What is a "margarita glass"?

A margarita glass is a stemmed glassware with a wide, shallow bowl, typically used for serving margaritas and other cocktails. It is characterized by its distinctive shape, resembling an inverted cone with a wide rim. Margarita glasses are often rimmed with salt or sugar, adding flavor and visual appeal to the cocktail.
