Shot Glass Cabinets for Displaying Shot Glass Collections

Shot glasses are used to serve shots of liquor "straight up." They are also used to measure small amounts of alcohol when mixing drinks. A great addition to any bar, a shot glass cabinet gives a touch of style to an entertaining area and serves to display the owner's valuable collection. Any number of shot glass cabinets may be installed side by side, depending on the size of the collection.

A shot glass cabinet is usually a square or rectangular unit with compartments for storing different-sized shot glasses. Some styles are open while others have sliding glass doors. The shelves are adjustable to be able to accommodate various shot glass sizes. Varieties of the simple kind of shot glass cabinet may be a part of vanities or hutches and are generally discreet in design.

"Shooters," or large shot glasses, need a bigger space for display. There are shot glass cabinets that can be hung horizontally or vertically or set on a counter top. They are typically made from a wide variety of wood. Remember to take exact measurements before deciding to purchase a ready-made shot glass cabinet.

As more and more people become party hosts, there is an ever-increasing need for the construction of places for entertaining guests. There are occasional drinkers who only drink during special occasions, and there are avid drinkers who devote a lot of money designing the perfect mini-bar. An attractive shot glass cabinet installed in the right place easily lends charm and style to an otherwise empty wall or counter top.

Shot glasses can be pieces of art and may represent a valuable collection. They should therefore have a place of honor in the house, and a well-manufactured shot glass cabinet would be perfect for these items. Depending on your style, you may also want to store other items such as miniature liquor bottles to break the monotony of displaying only shot glasses. All you need to do is plan for it to determine the compartment sizes or have your own shot glass cabinet custom-made.
