What is a Shot Glass?
A Shot Glass, celebrated for its small stature and concise form, is a true powerhouse in the realm of mixology. Its purpose extends beyond size, playing a vital role in measuring, presenting, and savoring potent concoctions and spirits. With its diminutive capacity of around 30 to 60 ml (1 to 2 ounces), the Shot Glass is an emblem of precision and efficiency.
Why it is Called a Shot Glass?
The term "shot glass" originates from the idea of taking a "shot" of alcohol, which refers to quickly consuming a small amount of a distilled spirit in one gulp. The name is directly tied to the purpose of the glass: to hold a single serving of alcohol that can be easily consumed in one swift motion.
