What the AI looks for in Shot Glasses
- Capacity and pour line
- A standard US shot is 1.5 oz and a pony is 1 oz, so check the stated capacity and whether there is a measured fill line. Many shot glasses are oversized or undersized, which throws off recipes and pours.
- Heavy base
- Prefer a thick, weighted bottom. Shot glasses get set down hard, and a heavy base resists chipping and tipping.
- Dishwasher durability
- Choose plain glass over printed or decal designs if you plan to machine wash. Printed graphics fade or peel with repeated dishwasher use.
Brands that matter
- Libbey: Commercial-grade, durable basics.
- Bormioli Rocco: Affordable Italian glass in classic shapes.
- Spiegelau: Sturdier crystal options for a more refined shot glass.
What to avoid
- Novelty printed glasses for heavy dishwasher use.
- Very thin-walled shot glasses in bar or party settings.
