How is a Lowball glass suited for serving the Ghost in the Graveyard cocktail?

On the other hand, cocktails like the Martini or Manhattan can range closer to or even exceed 30% alcohol by volume, depending on how they are prepared. This makes Ghost in the Graveyard a stronger drink, suitable for those who enjoy a more potent cocktail experience.
