In Reply to: shot glass size..... posted by fred on March 17, 2004 at 00:45:56:
No there isn't. The large companies like Libbey make them in all sizes. I have bartender friends who say they are only allowed to use 1 ounce shots, 1 1/2 ounce shots, 2 ounce shots, etc. The conservative collectors say shot glasses must be no taller than 3 inches (that leaves out Hard Rock Cafe shot glasses) nor shorter than 2 inches. They continue by saying that they can not hold more than 2 ounces nor less than an ounce. Liberal collectors say HECK if your bartender uses it to mix your drink or you use it to shove down some tequilla its a shot glass! Unfortunately the conservatives got the Guiness Book of World Records to sort of side with them. There will always be a discussion about what constitutes a shot glass. Form versus function.
