How to Shop for Shot Glasses
It's amazing how popular such a small glass can be. The ubiquitous shot glass typically holds between 1 and 3 ounces of liquor. Designed to hold a single swallow of alcohol (such as whiskey or vodka) or a mixed shooter, shot glasses have become favorite collector and gift items. Shop for them for your home bar, to complete your glassware collection or to give as a gift. Does this Spark an idea?
