PRESSCOTT CORDIAL GLASSES BY ARTLAND | $28 (SET OF FOUR)

Keep it classy with aperitifs like vermouth, pastis or ouzo. Then again, these kickin' glass sculptural forms could give your Jägermeister a little makeover just as easily. You choose, kiddo.

 

[Available at Motley Home, 652 Tremont St., South End, Boston. 617.266.5566. motleyhome.com]

 

COOL SHOOTERS FILL-AND-CHILL SHOT GLASS MOLD BY FRED | $17

Just give these molds a little liquid and some quality time in the freezer, and you can pop out four shot glasses, all icy and chill and shit. Water's the classic "crystal," but we can see fun times ahead with using chocolate milk.

 

[Available at Davis Squared, 409 Highland Ave., Davis Sq., Somerville. 617.666.6700. davissquared.com]

 

GLASS BY SELETTI | $9.50

The first thing you want to do is squeeze this poor thing, but look (and feel) again: It's fine glass, not plastic-so don't be chucking it into the trash with the rest of your crushed Dixie cups.

 

[Available at Lekker, 1317 Washington St., South End, Boston. 617.542.6464. lekkerhome.com]

 

ETCHED CRYSTAL VODKA SHOT GLASSES BY SALVIATI | $120 (SET OF SIX)

Crafted Venetian beauties like these call for a special kind of occasion. Cull your friends, select a design from this assortment and pull out your best booze for a night that no one (especially campus security) will forget.

 

[Available at Bliss Home, 121 Newbury St., Boston. 617.421.5544. blisshome.com]

 

SILVERED GLASS | $0.63

It was a difficult toss-up between this gleaming vintage number (on hand with three of its matching brethren), a University of Rochester shooter and a singleton glass that said "MARTY'S" in red.

 

[Available at Goodwill, 230 Elm St., Davis Sq., Somerville. 617.628.3618. goodwillmass.org]

 

BEE SHOT GLASS BY BREAD AND BADGER | $10

Local artist Amanda Siska produces these hand-etched barware pieces with designs like robots, octopi and cartoony bombs. Get ready to whip out the rum, cream and honey for a stinging Bee's Kiss.

 

[Available at Magpie, 416 Highland Ave., Davis Sq., Somerville. 617.623.3330. magpie-store.com]
