Glass Purse Cocktails Are the It-Girl Drink of Summer

July 9, 2025

So cocktails are basically the drink of the summer, right? Now imagine sipping yours… straight from your purse. No, seriously.

Glass purse cocktails are everywhere right now — and if you haven’t seen one on your timeline yet, you’re officially late to the party. Restaurants and lounges from Miami to LA are serving up these novelty cocktails in purse-shaped glasses, and they’re not just for the ‘gram — they’re a whole main character moment. Whether you’re out with your besties or on a date that deserves a little ✨extra✨, these drinks deliver drama, aesthetic, and just the right amount of flex.

But things took a seriously bougie turn in Miami Beach, where Papi Steak is going viral for serving up a cocktail insidean Hermès Birkin bag (yes, you read that right) — and it comes with a side of caviar. We’re talking luxury on luxury. TikToker Mister Lewis pulled up to the restaurant on May 19 and asked for the most expensive cocktail they had. The result? A stunt-worthy drink that’s less “casual happy hour” and more “I’m not like other girls — I’m a Birkin beverage.”

Obviously, TikTok is eating it up. The video racked up views fast, with people equally shook and obsessed. Is it extra? 100%. Is it iconic? Also yes.

While most of us aren’t out here casually sipping out of a five-figure designer bag, the glass purse trend still lets you live your best luxe life — without the Hermès price tag. These oversized cocktails are meant to be shared (or not, no judgment), and they’re all about turning your night out into a full-blown photo opp.

So whether you’re channeling your inner city girl, celebrating something big, or just wanna drink pretty — purse cocktails are officially the drink of the moment.

TL;DR: This summer, you’re not holding your drink. Your drink is your purse. 💅
