As selecting the right glassware for fine dining is important, equally necessary is the need for enhancing the ambience and presentation of associated dÈcor objects. Glasses for special use, like wine, cocktail or shot glasses, need to be placed strategically where they can be admired safe from clumsy hands. Shot glass cabinets are designed for adding elegance to the serving style and giving certain flair to guest servicing standards. Apart from the obvious aesthetics, specialized glassware is created to complement the drink it is intended to serve but just as often, these serve as conversation pieces too.

What is a shot glass?

As the name suggest, a shot glass is used for serving shots straight up. In addition, shot glasses can also be used to measure the amount of alcohol used in other mixed drinks and are a great addition to any bar. Even when the host does not intend serving shots, the presence of these specialized glasses can add to the sense of fashion and bartending which any fine dining experience calls for.

Features of a shot glass cabinet

The shot glass cabinet can be a simple rack with divisions in them to store small or big shot glasses and these normally have removable/adjustable shelves to fit in the size of shot glasses a collector might have. The simpler versions are generally unobtrusive and quite often are parts of larger pieces of furniture, such as hutches and vanities. Large shot glasses or Shooters, need greater space for display, therefore exact measurements are required before purchasing a display cabinet for these. The cabinets can be a combination storage-display unit for both big and small shot glasses and come equipped with sliding glass front or doors and can be either wall hung or countertop units.

Purpose of a shot glass cabinet

There are avid liquor drinkers and party-goers who love to have these finer aspects of living and style in their homes, some for the sheer pleasure that ownership of trendy things gives them and some for more serious reasons. Whatever be the reasons, for a shot glass collector, the need for a way to show off the collection is great and here is why the display cabinet especially designed for storing and 'showing off glass beauties' like shot glasses, comes in. Usually, glasses are stored along with liquor cabinets but many collectors of shot glasses prefer to get special display cabinets that are custom designed specifically to store liquor associated paraphernalia, such as specialty shot glasses and stirrers. Ornate versions of shot glass cabinets available, at premium prices, aim at being the ultimate style statement for home dÈcor and room enhancement measures.
