You can cut out holes at the base for bottles, or you can use that space for names or a snowfill engraved message, like in the photo above.

**also see the martini glass luge design, which is very similar to this design**

This single block design was published in a newsletter along with the champagne glass design in 1998.



Obviously, with this sculpture, you have to be sure not to cut the stem of the glass down too much, or after a while, it won’t look like a martini glass. The dotted lines in the sculpture (not the template grid) indicate cuts down into the ice. The sculpture should be cut so that the base of the sculpture (just below the glass) extends out toward the front. Then two holes can be cut into the base to hold bottles of vodka, gin, or whatever. You can use a special bit that attaches to a drill to cut these holes. The dotted lines in the glass itself indicates how the top can be hollowed out if necessary.


Make cutting out the holes for bottles easier by using a specialty 3.5" hole-cutting drill bit which will fit many vodka bottles. (There's a lot of variation in the bottle diameters, however.)
