Features of metal shot glasses
Shot glasses and shot glasses are containers intended for drinking strong drinks. They are suitable for vodka, horseradish vodka, absinthe, tequila or rum. They are made of glass, crystal, plastic or metal. Let's consider what is special about metal shot glasses?
The variety of materials from which metal cookware is made is quite extensive.
- Stainless steel. The most popular metal, which is characterized by resistance to corrosion, lightness, strength and beauty.
- Silver. Used to make expensive gift sets.
- Tin. The metal is absolutely harmless to humans, it does not emit harmful substances when in contact with food and does not oxidize.
- Bronze. A bronze product looks expensive and stylish, is rust-resistant and can serve for decades.
Additional information! Silver ions are capable of destroying various bacteria and viruses. This metal can also purify water and change its structural features.
Types and advantages of metal stacks
The shape of metal shot glasses is convenient and stable. Traditionally, the capacity varies from 20 to 100 ml with a height of 4-7 cm. Some manufacturers offer more capacious items with a volume of more than 200 ml upon request.
Please note! The small diameter of the shot glass is not accidental. During the process of drinking the drink, the person's nose, remaining outside the glass, does not inhale the smell of strong alcohol.
Metal shot glasses are usually made simple and smooth on the outside, they look like a glass, widened at the top. The coating can be matte or glossy, but the bottom is always flat. This is their main difference from glass analogues, which have a rounded bottom inside.
There are four types of metal stack shapes.
- Cylindrical.
- Barrel.
- Conical.
- Curved.
Among the main advantages of metal cookware, the following can be highlighted.
- Aesthetics. Achieved through a variety of shapes and a noble metallic color.
- Durability. Such dishes cannot be broken.
- Eco-friendliness. Harmless to both humans and the environment.
- Resistance to high and low temperatures. You can pour boiling water without fear of cracking, and you can put it in the freezer.
- Easy to clean. Washes well both by hand and in the dishwasher
- Easy to store. No temperature or light conditions are required.
What sets of glasses are there?
Metal shot glasses have a fairly wide range of uses. These can be practical shot glasses in compact cases for tourists and exclusive gift sets of shot glasses decorated with engraving or hand carving.
The most popular are sets of metal shot glasses in a case. The sets consist of two, four or six glasses that are compactly folded into each other, due to which the packed set takes up very little space. A case made of leather or leatherette is provided for storing the shot glasses.
Manufacturers also offer sets of shot glasses complete with a flask. Glassware with engraving is also in demand. This can be a standard drawing or a personalized engraving made to order. There are sets of shot glasses not in one, but in separate cases.
The convenience of metal shot glasses for tourism
Travel metal shot glasses are a convenient solution for any trip. They are an excellent alternative to plastic disposable tableware.
An indispensable attribute of a hiking trip is a folding metal stack, which is popular due to its design. When folded, it looks like an ordinary small case. It consists of a stand and rings installed on it in the form of truncated cones.
There are options for camping metal shot glasses without a folding design. They are most often packed in a leather case of four pieces. They do not take up much more space in a tourist's bag than a folding glass.
Important! Stainless steel hiking glasses, regardless of design, are a useful and irreplaceable thing on a hiking trip. After all, they can be used not only for alcoholic drinks. They are convenient for brewing tea or coffee.
What is original about the “drunk” glass?
There are metal utensils of unusual and bizarre shapes. This includes the “drunk” shot glass, which is bent to the side, imitating the state of a drunk person.
These shot glasses are sold individually and in sets. Unlike the tourist set, the "drunk" set is packed not in a leather case, but in a box. Since the non-standard model of the shot glass cannot be compactly placed inside each other. Shots that are sold individually are usually packed in a special bag decorated with funny inscriptions.
How to Choose a Great Gift Set of Shot Glasses
A gift in the form of metal shot glasses will appeal to both the representative of the stronger sex and any girl or woman. After all, among the variety of standard "men's" sets, brass shot glasses covered with chrome or silver shot glasses stand out for their special elegance.
A souvenir set of bronze items will emphasize the status of the owner of such a gift. This can be either a large gift set of shot glasses or two shot glasses packed in a box.
For fans of intellectual board games, you can present a gift souvenir in the form of a chessboard and metal shot glasses instead of checkers. A set of stainless steel shot glasses in an alcohol roulette set can also be an interesting gift.
