What is a Shot Glass?

Boston Shot Glass

Shot glasses are small glasses that are designed to hold liquids in measurements of 25ml to 50ml. Shot glasses are most widely known as a drinking glass, though they can also be used as a jigger measure when making co*cktails.
A shot glass is usually used to serve strong spirits and liqueurs in appropriate amounts, and even to serve small co*cktails. Shots are traditionally drunk in a quick-fire manner, hence the name 'shot'.

The UK Weights and Measurements Act defines that a premises may sell a single shot measured at 25ml or 35ml, and a double measured at 50ml. The USA defines shots in US fl oz with a small shot measuring 1floz (30ml), a single 1.5floz (44ml), and a double 2.5floz (74ml).

See the table below for more details on shot measurement classification.

Rather than simply pouring a spirit or liqueur straight from the bottle, a pourer is commonly used.This is ideal for the small size of a shot glass asa pourergivesgreater control over the flow of the liquid. A pourer is particularly useful when creating a layered shot such as a B-52because the liquid can be poured slowly so the contents do not mix.

Despite their small size, shot glasses will often have a thick base, which is ideal for slammers, whichrequire the drinker to 'slam' the glass on the bar top.
