What are the different types of shot glasses?

Shot glasses:
Usually, very classic shot glasses are cylindrical in shape and have a solid bottom with thin walls. They are sturdy and good for parties. They are usually used to serve spirits such as Jägermeister, Sambuca or clear fruit liqueurs. They usually have a calibration mark at two or four cl.

Digestif glasses: A digestif is also known as a digestive liquor. With their long stem and tulip-shaped goblet, digestif glasses look very elegant. Serve vodka, fruit brandy or Jägermeister as a digestif. However, you can also use a regular shot glass as a digestif glass.

Aperitif glasses:
An aperitif is the opposite of a digestif, as it is served before the meal. Aperitif glasses can have different shapes depending on the type of aperitif and the model of the glass. Some restaurateurs also serve cocktails such as Campari Orange or Aperol Spritz as an aperitif.

Martini glasses:
Martini glasses have a long stem and a tapered drinking bowl. They are used for martinis, as the name suggests, but also for various cocktails such as White Russian or Bloody Mary. Smaller shapes of martini glasses are used as liquor bowls to better drink thick liquors like eggnog or strawberry limes

Grappa glasses:
Grappa glasses have a similar noble shape as digestif glasses, but are more bulbous. This allows the schnapps to develop its flavor perfectly. The 37 percent strong classic spirit from Italy is enjoyed from a grappa glass.

Our tip

Give your new glasses a personal, individual touch with a personalization. Have your new shot glasses engraved with your logo or lettering of choice and stand out from the competition.

What is the capacity of the different shot glasses?

An aperitif glass suitable for Ramazotti or Averna is up to 15 cm high because of the thick bottom. The round glass has a diameter of 6 cm and can be filled with up to 130 ml of liquid. Aperitif glasses for cocktails remind of a white wine glass in terms of shape. They have a capacity of up to 260 ml, but usually do not have a mark by a filling line.
