Shot Glass Sizes report

shot glass sizingIf you are setting up a bar or want a little bartender education, here is some clarification to make you the expert on those miniature glasses. One thing that should be clear is that shot glasses, jiggers, and shooters each have a distinct purpose for measuring, mixing, or drinking alcoholic drinks. However, it is common for all three to be called "shot glasses" and used interchangeably.

Many people may be confused about why some shot glasses are wee, some are about average-seeming, and some are gargantuan. Shot glasses didn't even really exist at all before the 1930s. Jiggers were used to measure spirits and make cocktails, but the drinking was done from normal-sized glasses or smaller cups at that time. Over time, the whiskey tasters evolved into modern shot glasses.

When asked how many ounces are in a shot glass, most of us would answer "one." But that is not the case. It is a great time to know your drinking limit. The following post explains how many ounces are in a short glass in different countries.

Shot Glass Size Guide

The U.S. government has never officially set a standard for a shot glass because shot glasses are small cups. Bartenders don't use shot glasses for measuring out spirits for cocktails. And there is only one U.S. state with a standardized shot glass size: Utah, where it is 1.5 ounces. In the U.S., shots usually come in two sizes: one ounce or 1.5 ounces (30 ml and 44 ml), and you don't know which size you will get until it is placed in front of you. Some bars don't even use shot glasses; bartenders will use regular small glasses.
