What is a shot glass?
Unlike water glasses or beer glasses, it is recognisable by its small size, This size of glass generally holds between 3cl and 10cl and can be used for arranged rums, liqueurs, spirits or any other strong alcohol, diluted or not.

How do I use a shot glass?
Using a shot glass is simple: just fill it with your favourite spirit and take a single sip. However, while tradition demands that drinks be drunk in one gulp, this is not a requirement and you can just as easily decide to sip your liqueur slowly to appreciate all its aromas.

Another factor to consider is the temperature of your spirit: while white spirits such as vodka or tequila are best enjoyed cold, pure malts are best enjoyed at room temperature. A little tip: don't hesitate to place your glasses in the freezer to ensure that your drink stays fresh.
