If so, you probably want to make sure your bar is as functional and visually impressive as possible. To make your bar top-notch, you need high-end liquor, quality glasses that include martini, wine, highball, and rocks varieties, and a myriad of mixers. You should also have shot glasses to round out your glassware and make your bar complete.

The Functionality of Shot Glasses
Shot glasses are an essential part of your bar set-up. They help in the measuring and serving of drinks as many cocktails have a shot glass full of one or more types of alcohol in them. Shot glasses are also good to keep on hand for drinking games, celebrations that can be enhanced by participants taking a shot, and even for tasting events where you can give everyone shot glass sized cocktails so they can try out a variety of drinks without having to imbibe in the full-sized version.
The Style of Shot Glasses
Custom shot glasses or decorative shot glasses also add a lot of style to your bar area. If you put them in a visible spot and not hidden behind a cabinet door, your shot glasses can encourage conversation, garner compliments, and help you and your guests remember good times if you acquired your shot glasses at certain destinations or celebrations.
Why to Consider Custom Shot Glasses
Custom shot glasses are a fun way to liven up your bar. You can print any type of message or design on them and the possibilities are endless. Here are a few ideas for creating and utilizing customer shot glasses:
- Create them for specific celebrations. Hosting a birthday party, anniversary, or milestone? Have shot glasses printed up with a congratulatory message and pass them out to attendees.
- Show your colors. Host frequent sports-watching parties at your home? Get shot glasses with the logos of your favorite teams to show your support.
- Commemorate events. Having everyone over for St. Patrick’s Day or the Fourth of July? Create custom shot glasses with the date of the holiday so everyone can relive the moment every time they take a shot.
- Put your logo on them. If you own a business, you can create fun shot glasses with your company logo on them. Give them away to any colleagues, clients, or networking partners when they visit your bar so they will always remember your business.
