snifter

n.

1. A pear-shaped goblet with a narrow top, used especially in serving brandy.
2. Slang. A small portion of liquor.

[From Middle English snifteren, to sniff, perhaps of Scandinavian origin.]

A short-stemmed, pear-shape glass that's larger at the bottom than it is at the top. Snifters are recommended for drinking fine brandy. When the brandy-filled snifter is cradled in the hands, the liquid-warmed by body heat-releases its delightful aroma.
