Which cocktail is traditionally served in a coupe glass?

The Daiquiri is traditionally served in a coupe glass primarily due to its elegant presentation and the type of drink it is. Originally, a Daiquiri is a simple and classic cocktail made with rum, lime juice, and sugar. The coupe glass, with its wide bowl and long stem, not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the drink but also allows for easy sipping. This style of glass has a historical connection to cocktails served "up" (shaken or stirred and served without ice) and is well-suited for drinks that are meant to showcase balance and refinement, characteristics that are essential to a well-made Daiquiri.

The other options, such as the Old Fashioned which is typically served on the rocks in an old-fashioned glass, the Mai Tai that is commonly served in a tiki or highball glass, and the Long Island Iced Tea which is generally served in a tall glass, align more with their respective presentations and styles, making them less suitable for the coupe glass specifically associated with the Daiquiri.
