Clear glass is what most people picture when they think of shot glasses, and most of this range delivers exactly that. There are also aluminium shot cups that chill faster than glass and work at events where glass is not an option, a mini martini glass for operators who want something different on the back bar, and an espresso cup that crosses into coffee service territory. Multi-piece sets round out the range and sit in a different market to individual bar glasses, suited to gifting rather than service. The distinction matters when briefing, because the right choice depends entirely on where the glasses end up.

For bars, a shot glass with a logo serves a purpose beyond the pour. The glass is in someone's hand at the moment they are most engaged with the venue, ordering, being served, or mid-round with a group. That is well-placed real estate for a brand mark, and it is why most venues that start using branded glassware tend to keep using it. The repeat order rate on this category is high. Once a venue has the artwork set up and the style locked in, reorders are straightforward.

Engraving gives a cleaner, more permanent result than printing on certain glass types. Printing works across more styles and suits higher-volume orders where turnover is a factor. The aluminium shot cups have their own branding process and are worth considering separately if the brief involves outdoor events or licensed venues with glass restrictions.

Good to Know

What types of shot glasses does this range include?
The range covers individual clear glass shot glasses in several shapes, aluminium shot cups, a mini martini glass, an espresso cup, and multi-piece glass sets. The packaged sets suit gifting; the individual glass styles are the go-to choice for regular service.

What is the difference between engraving and printing on shot glasses?
Engraving cuts into the glass surface for a permanent result that holds up without fading, while printing applies colour directly to the glass and suits logos where colour matters. Not every style supports both methods, so check the product page before ordering.

Do shot glasses come in different capacities?
The range includes styles from small single-serve sizes up to larger formats crossing into tasting or espresso territory. Match the capacity to how the glass will be used rather than defaulting to the smallest option.

Which shot glass style holds up best in a bar environment?
Thicker-walled clear glass styles last longer in high-turnover service because they handle repeated stacking and washing better. Engraved styles hold up equally well because the decoration sits in the glass rather than on the surface, so there is nothing to chip or fade.
