Marble & Onyx Shot Glasses, Set of 2 — Handmade Stone Cups for Tequila & Whiskey
What Makes Radicaln Different
Description
A glass shot glass is a glass shot glass — it does the job and nothing else. These are carved from natural marble and onyx, so each pair is cut from stone that formed over millions of years and no two are alike. They're cool in the hand, heavy for their size, and they turn a pour of tequila or whiskey into something you notice. Sold as a set of two, in a rounded 1.2 oz or a tapered 1.0 oz design.

What makes these stone shot glasses different
Two designs, two pours
The rounded design has a belly and a flared lip, holding 1.2 ounces — a shape that sits in the palm and suits sipping. The tapered design is the classic straight-sided shot glass silhouette at 1.0 ounce. Both stand 2 inches and ship as a pair.
On size: a standard American shot is 1.5 ounces, so these pour smaller — deliberately. A 1 to 1.2 ounce measure suits sipping good tequila, mezcal, or whiskey rather than throwing back a full shot. If you want a full 1.5 oz pour, these will read small.
Marble and onyx — no two pairs alike
The colors run across two stones. White Onyx and Green Onyx are translucent with visible banding that catches the light; Oceanic, Verona, and White are marble with veining. Because every piece is cut from natural stone, the pattern in your pair is unique to it — the two glasses in a set won't even match each other exactly.
Cool stone, solid weight
Stone stays naturally cool to the touch and has real heft for its size. Chill the glasses in the fridge or freezer beforehand and they'll hold a pour cold — stone holds temperature rather than creating it, so pre-chilling is what makes the difference.
Made for spirits worth slowing down for
Stone cups have a long association with tequila and mezcal service, and the same logic suits whiskey, bourbon, or a good rum. The small measure and the weight in the hand encourage sipping rather than shooting.
Stone vs glass shot glasses
| Stone (this) | Glass | Metal | Ceramic | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stays cool in the hand | Yes — naturally cool stone | Warms quickly | Yes, but conducts fast | Warms quickly |
| Weight in the hand | Solid stone | Light | Light to medium | Medium |
| See the spirit's color | No — opaque or translucent | Yes — clear | No | No |
| Each piece unique | Yes — natural banding | No | No | Usually uniform |
| Dishwasher safe | No — hand wash | Usually | Usually | Usually |
The honest trade-off: stone won't let you see the spirit's color the way clear glass does, and at 1–1.2 oz these pour smaller than a standard shot. In exchange you get a cup that stays cool, has weight in the hand, and looks like nothing else on the bar cart. If you want to judge a whiskey's color, use glass; if you want the drinking to feel like an occasion, use these.

How to use and care for your stone shot glasses
- Rinse before first use and dry.
- Chill them first if you want a cold pour — fridge or freezer, 20 minutes.
- Pour 1 to 1.2 ounces depending on the design you chose.
- Hand wash and dry after use; don't leave them soaking.
Best for: tequila, mezcal, whiskey, bourbon, rum, and liqueurs. Not for: hot drinks or the dishwasher.
Materials and craftsmanship
Each glass is hand-carved and hand-polished from a single piece of natural marble or onyx, then finished smooth inside and out. The onyx variants are translucent enough to glow when they catch the light; the marble variants carry veining that runs differently through every piece.
A note on natural stone: no two glasses match, and yours won't be a pixel-perfect copy of the photo. That variation is the stone, not a flaw. Marble and onyx are porous by nature, which is why the surfaces are polished and why hand washing matters.
Care instructions
- Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly.
- Skip the dishwasher — heat and detergents wear polished stone.
- Don't soak them or leave water standing inside.
- Avoid extreme temperature swings — don't pour hot liquid into a freezer-cold glass.
- Don't let acidic drinks sit in them; citrus juice can etch stone over time. Rinse after use.
- Avoid abrasive pads, which scratch the polish.
Who this is for
- Tequila and mezcal drinkers who sip rather than shoot.
- Whiskey and bourbon drinkers who want something with weight in the hand.
- Home bars and bar carts that need a piece worth leaving out.
- Groomsmen and gift buyers — a set of two stone shot glasses is a natural gift for a whiskey or tequila drinker.
- Anyone tired of identical glass shot glasses.
Good for: housewarmings, weddings and groomsmen gifts, Father's Day, and Christmas.

About these marble and onyx shot glasses
These handmade shot glasses are carved from natural marble and onyx and sold as a set of two.

Stone stays cool in the hand and carries real weight for its size, which suits sipping tequila, mezcal, or whiskey rather than a fast shot. Because every piece is cut from natural stone, no two pairs are alike. Free US shipping and a 30-day return policy.
