Shots and shooters can really get the party started, but they can also be enjoyed as a toast at any celebration. These quick, boozy drinks are either served neat (shots) or served up like a mini cocktail (shooters). Shots and shooters are often served during celebrations, as part of drinking games, or as a prelude to a night of revelry.
Much like the drinks they carry, shot and shooter glasses are diminutive vessels designed to carry enough to be consumed in a single gulp, but don't be fooled by their small stature. Shots and shooters often combine multiple liqueurs, resulting in potent concoctions with intense flavours like the popular Kamikaze, B-52, and Tequila Sunrise, so it’s definitely a case of less is more.
When enjoyed in moderation, shots and shooters embody the spirit of celebration, friendship, and adventure, creating shared experiences and unforgettable moments. The ideal shot glass should have a capacity of around 30 to 60 millilitres, providing enough volume for a shot or mix of liqueur, whilst maintaining a compact size for quick pouring and drinking.
For an understated elegance try our Exmoor shot glass. A classic, simple shot glass, the Exmoor is weighty and sophisticated. Made of lead crystal, it has a distinctive bubble in the base of the glass. Another Dartington favourite is our dimple shot glass, which contains an elegant dimple in the base of the glass.
Our shot glasses are handmade by our expert glassmakers, and they can be engraved with a personalised message, making them the perfect gift for people who are the life and soul of the party!
If you prefer a more generous serving of your favourite spirit, neat and over ice, then browse our collection of tumblers. The dimple old fashioned whisky glass has a dimple in the base and is made from lead crystal, giving the glass a weighty feel.
