Little glass bottles are all the rage!
Little glass bottles are becoming more and more popular. This trend is particularly noticeable in the fields of cosmetics and spirits, for example digestifs or various liqueurs. Miniature glass bottles provide an excellent opportunity to repackage the original product in another format so as to address different target groups.
Where does this idea of a shot in a small glass bottle come from?
The legend of the cowboy
There are different theories about the origin of the term “shot”. If you believe in the cowboy story, the term comes from the cowboy era in the Wild West of the United States. Legend has it that cowboys without any container for their liquor could trade a cartridge from their belt for a small amount in the saloon. The term “shot” developed from this exchange transaction, as did the German word “Schnapps”. It is not known whether it really came about like this.
A shot in a small glass bottle
The idea of filling a small glass bottle with hard spirit is not new, but it’s very trendy. This is particularly true for artisan distillers, who are showcasing their miniature glass bottles. These have the advantage is that you can take them anywhere, give them as a gift or even keep one as a souvenir. Moreover, a small shot bottle is often used as an accompaniment to the main product to create a presentation or promotional box.
Sama Sama’s little glass bottle
The name Sama Sama is synonymous with fair trade ginger drinks, made with love in Switzerland. Only quality products come in glass bottles. Fresh ginger juice, the product of fair trade and natural cultivation. For Julia and Kevian, the ginger adventure began in Indonesia in 2017. Hence the name: Sama Sama means “you’re welcome” in the Indonesian national language. Participatory financing enabled their company to grow, and ever since then it has been offering ginger drinks to lovers of ginger.
Sama Sama Ginger Liqueur is full of fresh ginger juice, which the makers source directly from India. To match the 500 ml pharmacy bottle, they created the miniature 30 ml glass bottle. The special feature of these two bottles is the way their logo is printed on them. Sama Sama also sells a Shot Box, in which one 500 ml medicine bottle and four miniature bottles of Sama Sama Shot are combined.
Bisbino’s little glass bottle
Bisbino gin is closely associated with the mountain from which it takes its name, Monte Bisbino, which is the source of its history, character and structure. The woods and paths where Martino Mombelli – founder of artisan food company Terra Matta – created the secret recipe are also the places where he, Giona Meyer, Rupen Nacaroglu and Damiano Merzari met to exchange ideas and develop a common dream: to create the first gin from the Ticino region of Switzerland.
Bisbino Gin’s main product is the 500 ml Mooena bottle. Their gin is also available in a miniature 50 ml glass bottle that can be personalised. An eye-catching duo!
