Mezcal glass
The venerable vaso veladora shot glass is a true Mexican classic.
But vaso veladoras aren’t just another pretty glass. They are extremely utilitarian because their shape makes them difficult to break and very portable.
The typical veladora for mezcal is a squat glass with a relatively wide mouth and ribbed outer surface. These basic traits actually make the veladora particularly appealing to mezcal-lovers.
Due to mezcal’s strength, many find that the best way to appreciate it is to sip a small amount over time, instead of taking quick shots or pouring it back fast. Thus, it’s smart to serve mezcal in a somewhat small glass that can hold the ideal amount.
Mezcal also needs to “breathe” like many other beverages of its type. The wide mouth of the veladora allows it to do so. Additionally, because it has a wide mouth, when someone takes a sip of mezcal from a veladora, there’s little risk of the strong alcohol fumes overwhelming them.
