Cortez Recycled Shot Glasses
Best sustainable glassware for eco-conscious hosts who love artisanal barware.
Crafted by skilled artisans from discarded glass, the Cortez shot glasses are hand-blown into a casual, freeform design inspired by oceanside dining. Each glass features a rustic look with thick shams that feel substantial in hand, perfect for enjoying mezcal, reposado, or liqueur. This set includes four shot glasses, each tinted in a unique earthy shade: olive green, light amber, crystal, and light chocolate smoke. They offer a 2-oz. capacity and are freezer-safe, though hand washing is recommended to maintain their quality. Made in Mexico, these glasses bring a touch of sustainable style to your barware collection.
