This Glassware From Dollar Tree Looks Like It Came From A Luxury Brand

Our passion for Dollar Tree's inexpensive finds normally extends to picking up the best groceries on a budget or cheap components for DIY projects like an easy hack for coffee mug storage. While Dollar Tree allows us to ball out on a couple dollars (or even less), we normally don't associate the low-priced retailer with the finer things in life. That's why it's so surprising that our latest Dollar Tree find is glassware that looks like it came straight off the upscale shelving at a high-end kitchen store.

Dollar Tree is offering beautiful Etched Lines highball glasses in both 17-ounce and 14-ounce options, and, as of this writing, they sell for the cool price of just $1.50 apiece. Compare that to Williams Sonoma, which sells a set of four Modern Optic Highball Glasses for $87.80, or a whopping $21.95 per glass! To be honest, we don't need more encouragement. Fancy glassware is an item that can really distinguish your table settings, but splurging on pricey drinking glasses can be hard to fit in a sensible spending limit. With this Dollar Tree dupe, there's no need to sacrifice beauty or budget.

While you can use highball glasses for quaffing water or iced tea and looking fancy while doing it, these glasses are meant for serving mixed drinks over ice. Your next cocktail shindig is going to feel especially elegant with your new glassware, which is a screaming bargain nobody needs to know about. A typical highball cocktail involves ice, a splash of liquor, and a generous pour of nonalcoholic mixer. Since there's a lot of volume to the glass, you are looking for drinks that minimize the booze. Gin and tonic, vodka soda, and a Moscow mule are all examples of beverages that belong in highball glasses. Drinks served in highball glasses are visually appealing due to the long body of the glass and the ability to see carbonation, colors, and layering without any features of the glassware blocking the view.

Keep in mind that many argue the right way to store drink glasses is upside down to prevent dirt or debris from getting into the interior of the glass. A soft shelf liner will help to protect the delicate lip of the glass from scratches or chips. You might not be able to find such a good deal on gorgeous glasses again at Dollar Tree, as its stock rotates frequently, so you'd do well to take good care of your pretty $1.50 glassware in the same way you would their high-dollar counterparts.
