Custom Shot Glasses: Big Brand Impact in a Small Package

Custom Shot Glasses: Big Brand Impact in a Small Package

Few promotional items capture celebration like a custom shot glass. At events, in bars, or as keepsake gifts, every toast becomes a moment to remember—and your logo becomes part of it. For context, in the U.S. a “standard drink” of distilled spirits is 1.5 oz (44 mL), which aligns perfectly with classic shot glass sizing, helping you plan pours and recipes for activations (CDC — Standard Drink Sizes).

Why Custom Shot Glasses Work

Drinkware consistently performs as a promotional category thanks to heavy reuse and daily visibility - more use = more impressions. See a concise industry overview here: PPAI — Branded Drinkware Is Always Half-Full.
