Flag of the Second Mexican Empire (Mexico) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design renders the national flag of the Second Mexican Empire, the short-lived monarchy that Maximilian I of Habsburg ruled from 1864 to 1867, as a crisp flat-vector tricolour.

Visual Elements & Composition

Three equal vertical bands run top to bottom in emerald green, white and crimson red. The white centre band carries the imperial coat of arms, an oval shield with a crowned eagle shown with outstretched wings. The eagle stands on a prickly pear cactus and grips a serpent in its talons, with winged supporting figures flanking the shield. Gold heraldic detailing picks out the crown and the emblem, so the eye lands on the centre of the flag first.

Meaning & Symbolism

The eagle is the eagle of Anahuac, the emblem that has stood for Mexico since the Aztec founding legend of Tenochtitlan. Its crown and the imperial regalia around it are the mark of Maximilian's claim to authority, set on top of the traditional green-white-red flag. The flag regulations of 1 November 1865 made this vertical tricolour the national standard. The empire fell in 1867, when the republic was restored under Benito Juárez, which leaves this flag as a record of one brief and contested chapter in Mexican history.

Built for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the tricolour bands read as bold stripes as the glass is lifted, and the eagle at the centre sits right in the line of sight. It is a compact way to carry a piece of 1860s heraldry onto the bar cart or the shelf, where the design can be admired as much as the drink.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
