  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-11-28)
  
  I'm throwing a party with themed drinks, and one is a shot topped with 151, and set on fire.
  
  I'll need to serve about 15 at a time, and don't own that many shot glasses. Is there any disposable shot glass that can be safely held at about 130 °F or 66 °C (the only actual number I found online, but probably not too precise) for less than a minute? What plastic number (the recycling number) should I look for?

  Plastic will melt really quickly. Glass might even shatter if it's not the proper type. You need something made out of Pyrex (or similar type glass). I couldn't find Pyrex shot glasses, but they do make [100ml beakers](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B003TV9LQG) that might serve your purpose!
