I like whiskey. A lot. Doesn’t matter what form it takes—bourbon, scotch, rye, I like them all. I even had some corn whiskey, a.k.a. moonshine, last weekend. It tasted exactly like corn and rubbing alcohol. Mostly rubbing alcohol. I don’t recommend it, but I had to try it.
Bourbons are my go-to, but this weekend is St. Patrick’s Day, and that means it’s all about Irish whiskey. And if you’re going to drink a good Irish whiskey (Jameson is always excellent, but if you’re feeling fancy, seek out a bottle of Redbreast 12 Year Old), you need a good shot glass to drink from. Drinkware makers have got shot glasses in spades, so without further ado, here are my 10 favorite promotional shot glasses.
10. Whiskey 1.75 oz. Shot from ADG Promotional Products
No fuss, no muss, just the classic shot design.
9. 2 oz. Clear Plastic Mini Martini from American Accents
Good for gin, vodka and people who really don’t like martinis but do anyway because they look cool.
8. Boot Shot from Numo
A scaled down version of the boot of beer bar classic, with less chance someone actually wore it.
7. Dual Wall Retro Shot Glasses from Greater China
Vibrant colors, cool shape and modern construction make these great for bars or just as decorations.
6. Clear 2 oz. Shooter from ETS Express
The thinner, more modern cousin to the traditional shot glass gives you more height for taller imprints.
5. Silicone Shot Glass from 4 Sizzle
Drinkers slam shot glasses. Glass shots break. These don’t.
4. Stainless Steel 2 oz. Shot Glass from Franmara
As with the glasses from 4 Sizzle, these won’t break and will last you a lifetime. Impression marks for 1 oz. and 2 oz. pours let these double as jiggers for bartenders.
3. 1.5 oz. Golf Sport Bottom Shot from Moderne Glass Co.
An update to the traditional design with an eye-catching gold rim and golf ball shape molded into the thick base. Baseball, football and basketball shapes are also available.
2. Souvenir Shot Glass from J. Charles Crystalworks
Your frosty mug of beer, shrunk down to an easy-to-give-away size.
1. 1.5 oz. Shot Gun Shell Shooter from HOWW Manufacturing
Just awesome. And available with a light.
