Glass pitchers are popular for their classic look and versatility.

• They don't retain odors or flavors, so your drinks taste fresh.
• Glass is easy to clean and often dishwasher-safe.
• Many glass pitchers have removable lids and sturdy bases for convenience.

Just keep in mind that glass can be heavier and more fragile than plastic, so it's best for indoor use or when you want to showcase your beverages.

The number of servings depends on the pitcher size and the drink you’re pouring.

• A 1-gallon pitcher holds about 16 cups (8 oz each), so you can serve up to 16 drinks.
• Smaller pitchers, like 60 oz, provide around 7–8 servings.

For cocktails or punch, serving sizes may be smaller. Always check the pitcher’s capacity and plan for your guest count to make sure everyone gets a glass.

Restaurant pitchers usually hold between 60 and 128 ounces.

• 60 oz pitchers are common for water or soft drinks.

When shopping for a pitcher, look for the ounce or quart measurement in the product description to match what you’re used to seeing in restaurants.

Most pitchers featured here are designed for cold drink preparation, especially those made from plastic or glass.
