Where can I find a glass that is bigger than a standard shot glass but smaller than your average tumbler? To put it by volume, about three fluid oz or 100 ml. ---

Rip one off the local Indian casino. No, seriously. Some of our standard, around-the-house liquor glasses are ones we’ve brought back from various trips to Vegas. Or check eBay for “lowball glasses.” ---

[Here](http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?sku=18491613&) ya go. 5 oz…just don’t fill them full. They also have a variety of other shapes. If you don’t need a set of twelve, go to you local dollar store. Mine always has a wide variety of all sizes of glassware. ---

Back in the day we called them “rocks glasses.” ---

Ikea has a line of glasses called [Pokal](http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90091996/) that fits in nicely with [Gibraltar](http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=101477) glasses. In your size range, they have 2 and 5 ounce sizes. ---

> [@DrFidelius](#): > > Back in the day we called them “rocks glasses.” Those are usually 2-3x what the OP is looking for, though. Any reason you couldn’t go with a “double shot glass.” Those are usually 3 oz. Some are the same diameter but taller, some are wider. EDIT: I think those “Pokal” are what I have. Hard to tell from the image without a scale as I have the small ones, too. They are the wider kind. ---
