The traditional Glass to enjoy Mezcal in Mexico. A cross marks the bottom of each Vaso Veladora, revealing the cups' original purpose as containers for prayer candles in Catholic Churches across Mexico. Centuries ago, the glasses were repurposed for drinking Mezcal and are now found abundantly in mezcalerias and restaurants around Mexico. A popular saying in Oaxaca is "Hasta que ver la cruz", meaning "Drink until you see the cross". Each glass holds approximately 2.7oz / 80ml and the broad mouth allows the aromas of your favorite agave drink to circulate better. Also great for enjoying Tequila or as a unique shot glass for any drink. Excellent gift idea for any Mezcal or Tequila fan.
