 12 oz Collins is the tall, narrow tumbler you'll see behind most Canadian bar programs. It ships 36 to a case, which is enough to outfit a full service well or replace what gets broken during a Stampede patio rush. When your barback is pulling glasses faster than the glasswasher can return them, having a case in the dry store is the difference between serving mojitos and 86-ing them mid-service.
Libbey Esquire 12 oz Collins/Mojito Glass, 36/Case
Libbey has been pressing commercial glassware in the US for over 200 years, and the Esquire is the workhorse shape behind most North American bars. The 12 oz Collins is drawn from soda-lime glass with a fire-polished rim that's built to slow chipping through repeated wash cycles. It's the right glass for anything tall over ice: mojitos, Tom Collins, gin and tonic, Cuba Libre, Paloma, and iced tea service.

"We moved 180 cases of these Esquire Collins glasses to a Banff hotel last summer. They ran them through 14-hour banquet shifts and the rims held up, no replacements needed. The narrow shape stacks tight and saves shelf space. Order at least 2 cases for a busy bar."
Collins glassware is one of those line items operators don't think about until they're replacing cloudy, lip-chipped glasses mid-season. The Esquire shape does two things well. First, the tall column keeps soda and tonic carbonation alive longer because there's more surface for bubbles to climb, so your mojito still has fizz when it hits the table. Second, the straight sides accept a standard 10-inch straw and a muddler without the bartender fighting the glass. If you're building a bar program around tall drinks, browse our non-food range for shakers, jiggers, and bar mats to pair them with. Canadian operators buy glassware in case multiples for one reason: breakage is a fact of service, and spares on the shelf keep the menu consistent whether it's a Tuesday lunch or a sold-out Saturday.
Quality & Specifications
Non-tempered soda-lime glass, 12 fl oz (about 355 ml), standing 5 1/2" tall with a 2 5/8" top and bottom diameter. Maximum diameter is 2 7/8". Case of 36. The fire-polished rim is the detail that matters: it's the chips first on cheaper glassware, and Libbey finishes it to slow that wear. Clear, colourless glass so the drink does the selling.
Professional Applications
Mojitos, Tom Collins, gin and tonic, Cuba Libre, Paloma, and shaken iced tea are the obvious fits. It also works for a tall Bloody Caesar build, bar-spec iced coffee, and cold brew on a brunch menu. Hotels use it for welcome drinks and pool bar service where a heavier pint glass feels wrong.
Storage & Handling
Store dry and secure. Use a lined shelf or a glass rack, not loose in a bin, because glass-on-glass contact at the rim causes most chips. Don't stack more than two high for long-term storage. Never pour hot liquid into a chilled glass; thermal shock will crack the base.
Canadian Sourcing
Made in the USA, so lead times and quality are predictable compared to offshore glass. Every case ships from our Calgary warehouse to operators across all 10 provinces and 3 territories. Same SKU, same spec, case after case, and your replacement glass matches what's already on the shelf.
