Bomb shot glass

Description

A bomb shot glass is a small measure glass, typically around 25-30ml, sized specifically to be dropped — glass and all — into a larger drink such as a highball or pint of lager. The straight, narrow sides mean it sinks cleanly through the liquid above it without catching on the rim of the larger glass or floating awkwardly on the surface. It's a specific-purpose item: too small to use as a general single-shot measure glass on its own, but exactly the right size and shape for the drop.

It's typically bought in multiples rather than as a single item, since bomb shots tend to be ordered in rounds and glasses go through service quickly. It's inexpensive enough that treating a few as breakages or losses each week isn't a major cost, and there's no real reason to buy a premium version, since the job doesn't call for anything beyond a plain, correctly sized glass. Dishwasher safe, though check they're seated securely in a rack given their small size.
