Tips For Serving Shots & Shooters

  • Use fun shot glasses. There are so many options for fun shot glasses to serve your shots in, depending on the theme of your party and type of shot. Try these fun mini tumbler shot glasses, these lab beaker shot glasses, these mini mason jar shot glasses, or these golf ball shot glasses.
  • Use a bar spoon for layering. If the shot you are making has layers, use a bar spoon to help form the layers properly. Pour each layer down the back of the spoon so it lands gently on top of the layer below.
  • Serve them on a platter. If you are serving a bunch of shots for a group of people, a shots tray makes handing around shots at your party easy.
  • Use a cocktail shaker if needed. Some shots may need to be shaken. Use a high quality cocktail shaker to make the most delicious shots. An insulated shaker also doesn’t get as cold on the outside so you can make a bunch of shots in a row!
  • Chill your shot glasses. If you have the time, chill your shot glasses in the fridge or freezer for an hour before serving your shots to help them stay extra cold.
