Veladora Mezcal Cups – Traditional Mexican Mezcal Glasses (Set of 4)
Veladora Mezcal Cups are the traditional glasses used for sipping mezcal in Mexico. Originally repurposed from candle holders (veladoras) found in churches and homes, these glasses have become the standard vessel for mezcal service, valued for their simplicity, symbolism, and functionality.
Each glass features a wide mouth and sturdy, squat profile that allows mezcal aromas to open fully while softening the perception of alcohol. The cross imprint at the base is a traditional detail commonly found in classic veladora glasses, connecting mezcal culture with ritual and everyday Mexican life.
This set of 4 veladora mezcal cups is ideal for home tasting, professional bars, mezcalerías, and gifting. Suitable for sipping mezcal neat, guided tastings, or refined cocktail service, these glasses offer an authentic and practical alternative to conventional shot glasses.
