Types of shot glasses

  • Whiskey shot glasses – classic heavy-base glasses from 7/8 oz to 3 oz.
  • Tall shot and shooter glasses – narrow glasses for layered shooters and tequila.
  • Metric and pour-line glasses – Can-Pour 28 mL, Pasabahce 25 mL and Libbey glasses with pour lines that double as a measure.
  • Plastic shot glasses – Carlisle Alibi and G.E.T. Roc 'N Roll for patios, events and mini desserts.

What to consider when choosing shot glasses

  • Standard pour – choose a glass that matches your standard pour (commonly 1 oz or 1.5 oz in Canada) so a full glass is a correct pour.
  • Measuring – pour-line glasses and Can-Pour metric glasses help with consistency; for cocktails, a jigger is still more accurate.
  • Breakage – heavy bases survive being slammed on the bar; plastic suits patios, pools and events.
  • Case packs – most glass shot glasses come in 24- to 72-packs; plan for breakage and walk-outs.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a standard shot?

In Canada a standard drink of spirits is 1.5 oz (about 43 mL), though many bars pour a 1 oz shot. Match your glass to the pour on your menu.

Can I use a shot glass instead of a jigger?

A pour-line or metric shot glass works for straight shots. For cocktails, a jigger gives faster, more precise measures.

What are 3 oz shooter glasses used for?

Larger shooters suit layered drinks, oyster shooters and mini desserts such as mousse or trifle tasters.
