It’s time for a brand-new episode of Thirsty Thursday, the series where we test out branded drinkware and sip (or sometimes shoot) a mystery drink—all in the name of fun, good vibes, and promotional product inspiration.
This time, we were joined by Briar Swigert from Simple Signs and Print and Kelly Bowe from our own Hasseman Marketing team, making for an entertaining and slightly mischievous tasting session.
What’s on the table? A stainless steel shot glass from Keystone Line and Spiced Apple Punch from Jack Daniels. Did we shoot it or sip it? You’ll have to watch to find out.

The Drinkware: Stainless Steel Shot Glass from Keystone Line
Let’s be honest—shot glasses don’t always scream “high-quality merch,” but this one? It’s the real deal.
Product Link: Keystone Stainless Steel Shot Glass
Here’s why we loved it:
-
Sleek and modern – The stainless steel finish gives it a high-end look and feel.
-
Durable – Unlike traditional glass, this one can survive a drop (or a party).
-
Compact and portable – Easy to toss in a merch kit, welcome bag, or event swag pack.
-
Versatile branding opportunity – Small but mighty in terms of impact.
Whether it’s for corporate retreats, holiday parties, or team gifts, this shot glass is a fun and functional way to get your brand in the mix. Oh…and if you want to order this (or any other recent Thirsty Thursday piece) head to our shop here.
The Drink: Spiced Apple Punch by Jack Daniels
Of course, it wouldn’t be Thirsty Thursday without a mystery drink, and this one brought some warm fall energy to the table: Jack Daniels Spiced Apple Punch.
What we thought:
-
Flavorful and festive – Hints of apple and spice made this one feel like a cozy campfire cocktail.
-
Smooth enough to sip, bold enough to shoot – Which made our decision a little tougher.
-
Great for events or holiday-themed tastings – Definitely a drink we’d revisit.
While not every mystery drink is a crowd-pleaser, this one got a thumbs-up across the board.
Final Verdict: Fun All Around
The big debate? Do you sip or shoot when it’s Thirsty Thursday and you’ve got a stainless steel shot glass in hand? We won’t spoil the moment, but let’s just say everyone came ready to play.
The drink was solid. The shot glass? A total hit.
