Talk:Shot glass

korea is missing – why?

In Korea, they have "soju glasses", which look pretty much exactly like schnaps glasses, and which hold pretty much the same amount, i.e., 2oz. If no one objects, I will add it to the list. Theonemacduff (talk) 06:06, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Do you have a source? Kendall-K1 (talk) 13:40, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Pre-pro reference

I removed the following:

Most shot glasses are found in the United States, but shot glasses from before the 1940s are very rare.

References

I checked the source and the statement is not verified. I think that "most shot glasses are found in the United States" is not a verifiable fact, and "shot glasses from before the 1940s are very rare" is too vague to verify - how rare is "very"? However the source is likely useful for other information. -- IamNotU (talk) 12:38, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

New Zealand

Does anyone have a reference for shots in New Zealand? From my experience, 15 mL is a single and 30 mL a double (so probably one of the stingiest servings of alcohol), but I don't have a reference for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.216.214.131 (talk) 23:07, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Under Jigger

“It was slang for a small drink of about half a gill or so, or the special cup used for it.”

This is clearly not accurate. The article on Jigger itself states a Jigger is used to measure either one ounce or 1 1/2 ounces. The article on Gill states a gill is half a teacup, which is four ounces full so a gill would be two. Now I realize that measurements vary all over the world and that an ounce in England is not the same as a U.S. ounce, but measurements ARE for the most part consistent within geographical boundaries. There’s a big difference between an ounce and a half, and two ounces. 33% is pretty significant when you start mixing drinks with multiple shots of various liquors. Three Margaritas mixed with two two ounce shots (we call those long shots where I come from), of tequila and one Triple Sec would be 33% stronger than three margaritas made with two 1 1/2 ounce shots, and one 1 1/2 ounce shot of Triple Sec, AND would get you a whole lot more schnockered. Three drinks the first way would be the same as four the second way. Small differences matter when dealing with mixed drinks. No way is a Jigger two ounces. If anybody can find a source and cite it I’ll eat my hat and my words, and if so, feel free to put it back in properly sourced and cited. 2601:180:105:C261:AC8A:5C75:683A:38EF (talk) 04:39, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Large

Saying 'large' in the UK is a thing and it's for a double, but there's no mention of it here, trying to find a good source to add. Does anyone know of one?Halbared (talk) 21:30, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Rounded shot glasses

Could we please have a photograph (or illustration) of a "rounded shot glass"? Or, failing that, a more evocative description. I am struggling to understand what the current description means: "the walls of the glass curve down leaving a 10 centimeter difference between the lip of the glass and the bottom rim of the glass". I am not even sure what the "bottom rim" is!

Is it referring to something a bit like these Noritake Bamboo Aperitif / Juice Glasses in shape (if not size)?
